Your Shop Vista Holiday Gift Guide! Businesses and customers are being affected by shipping delays and logistics challenges. It’s a tough problem and expected to be worse during holiday shopping time. My advice is to shop early and shop LOCAL this holiday season. By shopping local you support the businesses run by our neighbors and friends, create local jobs, and avoid disappointment due to gifts stuck on a delivery trucks somewhere in a polar vortex! With that in mind, I have a few recommendations for excellent holiday shopping this year. Pair-A-Dice Games is a great spot to find board games, Pokémon cards, and family fun activities! You can read more about them on page 16. My family loves experience gifts so tickets to the Moonlight or Wave Waterpark or a membership to Alta Vista Botanical Gardens or Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum are always a hit with my crew. A gift card for a kitty experience at Cat & Craft is a popular choice for my littles and they can stock up on cat-themed gifts or tasty treats while we are there. Another fun experience is a rental from RV Rent California, or give the ultimate gift of travel and book a dream vacation or cruise through Vacations By Andrea. For those on your list that love craft beer, wine or spirits, Vista has so many options! Misadventure & Co Vodka, 117 West Spirits, and Grafted Cellars Wine are popular with my friends. For those who enjoy mead or kombucha,
Twisted Horn and Local Roots can hook you up. We have quite a few Chamber Member breweries but some that are newer to town are Pure Project, Five Suits and Guadalupe Brewery. I am sure they would love your support. Frazier Farms has lots of options for beer and wine gifts. And, make sure to check out their bakery/deli on the way to that family potluck. Or, place an order with Bleu Oak Charcuterie and wow them with a beautiful meat and cheese display. Re•find off Main Street has unique home decor and fashion finds, including a signature hat collection. Every visit there is a like a little treasure hunt! For the new moms or babies in your life, Babies in Bloom has a variety of gifts, clothes, accessories. Beads Crystals & More is another great spot for unique gifts such as gems, rocks, or jewelry made from either. Shakarian Fine Jewelers, a longtime Vista business, has a great selection of jewelry, too! There are so many tasty Vista restaurant options for gift cards, catering or dinner out. Best Pizza & Brew and Madera Kitchen of Mexico are new to Vista but there are many other options included in our directory which starts on page 37. Which ones are your favorites? Barrel & Stave is new to downtown, and offers beer, wine, and kombucha on tap as well as many unique and hard to find brews available to take home. For those who have a sweet tooth Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen, Peppertree Frosty,
Frogy's Donuts, Cold Stone Creamery or Dunkin are great choices. Sunset Bay Candy Company offers many candy options for corporate gifts with a homemade touch, too.
Lastly, please consider a gift that support our amazing non-profits serving our community.
Check out more details about Vista’s non-profits on page 25 and think of Custom clothing or hats from Embroidery them this Giving Tuesday and every day. Image or Alchemy Print Co. make unique I hope you found this holiday shopping and fun gifts and is another option for guide helpful. Our Vista businesses are employees. Or maybe everyone in the grateful for your support. Let me know family just needs their own logo blanket if you try any of these; I'd love to know for movie night! what you think! As a mom, sometimes I just have to shop for myself. A relaxing massage from Chiropractic Wellness Center, hair accessories, or service gift cards from Hellbent for Hair may just find their way into my stocking this year. And, as I think about my fitness goals for next year, some personal sessions with Dimensional Fitness may be on my list, too. The men in my life prefer practical gifts so gift cards for car services or oil changes at Golden Wrench or TJ Crossman Auto Repair are good choices. Or maybe getting that door ding handled at J&R Auto Body would go over well. Another budget friendly option is a laptop or computer monitor from The Computer Factory. They have great deals there!

