A View From the Beach

Hi All,

I really hate to repeat myself, but … what is going on with our weather???? First, I had to cancel our Santa’s Doggie Parade due to the weather, then we lost our power for two days and our roadways were flooded …and now we are inundated with mud, downed trees, and roadways still closed. As I mentioned last month, we are hosting our first-ever Cupid Paws Doggie Parade on Saturday, Feb. 4, and want everyone to know that red costumes for Christmas or Valentine’s Day would be totally appropriate! Registration and check-in will be held in front of the Old Custom House from 10 to 10:45 a.m. and the parade will begin at 11 a.m. Petco Arroyo Grande once again donated doggie treat bags for each participant! Please check out our website at www.avilabeachcc.com for more information and your registration form. See you at the parade! We are in the midst of our annual Membership Campaign and hope that you will renew your membership or become a new member to help us support the programs and operations of the Avila Beach Community Center. I sent out a survey of our current and past members to determine which events we should present this year. Our Spaghetti Dinner/Bingo Nights, Pancake Breakfast, Avila Apple Festival, and, of course, our Doggie Parades were the favorites. Our Board of Directors will be meeting later this month to discuss which events we can present this year and will be updating you soon. Any input that you would like to offer would be greatly appreciated so don’t hesitate to call or email your thoughts … and get involved!
