Buttons are now on sale to benefit the new Rancho Bernardo Dog Park. Land was purchased by the City (thanks to Brian Maienschein) for the SD Park and Rec Department to build a dog park adjacent and south of the Community Park’s playing fields. Brian promises this park will not just be a dog park, but a lovely designed park for dogs and humans. It will take time to accomplish this.

Flo Logsdon reports some street numbers missing in Seven Oaks. In her travels and visits as a Block Captain, she has noticed a number of homes with NO STREET NUMBERS on their houses, curbs or post lamps. We agree with Flo that this can be very dangerous, since emergency vehicles will take longer to find you. Neighborhood Watch advises ALL RESIDENTS to make sure their street numbers are easily seen from the street. Block Captains – please patrol your neighborhoods and remind everyone to make sure their numbers are large enough (AND in a contrasting color.)
