Congratulations to Mission Community Bank, whose Santa Maria branch is celebrating its first anniversary … Inspiring is the word for the KLIFE Radio’s recent Community Impact Awards dinner honoring Jack’s Helping Hands, Jim Sargen, Beverly Aho and Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center. Videos noting the contributions of the honorees and a moving presentation by SLO Fire Chaplain Mike Ward made for a powerful evening … Delicious news: the Tribune’s Bill Morem placed a spotlight on Organic B.R.A.T.’s “ah-ha” business moment in today’s edition … Former Cuesta President Grace Mitchell’s recent move to Novato is a loss for SLO, but a nice win for the town where Maggie Cox grew up, and where her dad, who served as mayor, still lives. Something tells us Grace won’t be a newcomer for long.
