No longer is identity theft about safeguarding your mail, credit cards and bank account.

Bad actors have evolved in their treachery and have moved on to stealing homeownership through title fraud. With a few forged documents, scammers can satisfy the recording requirements with the County Recorder, thereby changing title to the property and effectively stealing ownership rights.

You might be wondering how this type of fraud was possible.

Fraudsters create forged title documents and file them with the Office of the County Recorder. Until recently, many of those crimes went undiscovered until the homeowner had a reason to

LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

/LocalUmbrellaMedia

check on title during a refinance or sale of their home.

The District Attorney’s Office fights this type of fraud with a dedicated team of prosecutors and investigators who work collaboratively with the Assessor/Recorder/ County Clerk’s office to bring fraudsters to justice. However, often the damage to victims has already been done.

The San Diego County Assessor/ Recorder/County Clerk launched a system that will protect homeowners through a Recording Notification Service, free to all members of the public. Consumers may register online to receive an e-mail alert within 48 hours whenever a document is recorded on a registered property. Homeowners can register up to five names and five Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN). This service will allow consumers to get ahead of fraudsters before they’ve had the opportunity to do real damage to a property.

Until recently, there were no systems in place to notify the rightful owner that title had been stolen.

This gave fraudsters valuable time to obtain loans using the property as collateral or when the property is vacant, install renters and even sell the home to an unsuspecting buyer.

Consumers may register online by going to the San Diego County Assessor / Recorder / County Clerk website at: https://arccprn.sandiegocounty.gov/ Here are some tips to avoid title fraud: @LocalUmbrellaMedia

Sign up for the Recording • Notification System • Search the official County index for documents previously recorded under your name and your property.

Use caution with online • signature applications such as Docusign – read the full document to ensure it’s the correct contract and keep a copy of the signed version.

If you have a second home • or vacant home, check it regularly to ensure there are no squatters, unwanted renters or fraudsters attempting to occupy the home – this can be as simple as installing an internet-based webcam at the home.

Ensure your property tax • bill is paid on time and is in your name.

Ensure all your utilities are • paid on time and are in your name.

• Continue to take steps to protect yourself from basic identity theft.

If you believe you were the victim of a title fraud, report the incident to a local police agency or request a San Diego District Attorney Real Estate Fraud Complaint Form at realestatefraudcomplaints@ sdcda.org. For more information, please visit our website at https:// www.sdcda.org/preventing/real-estate-fraud/.

As your District Attorney, I’m committed to increasing communication and accessibility between the DA’s Office and the public. I hope these consumer and public safety tips have been helpful.

IS THIS EPIC ANNUAL EVENT A BEST-KEPT SECRET IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO? The San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival is a national hit, but too many downtowners don’t know what they’re missing in their own backyard

By Ron Donoho San Diego Sun

A COUNTRY FULL OF foodies knows and loves the annual San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival.

The mega-event gets national accolades (and is beloved locally) but do downtown residents know enough about this national treasure right in our bayside backyard?

I’m not so sure. So take heed.

Anchored annually on Embarcadero Marina Park North since 2004 (excluding 2020), this year’s multisite festival runs from November 9-13.

The event started as a two-day affair that immediately attracted 2,000 attendees. The focal point, The Grand Tasting, initially featured 30 restaurants and some 60 wine vendors set up in booths in the scenic bayside park.

It quickly grew. Pre-COVID, the festival ran a 10-day schedule and included dozens of activities held all over the city.

The 2022 version is building back to pre-pandemic Festival goers fill Embarcadero Marina Park North. levels. Co-founder Michelle Metter expects a whopping 60 restaurants and 200 winery, brewery and spirits companies to be on hand for this year’s Grand Tasting. (Don’t miss Metter’s backstory Q&A at the end of this article.)

Including non-food-and-beverage related booths, there will be roughly 300 tents, tables or booths catering toward gourmands.

Preceding the festival is SommCom, a mini-conference for wine enthusiasts.

The Wine & Food Festival kicks off with several foodie “expeditions,” including a chartered bus trek to the Guadalupe Valle in Mexico.

During the fest there are winemaker dinners, mixology classes and appearances in the past by celebrity chefs such as Chad White, Jason McLeod, Javier Plascencia, Drew Deckman, Bernard Guillas and more.

The itinerary includes a Grand Decant, the infamous and spectacular Grand Tasting (November 12 this year), and the Grand Fiesta, which caps the party with a Taco TKO competition.

Just under 6,000 attendees can fit onto Embarcadero Marina Park North for the Grand Tasting.

Total attendance for this year’s five days of programming Chef Bernard Guillas steaks his claim. is expected to be 14,000.

Camp Cohn was a party-within-a-party.

The GOAT of SD Events Having attended at least half a dozen Grand Tastings, I offer this educated opinion: This is the GOAT of Greater San Diego events.

I’m shocked when I gush about the festival to downtown neighbors who haven’t heard that culinary nirvana visits the city once a year.

Wake up and smell the duck carnitas. The prime brisket.

The smoked-beet-and-mushroom tacos.

It’s a bold, three-hour experience (four hours if you buy a VIP ticket) that creates epic memories.

I’ve been there to watch local chef-célèbre Amy diBiase roast mouth-watering cedar-planked salmon; swooned over bites of Raclette cheese fire-melted onto fresh Röckenwagner bread; listened with a tear in my eye while a Central Coast winemaker told a heartrending story about a smallbatch red blend named after his young son, taken by cancer.

You’ll never be able to consume everything The Grand Tasting has to offer.

It’s a casual chic outdoor buffet of culinary cool, with epic activations and live music. It’s full of flavors, aromas, personality and passion. The cuisine is diverse--both domestic and international. It’s an approachable event, but also serious fun for foodies.

Drink it all in. Be prepared to exit the party a little bit tipsy, and counting the days until it returns.

Ticket prices vary. The Grand Tasting is $150. Events can be packaged or tickets can be purchased separately.

Warning: Events do sell out.

The Festival Backstory I sat down with festival co-creator Michelle Metter on Embarcadero Marina Park North to get insight on the event’s backstory...

San Diego Sun: What’s the origin story of the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival?

Michelle Metter: My now-business partner, Ken Loyst, and I were working in the recreational scuba diving industry. He’s a huge wine collector. We’d go to wine-andfood events across the country. He said,“At some point, San Diego is going to be ready for an event like this--these great destination experiences.” When we decided to start a business together, that’s what we did.

What research did you do?

Oh, it was horrible (laughs). We researched in Napa Valley. We had to meet with lots of wineries, and lots of chefs.