Madera Kitchen of Mexico Offers an Elevated Mexican Food Experience in Vista By Barb Miltenberger
6
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
Madera Kitchen of Mexico is the brain-child of Ivan Sanchez Lucas and he runs the business with his partners Daniel Carrasco, his cousin Nestor Flores and his brother-in-law, Guillermo Lupercio. Ivan grew up in the restaurant industry and has opened five different restaurants in five years, but for others rather than himself. It was seven years ago that he started dreaming about having his own place and pushing the people who would eventually become his partners to jump on board. Dreams are wonderful things, but it’s hard to give them wings without funding, and that’s what they were lacking…capital. While many were financially set back during 2020 with the COVID-19 outbreak and shutdowns, Ivan was busy running his consulting business, working with a couple of successful restauranteurs who needed counsel. This work ended up providing the capital they needed to turn their dream into a reality. With finances in place, the team scoured North County for properties and the building that formerly housed Sunrise Café turned out to be the winning ticket. Being that a restaurant had previously occupied the building gave them a head start, and his partners used their construction skills to do the remodel and front patio installation. Their doors officially opened for business on July 21 of 2021. Their goal is to offer North County an upscale, fine dining experience and traditional Mexican food “with a twist.” You will see many dishes on the menu that you will recognize like Carnitas and Chile Verde, but at Madera Kitchen, it might be prepared differently than what you are used to. They are always looking for new and different ways to create traditional dishes. Keep an open mind and enjoy the vision, is what they ask. However, it must be said that they are also listening to their customers and evolving and changing where that needs to happen, with pricing, portions and presentation. Speaking of evolving, at the beginning of October they began serving weekend brunches from 9AM-2PM. You will find traditional breakfast items that you know and love like French Toast, pancakes and all-American plates as well as Mexican specialties like chilaquiles, enchiladas and a thing or two that will surprise you. Dinner hours are 4-9PM Wednesday through Sunday.
“ “ Ivan has never been happier in his work life than he is right now, despite the challenges of getting a business up and running. It is an amazing thing to sacrifice and invest into a business that is your own. The future vision for Madera Kitchen of Mexico is simple. The business is based on connection with customers and community. It’s all about family, learning, growing. "We treat all our guests as family and friends, as the restaurant is our home. Shake hands, give hugs and invite all into our home, to fuel more than our bodies, to fuel our souls!"- Ivan Sanchez Lucas Please join me in welcoming Madera Kitchen of Mexico to town and please stop by soon for a meal. You can find out more about them at www.maderakitchenofmexico.com. They are located at 1250 S. Santa Fe Avenue, Vista, CA 92084

CHAIRMAN'S CORNER
Chair of the Board Adam Brooks
The year 2021 has been another record- setting year in our journey to “normalcy.” Whether your business is booming or still reeling from closures, the odds are you are facing challenges unlike any you have seen before. From labor issues to massive disruptions in supply chains, there is no shortage of hurdles in today's business climate. The Vista Chamber of Commerce, as always, is here to help mitigate these challenges by providing resources, information, and connections to help keep your business running smoothly even in these turbulent times. As an advocate and resource to the business community in Vista, The Chamber is proud to partner with the City of Vista to help provide some much needed relief for many businesses that were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The City of Vista has received $26M from the American Recovery Plan and has allocated $2.7M to a business grant program. This program will be administered by the Vista Chamber of Commerce and focuses primarily on businesses that lost revenue as a result of conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participating businesses must be located in the City of Vista. Priority will be given to businesses that did not receive prior relief grants. Please email businessgrants@vistachamber.org with questions or get on the interest list.

Vista Bottles the Magic of Pure Project Brewing By Elizabeth Bickford
12
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
The Pure Project Brewing group has launched operations in Vista! The 15-Barrel Brewhouse and tap room are the newest additions to their family. With a growing number of breweries in the area Mat Robar, Jesse Pine, and Winslow Sawyer, co-founders of Pure Project Brewing, agree that Vista was the ideal location for their expansion! Pure Project Brewing started out as an idea between friends, an idea that took them on a journey from production in Costa Rica to here in San Diego County. They began production in a Mira-Mar brewer ignitor program 6 years ago. Their goal was to make a sustainable, ingredient-centric, quality brew for their community. The group is committed to donating 1% of top-line sales to environmental organizations that align with their vision. While keeping with their mission their popularity grew and soon they found that each and every production release was immediately
sold out, this meant supply would need to increase and so would their space! Now Pure Project Brewing is achieving that expansion here in Vista. Their new 14,000 SQ FT space is an ideal location for setting up headquarters along the Hops Highway. The group can watch the process from grain to grass all under one roof making for a natural environment of collaboration and experimentation! The move to Vista has provided a new sense of connection and community within their ranks. The Vista Chamber of Commerce has extended invitations to events like the Vista Strawberry Festival making the transition into the community one of ease. In addition to corporate spaces and production the property in Vista also hosts a
tap room. Guests can taste fan favorites, new releases, and the cherished beer slushie! With new releases and slushies recipes changing each week there is always a reason to stop in. Weekly releases allow for the freshest ingredients to be incorporated at the most optimal time, be on the lookout for the “Home for the Holihaze” brew set to release this winter! On weekends you can find food trucks, there is a free delivery collaboration with Leucadia Pizza, and guests are always welcome to bring in their own food. The tap room is family and pet friendly, so bring your entire crew! The tap room is also a great location for private and corporate events. With substantial outdoor and indoor space,
the tap room can accommodate 100 occupants. The west facing patio and indoor plants make this an inviting environment for all types of events. Consider reaching out to events@purebrewing. org to book their space! If you are looking for a holiday gift, try one of their monthly subscriptions that are delivered overnight to anywhere in California and Nevada, subscriptions can be purchased on their website. Stop by and visit the tap room, Monday-Thursday 3p - 9 pm, Friday 3 pm -10 pm, Saturday 11 am- 10 pm, Sunday 11 am - 8 pm at 1305 Hot Spring Way, Vista, CA 92081. Be sure to follow Pure Project Brewing on social media to see upcoming holiday selections and events!

