HELLO SANTEE! Summertime is upon us and I am really looking forward to the change of season. It feels like many changes are upon us as I see businesses shifting into new gears, after breaking through barrier after barrier. These shifts are fueled by the many changes everyone is facing in the new world we live in. It seems hard to imagine a more rewarding time to be part of a thriving business community and those among it should feel proud.

We’ve learned so much in two years… for me, I’m still learning. I have been far from perfect on the road to recovery, but giving so much along the way. Like many chamber executives, (and business owners alike) we’ve had to establish a new BBB: Balance, Boundaries and Burnout.

We were often pouring so much of ourselves into our work while not knowing the path ahead, we forgot to balance in other relationships, set boundaries for those around us, and avoid burnout along the way. I’m pleased to feel on the other side of these things and grateful for the help I’ve had throughout this journey.

We have had such a powerful start to our year with bringing back some events we haven’t seen since 2019, we are back to publishing these magazines on a quarterly basis, and we are in full-prep mode for the 2022 Santee Street Fair. LIfe is good! The strength of our membership and Board of Directors is a true testimony to why I get to do what I do.

When friends or family tell me I’m always on the go, that I have a great (and fun) job, and that I know so many people around our community, they aren’t wrong. But I am thankful regularly for what this town and job provide me.

If you don’t know much about the Chamber, or what we do, get to know us. Recognize someone on our Board? Ask them about how to get more involved, the juice is definitely worth the squeeze. Our small but mighty staff takes great pride in the work we do and we are always welcoming new members. And for those already with us, thank you for your support.

- Kristen Dare, ACE

Chamber of Commerce, CEO

Errata: In our Spring 2022 issue on Page 29, we incorrectly listed the wrong times for the Board of Directors meetings for Padre Dam Municipal Water District. The regular meetings of the Board of Directors are held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 4pm in the boardroom inside the Customer Service Center at 9300 Fanita Parkway, Santee.

We regret the error.

CHAIR'S MESSAGE Let’s work together to foster success in our vibrant community.

My husband and I are local business owners, a second-generation Electrical Contractor. We joined the chamber back in 2016 for many reasons. Santee is where our business was established, it is also where we both grew up (go Santana!), where we are raising our kids, and where we are planning for our future. The chamber has given us many outlets to gain visibility, build trust, meet local leaders, and keep our finger on the pulse of what is happening in our town. At a recent roundtable with the Chamber’s Executive Committee, I enjoyed learning that each one of us had varying reasons why we choose to volunteer with this organization.

Our board of directors is an assorted group of business owners and executives offering fresh perspectives and great discussions. The seats around the table are filled with reliable, hands-on, smart professionals. The leadership skills and reputable qualities of my fellow board members are ones to truly value.

As the chair of the board, trust me when I say, we understand that our effectiveness is not about us telling you what you need, but instead local business owners and operators exchanging ideas with us. We encourage you to engage with the chamber. Let us know what is important to your business and how you think the chamber can help you achieve more. The chamber wants to partner with our local businesses because successful businesses are an essential part of this community.

Thank you 2022 Chairman's Circle Members

If you are already a Santee Chamber of Commerce member, I formally invite you to take part in our events and other valuable opportunities the chamber provides. We can foster success together. Of all the motivations for membership, I am certain we can agree that crafting a vibrant community is the best part of the investment in the chamber.

This organization is full steam ahead. I am happy to be writing this just after we wrapped up our second large-scale and in-person event of the year. We could not be more thrilled about it. This chamber is no stranger to producing great events however, seeing our events back to the full-scale awesomeness they were a few years ago feels so good.

This chamber is buzzing. Look for the highlights from our Santee’s Favorites Awards Celebration and Santee Heroes Celebration. These were two exceptional evenings recognizing local businesses and local citizens through community impact awards and honoring our Person of the Year. At one of these events, an individual spoke to my heart when she said to me, “This is an emotional night for me it just feels so good to be back in a room full of people, to see these faces that I have missed so dearly. I am thankful for this!”

I couldn't have agreed more as I looked around the room full of smiles.

I hope to see you at our next event.

S UM M ERT I M E

A ND T H E LIVING IS E A SY IN SANTEE Santee has an abundance of outdoor recreation spots in town. From local businesses, parks, fields, trails and more, we encourage you to get out there and safely enjoy all our town has to offer. Here are a few of our recommendations to get you started this season!

Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve {9310 Fanita Parkway} Santee Lakes plays a vital role in the social, economic and physical well-being of our guests and Santee residents. We offer wide-ranging recreational opportunities, increased property values, and we spur local economies through tourism and TOT taxes. With over 2,000 trees in our urban forest, green spaces to help cool our environment, and solar on our 3 RV storage lots, Santee Lakes helps the city of Santee with their Sustainable Santee Plan climate goals.

Park Director Laura Koval offered, “I have always known Parks Make Life Better, but this motto was tested during the global pandemic.

When some Parks (including ours) were able to reopen in May of 2020, the sense of relief from our guests the day our gates reopened was palpable. It was a challenging time for everyone, but ultimately Parks are now widely recognized as critical for health and wellness.