But seriously, we did our homework. We met with the city’s people. Hoteliers. The hotel association and the restaurant association. We wanted to make sure San Diego would want this. And that it could evolve into something like what we saw in other cities. The Port has been a phenomenal partner.

Was downtown always the focus of where you would do the festival?

From the beginning, Ken and I wanted to create something that was super iconic for the city. We wanted a waterfront event. Something that was picturesque, that LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

Festival co-founder Michelle Metter.

really told the story of our city. Embarcadero Park was a natural fit for us.

So it was originally designed to attract people from out of town, right?

We started it as a tourism-based event. And, we wanted to create something that locals would be proud of, and would have longevity.

Are downtown residents coming to this festival?

Without pulling ZIP Code numbers, I’d say we are getting a good percentage. We can always do better.

We saturate the downtown market pretty heavily to let people know we’re here. But, there are probably also a lot of downtown residents who have no idea this incredible event is happening within steps of their front doors.

What do you remember about that first year?

It was 2004. It was so vastly different. We were a two-day event and everything was grassroots. I remember a lot of late nights, stuffing packets, literally doing everything by hand.

It was a labor of love. Event planning is stressful. So we wondered, ‘Are they going to like us?’ But we had a really good turnout that first year.

And now the festival gets national recognition?

We were named the number-two Best Wine Festival in the latest USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. We got number-one in 2019. [An editorial board picks its Top 20 list in different categories and readers vote for the the Top 10.] We would love the support to get back to number-one!

The festival is also regularly in the annual BizBash Media List of Southern California’s Top 100 Events (including all categories), and in the top three for Biz Bash’s Food Wine & Hospitality Events.

What are some of your highlight memories from over the years?

There are definitely moments that have touched me in /LocalUmbrellaMedia

@LocalUmbrellaMedia

different way: •“Camp Cohn” was awesome. Cohn Restaurant Group wanted to show the story behind all their different places.

They’re such a staple in the local community. They created an adult food camp for the Grand Tasting. Counselors had whistles. There was a circular fire pit. And a teepee. It was like a place where adults would go away to camp.

• Gail Gand on a catamaran was a highlight. She’s on Food Network and is an amazing, James Beard-award winning chef. We did a birthday brunch for her in the afternoon with amazing chefs out on the water. She was very touched and it was such a San Diego moment.

• One year, the US Grant hotel was celebrating its 100th anniversary. We gave the hotel’s original menu to a handful of chefs, and they redid it in a contemporary way. Katsuya Fukushima participated. So did the late Anthony Sinsay, who we miss dearly.

• There was one survival moment. Locals know how great our weather is year-round. One year, there was a torrential downpour dumping on us in the morning during set-up.

We wondered if attendees or even vendors would show up.

Well, they all did. It was raining when we opened, but 45 minutes later the sun came out. There was a massive roar from more than 5,000 people. And it was a great afternoon.

• A few years back, Monkey Shoulder whisky company did one of my favorite activations at the Grand Tasting.

Right next our bathrooms area, they created their own row of Porta Potties. Only, one Porta Potty door was orange. When you went in that door it led to a speakeasy.

There was a DJ playing and Monkey Shoulder was serving its whisky. There was no marketing on it, but once word got out there was a huge line.

ARTHRITIS PATIENTS LIKELY TO REPORT Improvements Following CBD Therapy Arthritis patients frequently report symptom improvements and reductions in their use of prescription medications following the use of CBD products, according to data published in the Journal of Cannabis Research.

A team of investigators affiliated with the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra University in New York and with the Banner University Medical Center in Arizona surveyed a convenience sample of patients with either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Most of the participants (70 percent) acknowledged having used CBD products for symptomatic relief.

“The overall cohort reported significant reductions in pain after CBD use, with a 44 percent reduction in numerical pain score and 2.58-point reduction [on a zero-toten numerical pain score],” authors reported. “Pairwise comparisons demonstrated that the osteoarthritis group had greater percentage reduction and point reduction compared to RA and other autoimmune arthritis.”

Consistent with other studies, authors reported that many patients either reduced or eliminated their use of medications following their use of CBD products. They acknowledged, “Most respondents using CBD for joint pain reported a reduction or cessation of other medications due to CBD use (60.5 percent), including a reduction in anti-inflammatories (31.1 percent), discontinuation of anti-inflammatories (17.8 percent), reduction in acetaminophen (18.2 percent), discontinuation of acetaminophen (17.8 percent), reduction in opioids (8.6 percent), and discontinuation of opioids (18.9 percent).”

Most participants taking CBD products acknowledged experiencing either mild or no adverse effects.

Authors concluded: “In terms of the perceived effects of CBD on pain, physical function, and sleep quality, many patients using CBD reported symptomatic improvements. … These findings suggest that CBD could be an alternative to opioids for the treatment of arthritic pain. … Clinicians and patients should be aware of the various alternative therapeutic options available to treat their symptoms of arthritis, especially in light of the increased accessibility to cannabidiol products.”

The administration of a topical form of CBD has been previously shown to be effective in patients with thumb basal joint arthritis, according to placebo-controlled LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

WONDERFRONT MUSIC FESTIVAL WANTS TO BE SAN DIEGO’S NEXT STREET SCENE Ernie Hahn hopes the COVID-paused festival can regain steam to rise up and become an iconic downtown event

By Ron Donoho San Diego Sun

MUSICAL ENTREPRENEUR Ernie Hahn is eager to reconnect the public with pre-COVID leisure pursuits.

We’re strolling across downtown San Diego’s Embarcadero Marina Park North. Joggers glide past us on a quiet morning that’s pleasantly cooled by a fading marine layer. A barking dog on a leash punctuates the midweek reverie.

This grassy expanse between the San Diego Bay and the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina holds faint echoes. Wa-a-ay back in November 2019, this spot near Seaport Village is where the Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival sprang to life.

Ernie Hahn in Seaport Village.

Seven bayfront stages. More than 100 bands. Seemingly a lifetime ago, the area was transformed into a pulsating cornucopia of human celebration, soundtracked by an eclectic collection of musical genres.

An era of masked silence ensued. Nobody could have predicted a pandemic would pause the festival’s sophomore effort for three years.

Tickets are now on sale for the comeback, scheduled for November 18-20, 2022. Headliners are Gwen Stefani, Zac Brown Band and Kings of Leon. There’ll be plenty of up-and-coming bands, too.