Let’s Shop & Dine Vista! This holiday season we should take time to celebrate with our family and friends and to explore Vista. Stroll throughout downtown Vista where locally owned businesses have much to offer for the holidays. Our downtown areas is filled with unique small businesses that have much to offer. Let’s support our small businesses and do our shopping and dining in Vista. Every dollar spent at local businesses in Vista directly supports jobs and our local economy. By shopping in our city, we ensure that our unique downtown remains thriving, successful, and vibrant. The benefits to a community when residents buy goods and services from local businesses are clear. These are the most significant benefits we see when residents support businesses in Vista: • stimulates the local economy and keeps more money in the community; • creates and sustains employment opportunities for residents to work closer to home; • allows goods and services you need and want to be offered nearby; • keeps sales tax dollars in Vista to help support community programs such as senior and youth programs, and fire and law enforcement services; and • fosters a community that cares and invests in itself. I’m proud of all our businesses and employees in Vista for the strength and resolve they have shown in the face of such challenging times. On Small Business Saturday on November 27, let’s show our support by shopping and dining Vista!

As the biggest and oldest game store in North County, Pair-A-Dice Games at 2020 Hacienda Drive is a haven for anyone looking for unique board games, creative puzzles or who enjoys competitive gaming. “We have nearly 1,000 different games in our store and feature between five to 10 new games per week,” says Owner Rob North who opened the store in 2003. “We also offer lots of collectable card games like Pokémon and Magic the Gathering, which has millions of players around the world.” North explains that you won’t find many mainstream board games from makers such as Hasbro or Mattel at Pair-A-Dice. “Our main focus is to offer games that are for hobbyists, unusual, easy to learn, and extremely fun.”

VISTACHAMBER.ORG
The store also features a large game space where North hosts various tournaments and offers open play every night for games like Dungeons & Dragons. “We’re all about bringing people together and creating a gathering place for those who love to play.” North, who is also a life-long lover of playing games, always dreamed of one day opening a game store in his retirement years. However, a layoff from a job in the tech world almost 20 years ago made his dream come true faster than he ever imagined.
summer of 2020. It wasn’t until earlier this spring that the game room finally opened again, bringing back many of his loyal customers and gamers. With sales still recovering, North always looks to the holiday season as a great way to introduce the store to new customers looking for stocking stuffers and gifts. North is passionate about curating games to ensure that his inventory caters to families and younger kids. “My 18 years of experience helps me identify the games that I believe will be best sellers,” he says. “It’s typical that

North currently employs nine people with plans to expand. Most of his employees are customers who are passionate about their hobby and already have a strong knowledge base about the product offerings. However, during Covid, North was forced to lay off his entire staff. He survived by taking special orders, offering curbside deliveries and responding to customers’ higher than usual demand for puzzles. “We completely sold out of the 500 puzzles we had in stock and ordered even more during the worst of the pandemic,” he says. The store slowly began to reopen in the
once people find us, they keep coming back and become long-term fans of the store.” Some of North’s favorite games are “Euro Style”, meaning games are designed so that everyone participates until the end, like Scrabble. “American Style” games typically include the use of a die where players are eliminated. North particularly enjoys the Euro style game, “Ticket to Ride”, which won the game industry’s coveted Spiel de Jahre Award as the Game of the Year. The goal is to try and create rail routes between cities with cards. Points are
scored as you lay down tracks and meet your destinations. Another family favorite of his is “Carcassonne”, which is themed after an ancient city in France. Players lay down pieces like a puzzle. Once you complete something, you win. He says it’s simple to learn and a lot of fun to play. “Even my wife enjoys this game because she feels like she can easily compete without having to be an expert gamer,” says North, whose family includes two grown children who also enjoyed lots of game nights through the years. So much so, that his son now works for a
company that designs phone games. North is proud to be a member of the Vista Chamber since he first opened his doors. “We’re part of the community and I believe it’s important to show our support,” he says. “I’m very happy with what I do because not only is it a fun industry to work in, but it also focuses on making special memories with family and friends.” To learn more about Rob North and Pair-A-Dice, visit www.pairadicegames. com or email Rob directly at fun@pairadicegames.com VISTACHAMBER.ORG

