Make new friends and keep the old one is silver and the other is gold.
Where would I would I be without friends. Just when you think humanity has stooped to the lowest common denominator you get a text or a VM out of the blue from a friend with a "Hi", a joke or just something uplifting and you bounce back. Faith restored.
Moving on. Your Chamber has been busy preparing for next Tuesday's 2nd Annual Patriotic BBQ here at
the Chamber offices (5pm-7pm). If you haven't yet put it on your calendar please do as we'd love to have you join us. The sense of national pride could not have been better displayed when the country was locked in to the telecast of the Women's national soccer team repeating as World Cup Champions! Now how about a raise...
In addition to next Tuesday please plan ahead and mark your calendar now for Friday, September 27th, to join us for the Chamber's Annual Golf Tournament. This event helps raise funds for Escondido's PAL program and we couldn't be more proud to help this worthy endeavor. This year were going to be playing at Eagle Crest Golf Club. We also want to thank all our sponsors who've already lined up to support this event and a big thanks goes out to our new Title sponsor Gosch Ford! There are still opportunities to support this event so please contact the Chamber for details.
Thinks are heating up here at the Chamber and our timing is just right with the oncoming summer heat.
Thank you for all the support shown to your Chamber. We are proud to represent Escondido and are focused on making Escondido a better place to live, work and shop!
Sincerely,
CEO

ESCONDIDO LOCAL NEWS & HAPPENINGS

Always Play it Safe Outdoors
Whenever your summer plans include outdoor activities, keep a few basic safety tips in mind to avoid
harm and prevent power outages and fires.
Watch out for overhead electric lines
* Never approach or touch electric lines. A shock could cause severe injury or death.
* Keep yourself, other people and any objects you're touching at least 10 feet clear of overhead
electric lines. Many things can conduct electricity, such as tools, machinery, equipment,
scaffolding, metal ladders, fruit- picking poles, antennas, satellite dishes, pool skimmer handles
and boat masts.
Beware of fallen or broken power lines
* Never approach or touch a fallen power line or a person or vehicle in contact with the line.
* Always assume a downed line is live.
* Report downed power lines immediately by calling 911.
* If an electric line touches your vehicle while you are inside, remain calm and stay inside your vehicle until emergency help arrives. Warn others to stay away and direct them to call SDG&E. Do not touch the vehicle and the ground at the same time.

Wildfires, and the Aftermath
Fifteen of California's 20 most destructive wildfires have occurred since 2000, with ten since 2015. Economic costs to homeowners, utilities, ratepayers, insurers and local governments resulting from the destruction of thousands of homes makes preventing fires and dealing with their costly aftermath top-priority issues in Sacramento.
Proposals discussed include creating a Power Company Safety and Accountability standard requiring safety investments by utility companies, mandating accountability for their wildfire safety record, and protecting ratepayers from sole financial responsibility for utility-caused fires. A new Wildfire Safety Division within the CPUC could be created to oversee and enforce safety compliance by investor-owned utilities to develop wildfire safety performance metrics, improvements to wildfire mitigation plans and other safety initiatives...