Hahn and I are meeting on the downtown festival site to talk about the viability of an urban setting for a music festival. And, whether Wonderfront could reason- A scene from the 2019 Wonderfront Festival. ably aspire to be a successor to the late, great downtown music festival known as Street Scene. last three decades heading the San Diego Sports Arena (currently named Pechanga Arena).

A relations to the festival effort—with longstanding ties decade ago, he and co-founder Paul Thornton looked to experts in lighting, sound, security and a long list of all over San Diego when they started considering sites specialties that go into event production. for a music festival.

“Ernie is a people person,” says Thornton, who is also “We looked at Coronado, North Island and the president of TAG Presents. “He’s good at the networkbeaches,” Hahn says. “We talked about Camp Pendleing. Me, I grind it out at the computer, doing the marton and Fiesta Island. We talked about Del Mar Fairketing and the talent buying. We’re a good team.” grounds—before KAABOO came into town.”

Outwardly, Hahn is solely focused on the viability and Forging Ahead After coronavirus put the kibosh on the 2020 festival, destiny of Wonderfront.

Hahn hopes San Diegans will connect that the bus The organizers lost all their contiguous downtown and the festival are a community-driven effort. Local blocks. All those blocks became condos.”

Still, he says the “secret sauce” was in finding a way to notables invested in the Wonderfront Festival include connect to downtown. The solution: a partnership with Padres Hall-of-Famer Trevor Hoffman, skateboarding icon Tony Hawk and surfing legend Rob Machado. the Port of San Diego and a festival site that spans the “When Wonderbus does positive things in the comnorthwestern bayfront. munity, I want people to know that the co-founders of San Diego Roots the bus, and this festival, live in San Diego 365 days a Hahn is a recognizable face in San Diego.

way Pier. That site will be free to the public and feature local bands.

The nearby Rady Shell at Jacobs Park (on Embarcadero Marina Park South) will not be utilized for Wonderfront.

Hahn says plans call for nearby Ruocco Park to be activated with a local partner as a “Taste of San Diego” food-and-beverage area.

Several aspects of Wonderfront are unique to the music festival experience, including floating venues, affiliated after-parties and in-and-out privileges afforded to all ticket-buyers.

• Floating venues. Hahn says the utilization of Flagship Cruises & Events boats to do concerts on the bay was wildly popular in 2019. Plans for this year are still being fine-tined, but expect more access to “booze-andgroove” cruises.

• After parties. The festival shuts down at 10 p.m. all three nights. Night cruises on the bay are planned, as well as after-party concerts at venues like The Casbah and Music Box. • In-and-out privileges. Ticket holders are allowed unlimited in-and-out access to the festival site. Hahn raves about this concept.

Something Special for San Diego Hahn doesn’t want concertgoers focused on hearing Gwen Stefani close the festival at night to miss the newer bands that are scheduled earlier in the day.

“If you want to put in 8 to 10 hours at our festival you could listen for two hours and then take a break,” Hahn says. “Go out and take a nap. Or discover a new downtown restaurant. Then come back. As many times as you like.”

He believes this is a key facet that makes the downtown site ideal.

“If you live downtown, what could be better?” Hahn asks. “There’s a festival a short walk from your house. At the end of the night, you walk home. It’s ideal. If you’re from North County or out of town, the hotels are right here. It’s simple. It’s not like we’re out in the middle of a desert.”

Mostly, Hahn would like San Diegans to adopt Wonderfront as a local institution. Like Street Scene.

“I want people to look at this festival the way they look at the Padres, or how they used to look at the Chargers,” he says. “This is their festival. It’s about music and discovering new bands, but it’s about San Diego first.”

SYCUAN PARTNERS WITH SD LOYAL TO CREATE FAN FUN ZONE.

By Vince Meehan

Sycuan Casino Resort has partnered with San Diego Loyal Soccer Club to create a fun and exclusive fan experience this season at USD Torero Stadium. The Sycuan Endline Suites are located on field level actually on the grass in the area behind the east goal.

This is also directly below “The Local” which is a group of hard-core Loyal fans who add excitement to the games by singing, chanting and banging on drums while waving banners throughout the entire game. Fans in the Endline Suites can get within feet of the players as they set up crucial corner kicks and shots on goal. The experience is like no other because you are basically on the field although protected behind the endline wall. The effect is spectacular with the fans having the feeling of being right in the game. Suite ticket holders will also enjoy food and beverage as part of the package as well as premium parking.

The experience is perfect for birthday parties, church groups and corporate team building events.

Nick Maranda is the Vice President of Partnerships at San Diego Loyal Soccer Club and is extremely pleased at how popular the Sycuan Endline Suites have become. “You’re sitting behind the goal and the ball is literally f lying past you!” gushed Maranda. “There’s nothing between you and the players that are five feet away making a corner kick. We wanted a space where we can bring companies, community groups, reunions or you name it! So if you’ve go 50 friends, buddies, colleagues or co-workers this is for you.”

The fun zone is basically the entire area behind the goal and while seats are provided, there is plenty of room to roam to get up close views of the action on the field.

The area was typically cordoned off by security during the games, but Maranda saw an opportunity to create the ultimate fan zone for San Diego’s new soccer team. He also saw it as a great way to celebrate people being together again after two years of restrictions.

“We wanted a space where people can come together, and if you think about the last two years, a lot of those outings as companies or teams just were not able to happen. We knew we wanted to create a space where people could celebrate getting back together. And it’s great because it is literally an open space on grass where we set up seats, but what ends up happening is that the space is really contusive to mixing and mingling. You can grab a beer and talk to your buddy in accounting that you haven’t seen in two years in person.”

The Loyal games take place at Torero Stadium at USD in Linda Vista, which is a very family friendly arena with plenty of safe parking. The layout is very open and all the seats have fantastic sightlines to the action. There is plenty of food and drink and even cans of USD’s own brand of IPA beer available. The SD Loyal debuted as San Diego’s professional soccer team in 2019 and competes in The USL Championship, the fastest-growing professional soccer league in the world. The club is led by soccer legends such as Chairman Andrew Vassiliadis who is the youngest principal owner in The USL Championship, and Landon Donovan, one of the most decorated soccer players in the U.S. who leads the technical side as both EVP and Team Manager. Also, veteran soccer executive Ricardo Campos is serving as the club’s president.

“We are thrilled to team up with a worldclass organization and local institution in Sycuan Casino Resort,” Campos said. “Sycuan has long been a staple of the San Diego community and we look forward to providing a unique and memorable matchday experience for our fans.”

The Sycuan Endline Suites experience is like no other.