New Hotel Offers Style and Unique Amenities By Anne McDonnell Gone are the days when visitors to the area had few options for where to stay. Now, Vista has a variety of hotels with amenities and accommodations on par with the best around. One of the newest options is Ayres Hotel Vista/Carlsbad, a family-owned and operated, boutique-style hotel that recently opened in Vista. The hotel was designed and built by the Ayres family, and, says Kate Jordan, Director of Sales, “It’s truly a one-of-a-kind hotel that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.” One of its most unique and popular amenities is a full, made-to-order breakfast included with the hotel stay. Says Jordan, “Our guests really love this amenity.” Chefs create custom omelets, and guests can chose from a variety of other breakfast items, including scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. The hotel also offers a well-equipped fitness center, a heated pool and hot tub, free parking, and free wi-fi. In addition, the hotel is very pet friendly. “We love being able to welcome travelers with their furry friends,” says Jordan. The hotel is getting ready to open its bar and restaurant by the end of 2021 that will feature local brews and offer the community “a fun new place to meet with friends and family,” Jordan says. Ayres opened in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, and Jordan says that “it was an interesting time to open a new hotel, but it has gone very well and we continue to love what we do.” Guest feedback has been great, says Jordan, and “we love interacting with guests and getting to know the community and how we can serve them.” This philosophy starts from the top, and unlike large hotel chains, the owners of Ayres Hotel visit often. “They know the staff by name and make a point to greet everyone. They treat the people who work here like family,” Jordan says, and that hospitality extends to visitors and guests The hotel is located right where Vista meets Carlsbad meets San Marcos, so it’s centrally located to local breweries, restaurants, the beach, and Legoland, which is convenient for guests and also locals who are hosting family and friends. And, notes, Jordan, the hotel is out of the more heavily trafficked areas of North County, “so our guests enjoy a nice secluded stay with us.” For Jordan, the best part about working in the hotel industry is being a part of people’s lives, often when they are celebrating a special occasion. And, of course, being part of their visit “to one of the best places in the world.” Ayres Hotel Vista/Carlsbad 2100 Radiance Way, Vista, CA 92081 760.335.0035 https://www.ayreshotels.com/ayres-hotel-vista-carlsbad

