A Message From Our President
Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season, and are ready for 2020! I know in my family, while we had a great time over the school break, we are always ready to get back to our regular routine.
As we look forward to the coming year, be sure to save the date for our 18th Annual Splash for Cash on Sunday, April 26th! This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year and also our biggest pool party of the year, with all proceeds benefiting our aquatics programs.
This month we will be holding our Annual Meeting on Thursday, January 23rd, at 6:00 PM, at our office at the United Way Building, 3699 Murphy Canyon Road in San Diego. You are all invited to attend and learn more about what we have accomplished in the last year and what we are looking forward to for 2020! Light refreshments will be served. This event is a great way to meet our board of directors and learn more about how we operate as an organization.
Wishing you all a very happy January,
Amy Munera