SD Loyal player Elijah Martin says hello to the fans.

The Sycuan Endline Suites get you right down in the action.

Rob Cinelli is the General Manager at Sycuan Casino Resort and is excited to be a part of the new partnership with SD Loyal.

“For us, we support anything San Diego, and knowing how hard San Diego has been working to get a professional soccer team here, it was a no-brainer for us in wanting to get involved with The Loyal.” Cinelli stated.

“With Landon and his ties to San Diego and how important he’s been to soccer in the U.S and in general, we felt this was a good fit.

Sycuan likes to support the community and we feel The Loyal is a big part of the community now.”

Cinelli says that Sycuan has made it a priority to support San Diego at any chance and especially when it comes to sports. They have enjoyed a relationship with the San Diego Padres for 25 years and recently hooked up with SDSU and their new Snapdragon Stadium with a similar partnership involving the Sycuan Piers VIP lounge above the endzone.

Cinelli is a huge soccer fan and sees a lot of growing excitement in San Diego for the SD Loyal team. “We’ve got a lot of interest from our guests and our tribal members who want to go see The Loyal games. It’s pretty cool to see the amount of interest once we decided to partner with them.”

The social media age has given birth to a /LocalUmbrellaMedia

@LocalUmbrellaMedia

new digital engagement feature where fans can engage interactively to enhance the Endline Suites experience. This results in a slew of postings which Cinelli refers to as “user generated content”, a marketing term for when fans generate their own promotional pieces which benefits both Sycuan and SD Loyal. It’s the 21st century version of word of mouth advertising which is has always been worth its weight in gold due to it’s organic nature. Fans can also log in to enter a chance to win $25,000 at half-time in the Sycuan half-time challenge if they kick a ball from 22 yards out and hit a 19 inch target placed in the goal. This creates another level of excitement, which adds to the thrill of the event.

Fans can also enter a contest to predict who will score the first goal and in which minute.

Cinelli views the new partnership as a win/ win for both sides, as well as the fans themselves who now have a new and exciting option to view the games. He says Sycaun was instrumental in sitting down with SD Loyal and brainstorming to come up with the unique endline experience. “The team at Sycuan are great people to work with, great community partners, they are all about growing and building San Diego. And every time a team or stadium has come to town, they’ve shown that they want to be supportive of it.

As a club and sports team in San Diego, we’re very lucky to have Sycuan in our community!”

Group outings for the Sycuan Endline Suites can be booked by calling SD Loyal Ticket representatives at (858) 465-GOAL or by emailing tickets@sdloyal.com. For more information visit sdloyal.com/sycuansuites.

FOSTER FAMILY RECOGNIZED FOR OUTSTANDING COMMITMENT When Angels resource parents Chelsea and Matt needed a crib for an infant they were fostering, they posted a note on a Facebook page for foster parents. Within an hour, they had their pick of 10 different cribs from people who wanted to donate. Then there were people from their church and the nonprofit organization Restoration 225 who organized meal trains and offered to babysit. Their friends and family could not have been more encouraging and supportive.

Angels Foster Family Network was also a great source of support for the family. After the extensive training and approval process, Chelsea and Matt were pleased to learn that every resource family has its own Clinical Case Manager.

“Our CCM and the rest of the Angels staff have been incredibly supportive to our family. Having someone check in with us weekly has been really helpful. I couldn’t imagine continuing our journey as a foster family without the support we receive from Angels,” Matt says.

Chelsea and Matt began talking about fostering when they started dating 18 years ago. They met and fell in love while working at the Hotel Del Coronado as college students on summer break. When they talked about a future together, they discovered that although their ideal family size was quite different – she wanted six children; he wasn’t sure he wanted any – they were both LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

committed to providing a safe, loving home for children whose parents needed time to get their lives on track. They agreed that someday they would foster.

Today, the couple has one biological child, Daniel, who is five years old. And they adopted Camila, one of the three children who they cared for over their four years of fostering with Angels. Adopting a child was not part of Chelsea and Matt’s original plan. The couple went into fostering the way all Angels families do -- with the clear understanding that they are providing temporary care and supporting family reunification. Sometimes, however, that is not possible, and Angels resource families are able to provide “forever homes” for infants and toddlers.

“Angels was very honest about the goal of fostering,” says Chelsea. “You are not going to be successful if you go in thinking about fostering as a way to grow your family. You have to understand that these children are not yours and that they already have families who love them.” Matt adds, “If you go in trying to fill a need for yourself because something is missing, there’s potential for greater pain and heartache.”

Many Angels families say that although fostering is hard work, they often get unexpected rewards. This has been the case for Chelsea and Matt. In addition to the outpouring of support they received from their family, church, and An/LocalUmbrellaMedia

gels, Chelsea and Matt got a whole new branch of their family tree. “We have a close relationship with Camila’s family and host birthdays and holidays with her siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandma,” Chelsea says. “This is what’s best for Camila and we really love her family. We consider them our family too.”

After adopting Camila, Chelsea and Matt were offered another placement -- a baby boy who was in their care almost a year before successfully reunifying with his parents last spring. “Seeing baby Guy reunify with his parents and being able to hand him back to his mom after a year in foster care was one of the most rewarding and fulfilling things we’ve done as a family,” says Chelsea.

Their current placement has been with them for a couple months and is also on the path to reunification. “Fostering is a way we can share the love we have received with children and their families,” says Matt. “It is our privilege to support families through a difficult time. We have seen firsthand the hard work and dedication it takes for parents to reunify with their children, and it’s an honor for us to be a small part of their story.

We know it wouldn’t be possible without the support from so many people who also have a heart for children and families.”

WHAT’S NEW: GASLAMP + LAMPLIGHTER = GASLAMPLIGHTER Iconic uptown bar/restaurant ownership moves into OG downtown location in San Diego, headlining a roundup of new

urban projects

By Ron Donoho San Diego Sun

BAR, RESTAURANT AND RETAIL operations have gone on and off the downtown map for decades. That revolving-door aspect has amplified over the past five years and became far too one-way during the pandemic.

There’s still an ugly abundance of empty storefronts on Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter, our urban entertainment district’s main drag.

However, there are glimmers of light. Hope springs eternal. Here’s a look at a handful of downtown spots where entrepreneurs are ready to try, try again.

The Gaslamplighter New management is in place at Side Bar and Ciro’s Pizzeria at the corner of Market Street and Sixth Avenue. Previously owned by RMD Group, both places were stalwarts of the entertainment district for about 15 years.