I am so proud of our team. We never stopped working and were able to provide a resource for those looking to improve their physical and mental well-being—all the more necessary during this public health emergency. Perhaps the new motto should be Parks Make Life. In

town from their outdoor dining patio. With a full restaurant, bar, event space and driving range, this property (open to the public) has been a hidden jewel AND town favorite for locals. “The Oaks” has been my go-to business in town for so many things! An offsite office and meeting space, date night, networking events, weddings, golf tournaments, professional photos, overnight stays, you name it! Their wide range of services keep me coming back for more.

Kristen’s Favorite: A beer from the bar, a large bucket of balls from the proshop, and the driving range before sunset.

Sportsplex USA {9951 Riverwalk Drive} Our first business ever featured on a Santee Magazine cover! Opened back in 2010, this 20-acre facility hosts over 350,00 each year.

Boasting three tournament-quality softball fields and two indoor soccer arenas, the Sportsplex offers professional spectator seating, electronic scoreboards, pro-style player dugouts and advanced synthetic turf.

our little slice of heaven, they do.”

Kristen’s Favorite: Roller skating under the gazebo on a day with a nice breeze with family or friends.

Carlton Oaks Golf Club {9200 Inwood Drive} Serving as the only golf course in town is one way to stand out, but in addition to being one of the top-ranked 18-hole courses in the county, Carlton Oaks has one of my favorite views in

Sportsplex USA TSM

Sportsplex USA offers adult and youth sports leagues, tournaments and corporate events all year long. Their sports pub offers ballpark favorite snacks and 8 draft beers on tap in their air conditioned space with a dozen TVs showing your favorite sports in season. For me, I see this well-oiled machine here for the long run. Why? Their core team is a home run. President, Bill Berghoff, General Manager, Eddie Vandiver and Director of Marketing & Sponsorships, Chris Vertrees make the dream team every business hopes for.

Kristen’s Favorite: Borrowing a bat from a neighbor and practicing my swing in one of their 4 slow-pitch batting cages.

Pedego Electric Bikes Santee {50 Town Center Parkway} Pedego Santee is a locally-owned store where you'll be treated like family. They’re the region's foremost electric bike experts offering sales, rentals, accessories, and service.

Pedego® stands for premium quality and local service. Here’s what they do for you: (1) Help you find the perfect electric bike for your needs, (2) Deliver your Pedego(s) ready to ride with no hassles, (3) Stand behind the product with parts and service in the future, and (4) Go above and beyond to make sure you’re delighted. You can stop by their shop and try a Pedego for free! These bikes will amaze you almost as much as their customer service and care for each client.

Kristen’s Favorite: Sounds simple, but, the owners! Sometimes you can’t ask for better people in Santee and that’s the case with Greg and Stephanie Carter.

Business Awards Night Thank you to everyone who voted online over the two rounds of our Santee’s Favorites contest for your favorites of 2021! We had the best time celebrating our member finalists at our annual Business Awards Night at Sycuan Casino Resort in April. Having almost 200 people there to celebrate meant so much to our staff and Board of Directors.

THANK YOU to my amazing staff and board, our host Sycuan who went above and beyond, all our sponsors and auction donors, our committee members, Eddie Vandiver for being the best co-host and MC, and each of you who attended. We were over-the-moon being able to celebrate and showcase some amazing businesses throughout our community.

For a list of all the winners of Santee’s Favorites from the evening, just look on Page 14!

Congratulations to our Chairman’s Award recipients, Melissa Dombo of Raceway Electric & Solar and Mike Aiken of Carlton Oaks Golf Club.

We’d also like to congratulate our Lifetime Service Award recipient, Mike Clinkenbeard of Mike & Marla Clinkenbeard’s Farmer Insurance Agency, who served on our board for a decade and still volunteers his time as a member!

Some of the most prestigious awards this year were definitely among my favorite parts of the night as we awarded our Community Impact Award recipient, Jimmy’s Family Restaurant, the Business Legacy Recipient, Lloyd’s Collision & Paint Center, and of course, our Business of the Year recipient, Staump Music School. Please help support these local businesses as they continue to make our community an amazing place to eat, shop and play!

Santee Heroes On April 26th the Santee Chamber hosted our Santee Heroes Celebration at Carlton Oaks Golf Club. This was an event we started back in 2019, just to have to hit the pause button on it over the past two years. Bringing this event back to life has meant a lot to our Chamber as it’s allowed for so much joy, placing these community heroes on a well-deserved pedestal.

We honored 3 organizations (non-profit, community organization and place of worship) along with 9 special honorees ranging from teachers, first responders and volunteers and proudly announced the Santee Chamber’s 2021 Person of the Year, Dan Bickford. Check out the full list of honorees on Page 16.

