Roberts to attend senior center barbecue BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Ed Brown Senior Center is holding a barbecue fundraiser at which County Supervisor Dave Roberts will be the guest of honor. The “meet and greet” with Roberts from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8 at the center has multiple purposes, said Marla Cruz, activity and membership director. “Dave is a really, really nice guy and this is an opportunity for residents to meet him.” Not only will locals have an opportunity to chat with their county representative, but it will give Roberts a chance to learn more about what the center in Rancho Bernardo Community Park offers area seniors. “We’re trying to get the city and county to notice us here and get help,” Cruz said, explaining the nonprofit center is on better financial footing than it was a few years ago when difficulties with the city almost resulted in its closure. City rules limit the center’s options when it comes to types of programming and fundraising activities in the city-
CENTENARIAN PLUS — Elizabeth Earle recently celebrated her 103rd birthday during a party with family and friends at her home. The Rancho Bernardo resident for the past 28 years enjoys talking about politics, visiting with friends and playing bridge.

SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS owned building. “It’s still a struggle,” she said. “We’re not funded by anyone, just the business members and (individual) members.
Times are hard and we’re working with the members (on dues). We offer quarterly payments and volunteering (to lower their dues).” While the barbecue is a fundraiser, Cruz said it will not likely net a significant amount, unlike the disco ball the center is organizing for Oct. 5 at the DoubleTree Golf Resort in Rancho Penasquitos. “We’re counting on (that) to be our big fundraiser in the fall.” As for the barbecue, tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Purchase by calling 858-487-9324 or at the center, 18402 W. Bernardo Drive. Anyone in the community is welcome, but space is limited. Cruz said organizers are anticipating around 50 attendees. She said the meal, provided by The Arbors, will include ribs, salads, various side dishes and dessert. Proceeds will go toward the cost to provide center programs in which many of the center’s 500-plus members participate, Cruz said. “We need the financial support,” she said. “This is our senior center in Rancho Bernardo and it would be a shame not to keep it going.”