Side Bar reinvented itself several times over its run. It was the first downtown San Diego club to offer bottle service. Ciro’s is where you went to coat your stomach after a late night of bottle service.

Both places had high street cred; happily, the reputation of the new owner precedes itself in an encouraging way.

Frankie Sciuto, a fourth-generation owner of The Lamplighter (a legendary Mission Hills booze-and-karaoke bar), bought Side Bar in 2021 and just announced plans for a total revamp of Ciro’s.

Sciuto’s NVRLFT Hospitality is working with GTC Design Studios to turn the pizzeria into an “elevated and contemporary version” of Lamplighter.

The new, brilliant name: Gaslamplighter.

The redesign will mimic an extravagant speakeasy. And yes, there will be a stage lighted for karaLOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

oke and other live performances.

Johnny WAHOO! Golf Bar RMD Group (which still operates the downtown dual-concept Huntress/Lumi steakhouse-and-sushi bar) is focusing its attention on the new, 7,000-squarefoot Johnny WAHOO! Golf Bar. It goes into the location previously occupied by Volcano Rabbit in the Gaslamp. The new place will house two Full Swing golf simulators, allowing guests to virtually play 18 holes at renown courses like Pebble Beach. The bar serves food from an RMD Group menu that includes deviled eggs and bison meatballs. With 20 TVs, the new bar aims to be an NFL football watching hub.

Zama The 4,000-square-foot restaurant space at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Island Avenue in the Gaslamp has turned over several times in recent years. Most recently it was the Asian-fusion Monkey King. Now it’s slated to be Zama, billed as an exotic, jungle-themed restaurant and nightlife space offering Latin Ameri/LocalUmbrellaMedia

can cuisine. Zama is being designed by vaunted Tucker Sadler Architects (the visionaries behind Portside Pier).

Carruth Cellars Carruth Cellars made its return to Little Italy with a grand opening party in early September in a new location on the ground floor of Carte Hotel. (Recall that Carruth had departed its Wine Garden location on Kettner Street earlier in the year and moved to a spot in Liberty Station.) The Carte Hotel location is on the property’s first floor and is open weekdays 3to 9 p.m. and weekends from noon to 10 p.m.

Hey Sugar!

Southern-styled bakery Hey Sugar! is open for business in the East Village and gearing up for a September 17 grand opening. The founder and head baker is Chan Buie, a 20-year Navy veteran. Located in the Park 12 apartment high-rise near Petco Park, the store servers up freshly baked cobblers, cheesecakes, oversized cookies and much more.

ROBERT BROOKE ELDRIDGE – AMERICAN HERO Text and photos by Vince Meehan

Robert Brooke Eldridge is one of the last of a rare breed of American heroes – a man’s man – no nonsense, no BS, and no apologies. This vet knows the value of good hard honest work, and the integrity of keeping one’s word. In the Army, he and his company lived by the motto: “No man left behind”, and he still holds that edict close to his heart. Eldridge is the owner of San Diego Hauling Hunks; a company of five team members who haul away unwanted clutter from yards, garages and sheds. And true to his Army motto, he still looks after his veteran colleagues by offering his services for free to those who have become overwhelmed by clutter.

“What we do as a service to the community is, if any of my friends have a retired military member who’s having problems – yard is filthy or dirty or whatever – they call me and we come out with the hunks, and we’ll clean up the yard for him no charge,” Eldridge stated with conviction. “We make sure that they are taken care of!”

Eldridge also offers his services at no charge to women in abusive relationships who are trying to move away from their situation. And part of his personality is that he pulls no punches when it comes to his convictions. “For abused women – I have to be notified – and I only have technically one rule: if you are an abused woman and need to move into another location, then we will move you for free. But we will not move one shoe of the worthless S.O.B. you are running from. Not one shirt, tie or pants or anything that belongs to him!”

Eldridge started San Diego Hauling Hunks 17 years ago, and has been serving the community ever since. He is extremely proud to have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, which has to be maintained year by year. “In order to maintain an A+, you obviously have no negative comments, everything for us has been wonderful and that’s what you have to do. You have to keep your friends and clients happy – I mean, if you do a good job, you’ve picked up a pile of junk from their driveway, what’s to be mad about?”

His company is not a licensed mover, but instead a hauling company, and that puts some legal restrictions on what type of work he can perform. But he can also perform demolition, which is another service that he offers. “We can’t build anything, but we can destroy just about everything!” Eldridge added with a laugh. His laugh is a huge part of his salty dog personality, and every now and then he says a word that only East Coast Jersey types use. Eldridge specializes in estate style deals where a property is being sold, but the heirs cannot make it out to California and have to have it managed remotely. In that case, he needs to work closely with realtors and he says he has around 60 that call him regularly. And if the parent was a hoarder – as is the case quite often – then the job can be quite extreme. But Eldridge always comes through and gets the job done quickly which is key to a successful sale of the property.

Eldridge is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with over one thousand combat missions under his belt. He flew in a cobra attack helicopter and was shot down three times in his year tour of duty in Vietnam. “My men would come in and get me, meaning my company. We never left a man down, we may have had to unfortunately extract bodies, but we never left a body, we never left a man in my company for the entire year I was there. That was our motto – no one is left behind. And it’s extremely difficult to make sure we get them, but the answer is we’re going to get you, we’re coming for you, and we will get you out. I can prove it… three times they got me out!”

This credo is embedded in his DNA now, and it still manifests itself in the way he not only treats his fellow vets, but his community as well.

And there is a bit of a renegade spirit still in LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

Robert Brooke Eldridge relaxes at his home with his art pieces.

One of Eldridges biggest paintings is this original of Chargers runningback LaDainian Tomlinson running against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a run for the Super Bowl. The painting is signed by LT, as well as artist Gene Locklear who also played for the San Diego Padres.

Eldridge poses in front of his likeness.

Eldridge that came from just trying to survive in combat. They had to bend the rules a bit to keep their promise, but it instilled a confidence that your men had your back and that is still how he lives life.

“Nowadays, things seem to be different although I think the military mind is still the same. We didn’t ask higher ups for permission, we’d rather do it and have them chew our ass out rather than call them and have them say you can’t do it. Now, you have to disobey orders and everything along that line, so we just would do it and we’d let everybody know what happened after the fact. There’s nothing good about combat, combat is brutal and my heart goes out to the Ukrainians right now because that is their home. Their home is being destroyed, and their country is being destroyed.”

Eldridge bought a home on a hill in the East County, which overlooks the backcountry. He says he bought the home specifically for that view. The home is very modern, but with a rustic motif of treated wood and stone. And the house is absolutely filled with art – fine art!