We would like to formally thank Daniel Buksa, owner of Mission Realty Group. Daniel was asked to take this event and bring it back to life, and boy, did he deliver. He brought in partners like TDT Construction, Carlton Oaks and Jimmy’s Family Restaurant to host and cater, and once the date was set for the celebration, he never stopped working. He filled the room with honorees, sponsors, community leaders, friends, family, coworkers, you-name-it. His infectious positive energy made a good night into a great one and we are so glad to have him as part of our Chamber board. Thank you to all who came, contributed, were honored, and congratulations to all on a perfect Santee evening. For those who couldn’t join us, be sure to check out our Facebook page to see all the photos (shot by Lynda Marrokal).

MY HOMETOWN AN I N T E RV IE W W ITH LO C AL RE S I D E N T M IK E A I KE N As part of our My Hometown article series, we caught up with Mike Aiken, Director at Carlton Oaks Country Club. You may have met Mike at a local community event, volunteering around town, at a Santee City Council Meeting, or on the golf course. Mike moved to Santee in the early 90’s as a young police officer and has been a contributor to our community ever since.

Mike currently volunteers and serves on the Santee Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the Santee Community Oriented Policing Committee (COMPOC), and is also a member of the Santee/Lakeside Rotary Club.

Mike is no stranger to public service. He grew up in a small town in Missouri and joined the Navy just after high school. He spent 6 years serving our country as a Sonar Supervisor on the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Barb (SSN-596) during the later years of the Cold War. After his career in the Navy, Mike joined the San Diego Police Department serving the public and retired after 28 years.

During our interview, he talked about some of the high points during his time on the police force. Mike shared, “The majority of my law enforcement career was spent as a Detective assigned to the Narcotic Task Force with the DEA, where I also had the privilege of working with and training narcotic detection K9s."

“ Working with police dogs was definitely one of the highlights of my career. ” Today in his “retirement”, Mike is an avid golfer and has chosen to craft another career on the course.

When I asked him why he chose to work at Carlton Oaks Country Club he explained, “Carlton Oaks has been a strong community partner for over 60 years and I’m proud to be involved in helping revitalize the course and property to ensure we remain a vital community hub well into the future. I’ve really enjoyed working with golf course architect Cary Bickler helping finalize the upgraded golf course layout, which will be fun and challenging to players of all ability levels.”

If you have known Mike for any period of time, it is hard to miss his genuine character. “Santee has always been a very special place to me and I enjoy contributing to the community I care so much about,” says Mike. During our interview, we talked about why he goes out of his way to support local businesses. “I believe supporting local Santee businesses is very important to our community’s overall success. Many of our local businesses are owned and operated by fellow Santee community residents who are deeply invested in Santee’s well-being and future.”, said Mike.

Thank you Mike for your service and for continuing to be involved in our community, supporting local businesses, and for your volunteer work in Santee!

As an active member of the Santee Chamber I often showcase upcoming development projects and events around town.

Be sure to follow me for more on Facebook.com/SanteeUpdate

Raymond's Barbershop Javier is a 3rd generation barber and owner of Raymond’s Barbershop. This coming school year will mark the 5th year that Javier and his team of barbers have offered free Backto-School haircuts for local students. Until then, if you’re looking for a cut or a shave, stop by the new Raymond’s Barbershop location in Town Center between Chuze Fitness and the Coffee Corner.

Kravings If you’re looking for the freshest food in town, you have to check out Kravings! The smoothies and salads are made to order with perfectly ripe fruits, and vegetables. The tortas and sandwiches rival the best around. Fidel and his family have owned and operated Kravings Fruit Bar since 2016 to fulfill the need for fresh and healthy alternatives in the community. Give them a try, you’ll be happy you did.

XL Staffing Advertorial

Preparing Your Resume Your résumé is the primary tool for communicating information about yourself to prospective employers. Résumés follow a fairly standard format, which include Header, Objective, Skills, Experience, and Education.

The layout of your résumé will change depending on the amount of work experience you have, as well as your level of experience in the field for which you are applying. If you don’t have much experience in the specific career field you are applying for, it’s best to detail your past work experience and relate the skills required in your previous jobs to the new job.

Do not lie, and do not stretch the truth. Have quality copies made from a fresh master copy. Included below are explanations of each section of your résumé and a sample résumé outline.

The Header should contain full name and all necessary contact information. Provide at least one phone number. If you have a cell phone, give that number. Be wary of any e-mail address or website URL you provide as you may be judged on the content of your website or the name on your e-mail address.

The Objective or Qualifications Summary: Keep objective simple. Don’t write fluffy statements about your desire to change the world through this job. Try to convey why you should be hired—your desire, work ethic, etc.

If you have solid qualifications for the job, list those instead.

Skills: If you have limited experience, list your basic job skills. For the more experienced, include as many of the skills that are required for the job as possible, including computer skills, knowledge of specific business software, even specific tasks that you know the job will require.

Employment History or Work Experience: If you have experience, always include your most recent work experience at the top and include all relevant experience no matter how old. If you’ve had many job changes or short stints at jobs, be sure to explain why, but do not blame the job or previous employer.

Education: Include full details on your education including degrees and awards received. Include any relevant training classes for previous jobs.
