Riding On Their Laurels After Successful OB Pier Pancake Breakfast – Town Council Holds Monthly Meeting – Wed., Sept. 25

Definitely resting on their laurels after a totally successful pancake breakfast on the OB Pier last Saturday, the Ocean Beach Town Council is pivoting to hold their public monthly meeting this upcoming Wednesday, September 25. The OBTC meets at the Masonic Lodge, 1711 Sunset Cliffs, at 7:00pm.

Over 1200 guests attended the Town Council annual chow-down on the pier, the 21st annual breakfast – and the Town Council is calling it a “record-breaking turnout,”  which translates to more funds for their Holiday events and the Food and Toy Drive.

Besides the crowd of locals, a number of politicians dropped by (as the OB Rag predicted). There was Jen Campbell – who represents OB on the City Council of course; and Chris Ward – one of her colleagues on the Council; and Todd Gloria – up in the Assembly and running for San Diego mayor.

Event Co-Chairs Cameron Crombie Reid and Stephanie Kane worked their butts off to keep this event together, as did all the OBTC board members and other volunteers.

Public Meeting Guest Speaker

The guest speaker at the OBTC upcoming meeting will be from Groundswell Community Project. Groundswell provides a safe space for individuals overcoming trauma, abuse, addiction and mental health struggles by expanding their “self-love, sea-love and surfsisterhood.” They see themselves as able to empower and unify women in their healing journey through surf therapy and ocean conservation.

Plus, as usual, there will be reports from our local elected officials representatives, SDPD, SD Lifeguards and get various updates from around town.

 

A former lawyer and current grassroots activist, I have been editing the Rag since Patty Jones and I launched it in Oct 2007. Way back during the Dinosaurs in 1970, I founded the original Ocean Beach People’s Rag - OB’s famous underground newspaper -, and then later during the early Eighties, published The Whole Damn Pie Shop, a progressive alternative to the Reader.