Most of this art is framed oil paintings and many have the bold textured brush strokes that leave no doubt to the authenticity. The themes are classic, Italian Amalfi coast villas mix with impressionistic and figure studies. Leroy Neiman sports paintings share the room with Remington western sculptures and southwestern figurines. Clearly Eldridge has a fine taste in art although he doesn’t seem to know how refined his taste is. The paintings explode with color and texture and the formatting is always stellar. And every genre is represented with masterpieces.

Eldridge simply knows what he likes, and he likes fine art.

“I started collecting over 50 years ago, and I’m not sure what caused it, I guess I sawr a painting that I liked, and today here I am with over 350 paintings! And they are all well known artists like Leroy Neiman and Gene Locklear!” /LocalUmbrellaMedia

@LocalUmbrellaMedia

A framed and signed Celtics jersey from Bill Walton.

Eldridge is also a sports buff and has a collection of sports collectables as well. Many are art pieces and some are a combination like the collection of signed footballs featuring painted likenesses of the signee. He also has a framed Celtics jersey of Bill Walton who is a good friend of his. This jersey is signed as well, which increases the value of the piece. Eldridge has an ability to obtain signatures from both artists and players as well, which makes his collection head and shoulders above most. He even has a football signed by 10 hall of fame football players which given the fact that most signed footballs from hall of famers go for $3000, makes this ball worth maybe $30,000. But Eldridge has not amassed these collectables for money; instead it is a passion that he surrounds himself with out of pure joy. It’s a trait that illustrates his passion for life that puts him head and shoulders above the rest.

And if that wasn’t enough, Eldridge is a Producer, Director and Actor with credits in motion pictures. He even has a series called “Shooters” which is actually a comedy which makes fun of the film making scene. And that is typical of Eldridge, while he is one-hundred percent serious when it comes to helping his friends, he isn’t too serious to poke fun at himself from time to time.

The Moonjacks / Bad Guy Stuff

OCTOBER 2022

BY BART MENDOZA © MUSICSCENESD // MUSICSCENESD.COM

18

Clovis based trio, The Moonjacks, featuring Gabriel Torres, Christian “Dank” Miller, and Christian Joel Canales, recently released their latest album via Pacific Records, Bad Guy Stuff.

Now one of the label’s most successful bands, it’s a fast rise for a band that self-released their first album in 2019.

“I sent some demos around when I was 19-20 years old,” Torres recalled.

“Brian (Witkin), the CEO of Pacific Records, liked the tunes but told us he wasn’t interested in signing us. So naturally I kept harassing him and he relented. We’ve been working with him for a couple years now and I’ve gotta say we’re pretty happy with how things have progressed.”

Their label considers them garage punk, though Torres casts a slightly wider palette. “Aesthetically I would describe it like a five-year-old with a bucket of rainbow paint,” said Torres.

“Messy, mischievous, and colorful.

Sonically we get “Pop Punk” “Surf Rock” and “Garage Rock” comparisons a lot. There’s often a sunny optimism to our songs juxtaposed with some more poignant tones in the lyrical content.

It’s funny because I’m a pretty moody, brooding guy and more often than not, I’m outside the party having a cigarette, rather than I am chatting people up.

My bandmates are far more sociable than I am, I think. But I’d like to be, I’d bet good money that’s why it sounds the way it does.”

Who does he consider to be musical influences? “Everything and anything,” Torres said. “I’m like a glutton at a buffet when it comes to music, I wanna consume it all. There is the obvious ones though, like The Beatles, Elvis, Chuck Berry. All the greats.

My peers as well, everybody in the California Indie Circuit. Blues is an especially heavy influence on my guitar playing. I also have a fondness for LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

anything recorded prior to 1965. The Mills Brothers have a special place in my heart, timeless art.” His inspiration as guitarist is closer to home.

“As far as my biggest inspiration for guitar playing it has gotta be my grandfather. He’s like a father to me.

He bought me my first guitar and he continues to be my biggest supporter to this day. He’s a music lover through and through, always has been. He also does a bit of playing himself.”

Torres notes music isn’t the easiest way to make a living. “Yeah the music business is definitely tough, you gotta have thick skin or you aren’t gonna last,” he said. “Clubs try to cheat you out of the little money you do make, the road can be harsh and people who dislike you get jealous when they see your band starting to do bigger things. As a semi public figure you face all kinds of scrutiny. Dissenters wanna see you fall so they make up harmful rumors to try and derail your career. We see it happen to our peers constantly and we’ve been victims of it ourselves. The important thing is to hold your head high and deal with stuff like that with integrity.

At the end of the day as long as you’re living your life truthfully and doing

@LocalUmbrellaMedia

your best to treat others with respect you’re gonna be alright. I’m proud to say that I surround myself with some of the kindest and most talented people I’ve ever met and I’m eternally grateful for that. They’re what motivates me.”

He’s proud of the band’s latest release.

“Well, it’s out now and every time you stream it we make .00003 of a cent, so go stream it.,” he joked. “In all seriousness though It’s our first studio album and I worked on it for the better part of a year. I was a teenager when I wrote some of the songs and I’m excited to see where this record takes us. The folks over at Spotify liked our lead single “Sk8 Hi” enough to feature it on two major editorial playlists “New Music Friday” and “Surf Rock Sunshine.”

Pacific is also in the process of securing syncs and television placements for the new tracks so right now all we are doing is crossing our fingers and hoping our hard work pays off. It seems to be pretty well received by our fans though and that makes me very happy!”

The Moonjacks will be promoting Bad Guy Stuff on the road through the new year before they start the process all over again. “We’ve got a bit more touring to do then its home for the holidays,” Torres said. “We don’t really get to spend as much as time we like relaxing with our family or even playing music for fun anymore. We’re always doing stuff on the computer, making our merch, things like that. So, it’s gonna be nice to have a little break.”

The emphasis is on “little”. “Then we do some more recording and gear up to get back on the road next year, it’s like a merry go round,” he mused. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4AqRJ5gzqsHLsIIfBZWT16

Beatles Youth Tribute Band / Fab Four Fun For Kids!

Sandi Shaner is well known around San Diego as a singer with several popular bands including Get Groovin (Pure Dance Music) and Groove is in the Heart (90s and beyond). Now she has added music educator to her resume, with a special Beatles Youth Tribute Band Program, giving kids aged 7 – 16, the opportunity to learn to play Beatles songs and even perform them live.