Chamber Embraces Three New Career Development Programs for Students The Vista Chamber of Commerce is always looking for creative ways to solve local business challenges. This year, the Chamber is proud to announce three outstanding new programs that strive to connect local businesses looking for talent with area students. “Our goal is to create opportunities through programming and education that ultimately keeps our young people eager to remain local to live and work in good jobs, which makes our community that much stronger and vibrant,” says Chamber Director Rachel Beld. Here are three soon-to-be-launched programs spearheaded by the Vista Chamber:
1
SOCAL
(Student Opportunities
for Career Awareness and Learning) This first program is a collaboration between Tri-City Medical Center, San Diego North EDC, and the Vista, Oceanside, and Carlsbad Chambers. Through a generous grant from County Supervisor Jim Desmond, phase one of SOCAL offers a newly designed website featuring a repository of 35 career videos. Each partner chamber in the program provided videos that highlight a variety of local, good paying and fulfilling jobs. Featured careers require a variety of educational pathways including college, technical schools, and apprenticeships. The program officially launches in mid-December during a ceremony at the annual luncheon of the San Diego North Economic Development Council (SDNEDC).
“Our hope is that this program will grow to include internships, job shadowing, and long-term job placements” Check the Chamber website after December 16 for the program website reveal.
2
Vista Chamber’s Business Internship Program With a grant from the City of Vista, the Chamber is creating an exciting paid internship program that will launch next summer for up to 100 rising seniors in our school district with Vista companies. Chamber staff members are currently putting together program guidelines for both the interns and host businesses, and working with the school district on how to best roll out the program.
“The goal of this pilot internship program is to connect students with businesses that are having a hard time finding local talent,” says Beld. “We designed the internship to be 100 hours because it’s just long enough to get to know a company and complete a meaty project for their resumes while gaining some valuable experience,” she says. The grant will cover all worker’s comp fees and a higher than minimum wage hourly rate for the students. If you would like more information and you think your company would like to participate, please contact the Vista Chamber offices or email them at workforce@vistachamber.org.
3 Bright Minds for Young Entrepreneurs With middle school girls in mind, this program is designed to encourage young, female entrepreneurs to learn what it takes to start a business in today’s economy. The program is funded through a grant from the State of California Women’s Caucus through the help of California State Assembly Member Tasha Boerner Horvath.
“Women are often under-represented as entrepreneurs and small business owners in our state so we thought this would be an opportunity to introduce fundamental business know-how to Vista middle schoolers,” says Beld. According to Beld, up to 30 girls in the VUSD will take a series of classes to learn what it takes to identify a marketable business idea, develop a business plan, obtain licenses, financing and other services in the process with the goal of selling their new products at a booth during Vista’s Strawberry Festival in 2022. The program is expected to launch in January. If you would like to be an instructor or volunteer to support this program, please contact the Vista Chamber.

8 Ways
To Build a Strong Relationship with Your Doctor
Prepare questions, follow COVID protocols, use patient portal and more
• What side effects are common with a particular medication you are prescribed?
You’ve waited several weeks to see your doctor, but after you leave the office you still have questions, and you don’t quite understand your diagnosis. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to improve your relationship with your physician.
• Do you need vaccines, including the flu, pneumonia or shingles?
A good patient-physician relationship can go a long way in helping you stay healthy — and getting the care you need when you’re not feeling well. “Patients who take an active role in their care may not only feel more satisfied with their doctors, but also more in control over their own health and well-being,” says Rebecca Shragge, DO, an internal medicine physician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center Hillcrest. Communication, respect and trust are keys to any healthy relationship. And the relationship with your health care provider should be no different. Here are eight ways to help you build a good patient-physician relationship and get the most out of your appointments.
1. Be prepared for your appointment Take a few minutes to prepare for your appointment with your physician so you can make the most of your time together. You may be able to message your concerns ahead of your appointment through a patient portal. Common questions to consider include: • Do you have a new symptom you want to discuss? • Do you want to go over how a treatment is affecting your daily life? 24
VISTACHAMBER.ORG
“Before your visit, make a list of your symptoms and how long each has been present,” suggests Dr. Shragge. “Write down what medications you’re taking, including vitamins and supplements, and the dosages for each.” If you need lab work or other tests, get them before your appointment so you and your doctor can go over them together
2. Prioritize health issues to discuss Start your discussion with your physician with the most important health issue or question on your mind. “Don’t put off things you really need to discuss until the end of the visit. Bring them up right away,” says Dr. Shragge. 3. Follow COVID safety precautions Be prepared to follow COVID safety protocols before entering the clinic and at the doctor’s office, including wearing a face covering and physical distancing. At Scripps, all physicians, staff members, patients and visitors are required to wear face coverings. Scripps also offers curbside check-in as an additional safety measure so that you can remain in your vehicle until an exam room is ready for your visit.
“Bringing a friend or family member along can be extremely helpful when it comes to asking questions and clarifying information, especially for older patients or anyone who is nervous about seeing the doctor, or someone who needs a language interpreter,” says Dr. Shragge.
5. Be honest with your physician Your lifestyle and daily habits impact your health, and the information you share with your physician is confidential so be candid. If you are not honest about things, such as smoking or having a couple of cocktails daily or occasionally skipping your medications, your physician won’t have accurate information, and that can impact your care. “Let your doctor know what has happened in your life since your last visit,” says Dr. Shragge “For instance, mention any changes you have noticed in your appetite, weight, sleep or energy level.” Don’t feel embarrassed. Your doctor isn’t perfect, and he or she doesn’t expect you to be either.
6. Be sure you understand your care 4. Bring a companion to your appoint- plan ment when necessary Bring a friend or loved one with you, especially if you feel like you have trouble retaining information or you are discussing something serious like cancer or heart disease. Be aware of any visitor restrictions in place due to COVID-19.
Before you leave the doctor’s office, make sure all your questions have been answered or if you need to schedule a followup visit. Have a clear understanding of everything your doctor has told you about your condition and what you need to do,
such as getting lab tests, taking medications and caring for yourself at home. “If you’re not quite sure about something, don’t hesitate to ask for clarification before you leave,” says Dr. Shragge. “If you have questions once you get home, contact your health care team by calling the office or using an online patient portal to leave a message.”
7. Communicate with your physician, use patient portal Many health care organizations offer patients a secure health portal in order to communicate with their physicians and manage their health records. Scripps Clinic and Scripps Coastal Medical Center patients can use MyScripps, the online patient portal where you can check test results, schedule appointments, review your medical history and leave messages for your physician.
8. Follow your care plan Follow your individualized care plan to get results and monitor progress. Your care plan may include tasks such as monitoring your blood sugar, getting more exercise or taking your blood pressure. If a physician’s recommendation doesn’t sound doable or your medication isn’t working, let them know so you can reevaluate and make adjustments to your plan.

