Connect With Pacifica This Week
|
|
Greetings!
Pacifica’s 60
th Anniversary Celebration is upon us, with numerous celebration events this weekend. Make sure to come by the City’s Open House at the Community Center on Saturday (11/18) between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., where there will be fun activities for children, food, and more than 30 local organizations providing information about their programs and services. And there may be time to still
purchase tickets for the celebration dinner for Saturday night, and the lunch on Sunday, both to be held at Nick’s. See details below for more information.
To help celebrate Pacifica’s history, and with permission from local writer Jean Bartlett, I’d like to share this story on Eileen Kewnig, which was published in the Pacifica Tribune in July, 2014:
see the article here. Eileen’s family has called Pacifica home for more than 100 years!
Although I’ve only been Pacifica City Manager for six weeks, I’ve already come to appreciate and respect the long and deep history in this community, and look forward to learning more this weekend and in the future.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica!
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