“Back in 2016 we launched this program at Lindbergh Schweitzer Elementary (now Clairemont Canyons) school,” said Shaner. “It was with the intention of creating music education opportunities in schools, that allow for those with disabilities to participate with the mainstream population. This is known as “inclusion practices.”

My daughter, Carly, has autism and intellectual disability.

She is also nonverbal. However, as I taught her music, she started singing the notes correctly. If I went out of pitch, she would cry.” Soon after this discovery, Shaner wrote a series of songs that would help get Carly through her daily schedule. “For example, we have a cereal song, a potty song, a get dressed song, a bye-bye song, etc. She began to understand me where before she would just stare into space. After three months of rehearsals in the Beatles Tribute program, she was singing along to the notes of songs like, “Help” and “Hey Jude.” Other children who were also either completely nonverbal or partially, were singing along to the songs of the Beatles. This inspired me to continue with the efforts up until just before the pandemic.”

Currently the classes are located in Clairemont with a nine person staff. Space is rented from the San Diego Unified School District. There are plans to add a second location soon. “We can have 20 mainstream kids and five with disabilities,” Shaner said.

What level of musicianship is needed to be part of this program? “To assess for musical ability we will use the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Musical Ability (MBEMA),” Shaner said. “This test will determine their music listening and singing ability. It will let us understand the child’s baseline and build their curriculum from there. We want to know if they are to be a beginner or intermediate performer. Those who are intermediate and have experience playing an instrument or singing will be given solo roles. Those who are beginners will focus on group performances while we build their skills. The children with disabilities will be assessed to match them with a modified instrument so that they can learn with the group. For example, we can program a keyboard to light up so they can play

along. Also, by using a special capo, like the Chord Buddy, they can play a full chord on the guitar with just one finger while strumming.”

Why did she choose the Beatles as the basis for this program? “I chose the Beatles because they have a very large catalog, many of their songs have memorable sing along hooks, and they are the best

rock band to learn from,” Shaner said good naturedly. “They did it all naturally without technology.

Rhythm, melody, and harmony. I saw that Carly loved the Beatles every time I played them, so I took a chance that other disabled children would respond the same way… and they did. For the first season, we will stick to the Fab Four. As children stay in the program year after year, we will expand their knowledge.”

She notes that part of the fun for students will be the opportunity to play live. “We are unique in the way that we teach them how to be live performing musicians,” Shaner said. “We are booked for two shows at the Clairemont Town Square, and will submit for the San Diego County Fair, street fairs around San Diego County, and concerts at their schools.”

When all is said and done, what is Shaner’s favorite Beatles song? “If I had to narrow it down, I would say “In My Life,” “Let It Be” and “Help,” she said. “It might be easier to ask me what my top 10 are!”

You can catch Shaner with Groove is in the Heart at: October 29 / Navajo Live Halloween Bash, November 5 / 710 Club. Meanwhile you can help Shaner celebrate her birthday on October 21 at the Full Circle Saloon, where she will perform with Get Groovin. www.carlyscause.com/music-program

The Babys / Head First with David Yuter North County based keyboardist David Yuter is now performing with 1970’s rock hitmakers, The Babys. He first played with the band, which still includes original guitarist Wally Stocker and drummer Tony Brock, at a Kansas City date in June and the shows have been getting exponentially bigger. “The next date I did was on August 27 up at Helwig Winery, with Orleans and Peter Beckett of Player (and The Thoughts! -ed). In mid-October I am flying to St. Louis, MO to play my first arena show with them on a bill with Orleans and Firefall.”

While The Babys will be a priority for Yuter, he remains busy with a multitude of projects. “I’m currently involved in about five local music projects, including Electric Dream Machine, Jazmine Rogers Band, Grand Sonic Theory, Citizens Modal and Ryan Hiller,” he said. “I also play a variety of wedding events and corporate gigs, while also running the sound and production aspects for agencies such as Lucky Devils, Republic Of Music and Acoustic Spot. And to top it all off I run my own agency, David Yuter Music, where provide some of the highest quality musicians and experiences for specialized events. Right now I’m playing about 150 shows a year and the list continues to grow.”

How did Yuter get The Baby’s gig? “I’ve

been working professionally in the industry for about twelve years and started my career playing the Ultimate Jam Nights at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood,” he explained.

“While playing there I collaborated with Frank Simes (Music Director of The Who) amongst many other legendary players. At these shows I shared the house keyboard position with Walter Ino, who was out on tour with The Babys and Survivor at the time.

We stayed in close contact over the years and when he needed a sub for The Babys, I was the first person he contacted. From there I’ve gotten to play a few really big shows with them and have several more on the books for this upcoming year.”

What’s it like to be on stage with such acclaimed players? “There are moments where I step out of my body and think of how

/LocalUmbrellaMedia

amazing it is to share a stage with legends such as Tony Brock and Wally Stocker, who both were also part of Rod Stewart’s band for years. Once I come back down I dive deep into the piano parts and recreate the songs as they were first recorded. I get to play the original keyboard parts written by Jonathan Cain of Journey, which is probably one of the coolest aspects for me. I am always grateful and remind myself that I belong in these circles. Growing up with the dream of being a rock star and now getting to share the stage with men I’ve admired for so long and talk about their legendary careers over dinner is incredibly humbling.”

Does Yuter have a favorite Babys song?

“For me it’s a toss-up between “Every Time I Think Of You” and “Isn’t It Time.” Those are two of their biggest hits and we really @LocalUmbrellaMedia

jam both of them at the end. It’s super fun to play live and the band really gets into it.”

What does he enjoy most about performing with the band? “The opportunity I get to play beautiful piano songs for a large audience. A lot of the current work I do locally uses electronic piano sounds and synthesizers. The Baby’s is mostly just piano, Wurlitzer and B3 sounds and for me playing with these vintage sounds absolutely lights me up.”

Amongst a myriad of projects, Yuter is especially happy to be playing with musical heroes. “The Babys are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met working in the industry,” he said. “Even though it was only my first gig with them a couple months ago, they’ve welcomed me with open arms and made me feel a part of the band right away.”

San Diego Covers The Beatles / Ten Fun Tracks!