Resetting our Vision and Strategic Plan Vista Unified is working in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education and Prospect Studio to engage our entire community, students, parents, staff, and many others, in a year-long process to refresh our vision, mission, values, and strategic plan. The process will include a “Discovery” phase that features needs finding and students summits, a “Vision Creation” phase that is focused on community engagement and feedback, a “Strategic Plan” phase that converts the new vision to a set of actions and services, and a “Strategic Plan Implementation” phase that will bring the new vision, mission, values, and actions to life. Ultimately, this process will lead to a refreshed vision for what we call the promise of graduation (also called a Graduate Portrait), a clear identification of what a student needs to know and be able to do by the time they graduate from high school. The process will add two more elements that Vista Unified did not include in our current structure. The first is called the Adult Portrait. If we want to deliver on the promise of graduation for all students, then we need to clearly define what needs to be true for the adults who will support students. This includes all adults in the system: instructional staff, operational staff, board members, and community partners. The second element new to the process is the “System Portrait.” This part of the process places emphasis on what aspects of the system need to change in order to support the adults who then support the students.
Visioning Process Outcomes Vista Unified has made tremendous progress in implementing our vision, mission, and values. As a result of over eight years of collective efforts with our students, staff, and community, our school district has truly become the model of excellence and innovation in many areas including personal learning, schools of choice, career preparation, social/emotional systems of support, and technology integration. Similarly, we have made great progress implementing our mission to inspire all students to persevere as critical thinkers who collaborate to solve real world problems. Our teachers and staff have actively engaged students in real-world design challenges, competitions, and projects that create authentic hands-on learning experiences. Our district has embraced our values over the years as the foundation for how we treat each other and work together to support the strengths, interests, and aspirations of all students. We even added the value of equity to our commitments because we value the importance of giving every student what they need to become a successful learner. It is important to note that the world around us continues to change in complexity and in connectivity. There are times when it actually feels like these changes are accelerating. If we, as a hub for learning, are to keep our students strategically positioned for success in their future careers and life, it is important to go through a process to refresh our vision, mission, values, and strategic plan. More details will follow for you to get involved in the redesign process.

eCommerce Business Sets Up Shop in Heart of Vista By Anne McDonnell
Many of the businesses you know and love in Vista offer something tangible, like food or a product for sale, or a service that’s been around for a long time and is familiar to you, like plumbing or car repair. But over the last 25 years or so, most of those businesses have also had to offer and maintain something that isn’t their area of expertise: a web presence and, often, an ecommerce site (that is, online shopping). Enter Artisan Venture Lab (AVL), which helps business-to-consumer and business-tobusiness companies looking to create or enhance their online presence. Says Chief Strategy Officer John Standish, “A large majority of our clients leverage some type of ecommerce offering and are looking to monetize their brand.”
I love helping people build their businesses online...

