The ocean inspires, connects, sustains us. Artists, poets, musicians, surfers… beach-goers the world over share a deep admiration and respect for the sea. The "Poetry in Ocean: A Celebration of the Sunset, Surf and Sea" panel and open reading was born of the same gusto for sun and surf, San Diego style! The evening will start with a panel discussion led by surfer and associate publisher of the San Diego Poetry Annual, Michael Klam. Panelists are surf journalist, Scott Bass, classical pianist/surfer, Jeeyoon Kim, poet/visual artist, Ted Washington, and lifelong surfer, artist, author and contributing writer at The Surfer’s Journal, Cher Pendarvis. Open mic follows the panel. All poets and writers of any genre are invited to share their take on the influence and inspiration they draw from the sea. Open mic readers will share one poem (or two short ones) or one piece of short prose each. Writers can sign up on the night of the show or preregister to read at sdpoetryannual@gmail.com. The Friends of the San Diego Central Library will also be hosting a membership drive to support the library. Everyone who stops by their table will get an opportunity drawing ticket and be eligible to participate, no purchase necessary. Prizes include a Hank Warner custom surfboard, $100 dinner gift certificates to Bully’s East Prime Bistro Sports Bar (and ball caps and shirts from the restaurant), and assorted swag from Rocky’s Crown Pub.

Saturday, May 6 from 1 – 4 p.m. Have you wanted to dive into the mindful, rhythmic, magic of weaving? In this rigid heddle loom workshop, students will learn to weave their own unique handwoven fabric in both plain weave (a classic, simple pattern) and clasped weft (where two wefts interconnect, creating unique patterns). Each student will learn the basics of how the loom works, a variety of simple weaving techniques, plain weave, clasped weft weaving, and finally, hemstitching for a finished piece. Students will weave a length of handwoven fabric of their choosing using the techniques in-class. Looms will be pre-warped in this class and students will weave together on Ashford Looms with 100% cotton fiber for a fiber-friendly afternoon. Beginners, as well as those with weaving experience are welcome. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook and Instagram

On March 25, 2023, our Aztec community will partner with the San Diego River Park Foundation (SDRPF) to clean a portion of the San Diego River in the Mission Valley area below the Alvarado and Fairmount Creeks connector for the inaugural SDSU Alumni Day of Service. Alvarado and Fairmount Creeks are the primary channels that move stormwater and debris away from the Mesa and into the San Diego River, eventually finding its way downstream to the Mission Valley area around Snapdragon Stadium. In the past year, volunteers have removed over 11,000 pounds of trash from this area managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, much of which was stormwater debris that accumulates after storms. The SDSU Alumni Day of Service is a great way to connect and engage with other SDSU alumni, students, parents, supporters through volunteerism and giving back to the community. Our goal for the program is to provide 100–150 SDSU alumni and their families (age 16 and over), a memorable and meaningful alumni experience. This year’s project, clean-up of the San Diego River, is also designed to align with the SDSU strategic priorities to embrace the principles of responsible environmental stewardship. Event Timeline: 8-8:30 a.m. Bagels & Fruit 8:30-9 a.m. Program/Volunteer Briefing 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Clean Up Begins 12 p.m. Thank You & Group Photo You may register for the event here!