Dozens of San Diego based artists have released songs penned by The Beatles, hundreds have performed their songs live, a testament to how great a set of songwriters the band contained. Case in point: On October 8, acclaimed guitarist Fred Benedetti will perform a special show at Dizzy’s in celebration of John Lennon’s Birthday, joined by vocalists Regina Moomjean & Julia Picone, multi-instrumentalist/bassist Jeff Pekarek and percussionist James Morton. Notably, Benedetti, alongside guitarist Peter Pupping, released an album’s worth of Beatles covers between 1997 and 2007, all well worth a listen. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to San Diego covering The Beatles. Here are ten fun covers of Fab Four related songs released over the past six decades. www.dizzysjazz.com • 2022/ The Greyboy All-Stars – “Taxman” An organ and funk driven instrumental groover • 2022 / Jeff Berkley & Shawn Rohlf – “Veronica” It’s an arrangement close to the original, but it kicks, with great harmonies • 2014 / Alison Adams Tucker – “Here Comes The Sun” A sunny jazz recasting of the song • 2013 / Atom Orr (Christopher Hoffee) – “Tomorrow Never Knows” A new palette of sounds / colors on this iconic song from Revolver • 2008 / Peter Sprague – “She’s Leaving Home” Sprague has recorded several Beatles songs, his solo arrangement on this one is particularly

good • 2006 / AJ Croce – “Maybe I’m Amazed” A perfect match of song and performer • 2003 / Fred Benedetti & Peter Pupping –

“When I’m 64” The duo turns in a wonderful Chet Atkins styled fingerpicking arrangement • 1976 / Frankie Laine – “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” The 1950’s era hitmaking crooner contributed this song to the soundtrack of the film, All This and World War III • 1970 / Raquel Welch & Bob Hope – “Rocky Raccoon” A kitsch classic from an eponymous CBS-TV special, set in a western town. It’s on YouTube!

BUSINESS NETWORKING THAT SPECIALIZES IN SPECIALISTS of bed. So we kept the group together and available, to be a valuable resource for each other.”

Though online meetings were an interesting alternative, Aaron admitted, it was great to return to in-person networking. “As soon as we got back together—and everyone was chomping at the bit to do that—we were having six-toeight new guests at each weekly meeting, and quickly adding new members.”

By LinDee Rochelle

As the year wears on, community citizens and leaders alike, are scurrying around getting back to business.

For companies, it means securing other professionals for their roofing, contracting, carpet cleaning, marketing experts and computer techs, only to find them too busy to take on new projects.

When you do find someone who agrees to help you out, it’s depressing to learn the hard way, they weren’t up to the task, and your important project cost you more time and money than necessary. Worse, you’re kicking yourself for not vetting the so-called specialist you chose to perform the work.

The Legacy that is LeTip of La Jolla

It’s frustrating, but let me give you a tip ...

LeTip of La Jolla to the rescue Through meeting the needs of its business members, LeTip is busily spreading the word in the area, that their members are pros and can be trusted in all aspects of their specialty.

Many community organizations start with the citizenry, their effects float upwards to the businesses. LeTip takes the top-down approach, so the excellence comes from the top of local industry and wends its way to the people those companies service.

It’s Aaron Sibley’s job as president of the La Jolla business networking organization to make sure their partner members are the cream of the crop. “We represent business owners in the community, and trust everybody that we bring into the group,” said Aaron SIbley Aaron. “We vet everybody that comes in, so when we’re selecting contractors, attorneys, and business like that, we really want them to be the best when they represent our group.”

Not only must LeTip members be of high caliber when they join, but the membership requirements are stringent, to maintain that level of quality. It isn’t just asked, it is expected that member businesses will be ethical, professional, and highly experienced in their industry.

The vetting process includes meeting with the business owner at their facility or office, for a LeTip inspection. A recent change in policy now accommodates home-based businesses, in oneon-one meetings with a LeTip board member.

To sustain your membership, you’re required to deliver four tips per month (one at each weekly meeting). But what exactly constitutes a “tip”? Is it a “Hey, I’ve got this guy’s phone number from another guy I met in line at the airport, who does something with flooring”?

Um, no.

A current member contacts another business administrator personally, not simply finds their name in an online list, for instance. Doing a little pre-vetting, the company executive is told about LeTip and its quality standards, suggesting their business might benefit being introduced as a “tip” to the organization’s members. This system offers a form of reference and a reliable source of business professionals for member LOCAL NEWS | LocalUmbrellaNews.com

clients, family and friends. This contact sets the stage for the company’s membership in LeTip.

Raising the business networking bar Not in more than a century has the world been in so much upheaval and turmoil, due to illness.

Wars, yes, but the past two years took everyone by surprise. Talk about the ultimate excuse not to work! But work we must ... and savvy business owners found ways not to just survive, but to thrive.

As most communications moved online, many businesses were left behind. That’s when organizations like LeTip’s business networking for small business especially, were needed more than ever.

Management leaders sought ideas, sources, and camaraderie from their peers, to help get them through this incredibly stressful time.

LeTip urged their members to rally ‘round.

“We really didn’t lose many people at all, during the pandemic,” said Aaron. To help members deal with the catastrophic changes, they shifted to Zoom meetings, which resulted in suspending the quarterly dues.

While a seemingly small step, it applied directly to the members’ bottom line, which helped maintain involvement. “That just goes to paying for our breakfast [at weekly meetings] anyway; we were also strict on attendance. There’s no reason you can’t pop on Zoom, even if you’re just rolling out /LocalUmbrellaMedia

@LocalUmbrellaMedia

Interested in joining this powerhouse business organization? Their legacy is legendary. As the initial chapter of the first recognized business networking organization in the U.S., LeTip of La Jolla has many years behind its traditions.

LeTip has supported coastal Southern California businesses for more than forty years, eventually expanding nationally and internationally. With recent new members, the La Jolla membership boasts fifty-six participants as of August 2022.

A unique aspect for new members is their Mentor Program. It’s a great way to amiably assist incoming members and make them feel more comfortable. Said Aaron, “We have a committee chairperson, currently, Dr. Emily Hernandez, who assigns a mentor, usually a long-term member. They sit next to the new member for a month or two at the meetings and explains what’s going on.”

From member to president is a leap Aaron, a personal injury attorney with five years under his LeTip membership belt, readily made. He takes his presidential responsibilities seriously, but with congenial

humor.

“We have a pretty funny, friendly group,” said Aaron. The other board members make his job easy, organizing details so he can slide in at the last minute and call the meetings to order, knowing all is a “go.” That kind of member support allows him to focus on the group’s integrity.

Support and integrity are key components in business networking. LeTip is as selective in the industry categories allowed to join, as they are in the individual companies. Only one business per category is accepted into LeTip, which avoids conflicts of interest and provides robust member opportunities. In La Jolla, there are a few key professional industries that they’re actively seeking.