VISTACHAMBER.ORG
AVL, which is relatively new to the area and is looking to grow its west coast presence, “offers services and funding to build, revitalize, and monetize brands online through eCommerce, software design and development, and cross-platform marketing,” according to Standish. Clients have included non-profit organizations, Native American tribes and groups, and companies that sell products, such as solar panels and fireplaces. Website design and “backend” technology take into consideration both the client and the intended audience. What makes AVL different than simply a web-design company is that it offers much more, including funding and support with product manufacturing and shipment. “We specialize in full-cycle ecommerce, and can provide resources and/or funding in exchange for equity when suitable. We [also] have extensive experience navigating obstacles surrounding manufacturing, inventory, fulfillment, and shipping,” says Standish. A team of experts in these areas “invests time, resources, and capital into business ideas and brands to realize their maximum revenue potential,” Standish continues. All clients are involved in a collaborative process that includes “working sessions” where the team collectively reviews things like growth plans, market penetration and expansion, product/service development, and diversification. When supporting companies with funding, AVL looks “to partner with like-minded individuals who are passionate about their craft and with those who are looking to disrupt their industry’s status-quo.” Decisions are made after the executive team takes the time to research and review requests. This collaborative approach is what motivates the team at AVL. “I love helping people build their

Says Standish, “I work with a super talented team that has a great sense of humor and it makes work fun.” To share their expertise with others, the company plans to offer tech talks and workshops in the future to provide industry knowledge to the community. AVL is based in Minneapolis, and its Vista location operates out of The Film Hub coworking facility in downtown Vista. Standish says he loves Vista; “it is a great community.”

Dreaming of a 2022 Vacation? Andrea is Here to Help!
Are you finally ready to start adventuring out again? It’s been a long 18 months for many of us travel lovers. Whether you are dreaming of a river cruise, a destination vacation, or an allinclusive resort getaway in 2022, Luxury Travel Advisor Andrea Auger is here to help--and the sooner you start planning, the better! Andrea’s goal is to help you craft itineraries that include extraordinary experiences for your worry free, luxury vacation that suits you and your travel group perfectly. She’s also the one that can
help make it right if anything should happen to go wrong. It’s all part of her highly professional and personalized service. Andrea created Vacations by Andrea in 2019 by parlaying her many years of corporate travel experience, love of organization, and her passion for details. She combined that with the desire to help others feel the same joy she does from traveling. “Some people spend hours and hours trying to plan a complicated trip or find the best prices that can soon become overwhelming and exhausting,” says Andrea, who is a certified luxury travel advisor. “But with me, all they have to do is call and I’ll be the one who does
Here are a few trip planning tips from Andrea: 1. For best deals and availability, plan a minimum of six months in advance. 2. Hawaii is one of the hottest destinations in the U.S. Now booking for 2022. 3. For cruises, the best pricing is when itineraries are first released. 4. Spring Break fills up really fast, so start planning ASAP! 5. Flexibility in terms of dates, destinations, and accommodations gives you more leeway. 6. Keep your options open but don’t settle if it doesn’t meet your needs. For more information about Vacations by Andrea, visit www.vacationsbyandrea.com or follow her on Instagram – andreaaugertravel & luxuryvacationsbyandrea.
the research, or stays on hold for hours with an airline dealing with a change or refund. I take all the stress out of the planning and coordinating and for many people, there’s real value in that.” Andrea believes the secret to her success is in really getting to know her clients and building relationships with them. “I help all kinds of travelers--tech-savvy honeymooners who just don’t want to be bothered with the details, to retirees ready to take that life-long dream trip to Europe,” she says.
By Julie Smith Taylor
“My personalized approach can be so freeing to clients who just want to know that they are in good hands with a professional who knows how to get things done,” she says. “Once the planning portion of the trip is com plete, you’ll still hear from me regarding important checklists and last-minute reminders regarding new travel protocols due to Covid.”
Check our website for our special cruises for 2022!
“I start with an extensive Q&A session during an initial conversation with a client,” she explains. “I like to ask about past trips and what they really liked or didn’t like. I find out about mobility issues, travel styles, interests, wish lists and more. It’s all about connecting with people and getting a real understanding of what’s important to them.” Andrea also offers an open-door policy. A client can email or text her anytime and she even offers an 800 number so clients can reach a call service that can assist them”.
Andrea believes the Golden Rule is her most powerful marketing tool, which is why she is so successful and gets so many personal referrals. “I just think about how I would like to be treated, so I stay in touch with birthday cards, personalized notes, and thank you cards,” she says. “If you are on your way home from a luxury trip that I helped you plan, know that a welcome back postcard from me will be waiting in your mailbox. I still believe in the art and the impact of sending a personalized mailed note.” Andrea also believes in her Chamber membership. “I wanted to get more involved and to know other business owners in my community. The Chamber has been a great way to link arm and arm with others.”

