Category Chair Notes

Dear San Diego ACS Community,

It is with an abundance of both gratitude and humility that Jackie and I take over the position of Chair for our local community. Filling in Christina’s shoes is a tall order, but at least there are two of us! As Christina Vialva steps down, I want to extend immense appreciation for everything she has built up over the past year, and I am excited to continue working with her in a different capacity for 2025.

Dear valued members, As I welcome you into the month of August, I am sure many have recently returned from summer trips and/or are preparing themselves for fall semesters to begin. For those returning to studies or those who are entering…

Dear esteemed members,

I hope this message finds you all in great spirits and with a sense of fulfillment from our recent endeavors. I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the incredible volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to make our recent participation in the annual Creek to Bay Cleanup, hosted by I Heart and Clean San Diego, a success! I would especially like to thank, Juan Gonzalez-Gonzalez for being a stellar leader in conducting our ACS group at the Mission Valley site of the clean up. Over in Chula Vista, my group successfully planted more than 50 Chollas cacti, a native plant to the Otay region that is also the preferred home of the endangered cactus wren.
