BRAGGING RIGHTS

October 13th, 2011

Last FYI we mentioned our pride in a BCA-designed logo for the new Serra Meadows housing development in SLO, but, duh, we neglected to show you just what we were talking about. We herewith present the work with a nod to designer Christine Marin … And call him a chip off the high achieving parents block: little Carter Downing was born ten weeks early, but will have none of that teeny baby business. He is quickly outgrowing the Sierra Vista NICU and will be heading home soon. Proud Dad Brandon (KSBY TV’s Creative Services Director) and Mom Shannon (Sierra Vista’s Manager of Physician Relations & Marketing) are more than ready. Best wishes to a terrific trio.

GOOD WORKS

September 29th, 2011

Rabobank’s $10,000 contribution will provide a nice boost to the SLO Symphony’s impressive music education program. Rabo is a longtime friend of the Symphony, having sponsored the “No Ties Allowed!” free dress rehearsals at the PAC since 1997 … Kudos to the San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation for its recent Women’s Legacy Luncheon, a stellar sell out, an uplifting afternoon and an impressive fundraiser anchored by MC Sandi Sigurdson with a donation nudge provided by Betsey Nash. Help this most deserving cause with another outing – a screening of Sundance Film Festival winner “Miss Representation,” Wednesday, Oct. 5, 7 p.m. at the Fremont.

LOCAL BEAT

May 26th, 2011

The Central Coast Cancer Challenge is determined to make inroads to beating this wicked disease. Sign up and start training for the walk, run and bike events coming up later this summer. Kick Off Rally is June 4, 9-11:30 a.m. at Sierra Vista … The Bob Jones Trail just gets better and better. This Friday at 11 a.m. the newest piece – a quarter-mile section in the heart of Avila Beach (San Miguel Street to First Street) – will be feted with a ribbon cutting.
A year goes by quickly, and in the case of our county’s needy, it means more people looking for the great help of the Food Bank Coalition. Hunger Awareness Day is Friday, June 3. There are a zillion ways to help. Please do … Saturday, June 4 the SLO Wine and Grill Affair benefits Transitions Mental Health Association; enjoy grill and grape mastery with some of the county’s leading chefs and vintners. Perbacco Cellars at the historic Filliponi Ranch … June 6 marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic Embarcadero Inn in Morro Bay. Owned by the Biaggini family, you gotta love the sign that still stands on the property: “Built by Ed Biaggini III and Father.” Ed III passed away suddenly with a heart attack two years ago, but “Father” Harold is still hard at work. Lots of festivities planned to celebrate the quarter-century mark.