Dedicated to helping outdoor adventurers do more of what they love. By Elizabeth Bickford
Joining
the Vista Community in April 2021, Malo’o Racks is settling into their new facility. The name Malo’o is Hawaiian and means “dry” the name pays homage to founder Phil Kelly’s heritage. The word dry is the perfect representation for their product. The company focuses on solving problems often faced by those in water centric activities! Malo’o’s original product was a drying rack for a surfer’s wetsuit. It was addressing the issue of drying gear in an effective and neoprene friendly manner. Phil had exhausted all other options and finally decided if he wanted something that worked well he would have to create it himself! The product was launched on Kickstarter and quickly grew in popularity, as Phil and his partner XXX find new problems to solve their offering have grown. The newest product the Lounge Wagon is an innovative solution to the solving the age old problem of getting all your beach gear from the car to your beach spot! The most interesting feature of this wagon is it’s ability to convert from a wagon to a beach chair – complete with an umbrella! With such creative solutions, Malo’o has experienced substantial growth. As many have turned to outdoor activities over past year there has been an increase in demand for water related products. This means the supply needed to increase calling for more space to house product! Malo’o began the what seemed to be impossible task of locating more warehouse space. The search took them from one side of San Diego County to the other, fortunately they were able to procure space on Specialty Avenue in Vista! Their new neighbors

in Vista have been great to work with and they operate with grace and sharing of resources. Now that online shopping is such a staple in our daily routine international sales are becoming more frequent for companies. This has been an area that the Vista Chamber of Commerce has been able to assist Malo’o – understandably the process to import and export goods has been complicated, especially this year. The chamber has been able to assist them with quick and reliable paperwork and documentation to expedite the process. Knowing that they can fulfill an order globally makes it easier to promote and market to everyone in need of their innovative products! Malo’o is well prepared for the upcoming holiday season. Thanks to the foresight of stocking the company stands to meet demands while others might encounter supply chain issues this winter as the freight and delivery services have become stressed due to the demand of online shopping. Now is the time to start planning as an end user – the Malo’o products are perfect gift ideas for the outdoorsperson in your life or the multitasking mom! Shoppers this season should plan to be savvy and early when it comes to filling those holiday shopping lists. Make a point to stop by MalooRacks.com to explore the products they have available and find their upcoming events and where you can experience them first-hand!

Introducing Vista Chamber’s Very Own Podcast: Velocity by Anne McDonnell With all of the change happening in Vista, it can be difficult to keep up. Enter the newest project from the Vista Chamber of Commerce, Velocity, a podcast that aims to inform, enlighten, and entertain listeners from Vista and beyond. Hosted by the Chamber’s CEO Rachel Beld, a new episode drops every two weeks and features local “movers, shakers, and change-makers.” The first episode features Vista Mayor Judy Ritter, who discusses her business and political careers, along with personal stories and her favorite things about Vista. Next up is developer Lev Gershman. Other episodes feature Vista Unified School District Superintendent Matt Doyle, and Misadventure and Co. Vodka. The goal of the podcast is to highlight the latest developments in Vista and to “gain insight from those who have a direct impact on our City,” but ultimately it’s about “people’s stories—the how and the why,” says Beld. The podcast features the people “who make it happen,” and will amplify the voices of the businesses and people who are doing great things in Vista. Beld says that people are always asking her about the latest developments around town, and there usually isn’t a simple answer. In fact, she says, there are “rich and dynamic” stories and people behind those businesses, and the podcast is an opportunity for people to share those stories. “Having a platform is important; so many amazing things are happening here,” she says. Even listeners outside of Vista are tuning in to hear about Vista’s entrepreneurial spirit. “The stories may be specific to Vista, but the themes aren’t,” says Beld, noting that people from South Africa, Germany, Mexico, and Puerto Rico have already listened in to hear stories about community, hard work, and creativity.
September Vista High School – Lindsey Harris; Tri City Christian School – Gavin Ambrose; Rancho Buena Vista High School – Elena Newman; Guajome Park Academy – Guadalupe Ruiz; Mission Vista High School – Stevin Latimer; Alta Vista High School Kathia Ibanez
You can find the podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Says Beld, “The word ‘velocity’ is about movement and about action; that’s what I think these stories tell—the movement and action in our town.”
