Grab the family and make a succulent pumpkin that does some good. Pumpkins for Good invites the public to a workshop on Sunday, October 25 at 11:30 a.m. at Culture Brewing in Solana Beach, where you will turn a pumpkin into your own succulent centerpiece. Every pumpkin supports San Diego Seniors Community Foundation's (SDSCF) No Senior Alone program, which brings holiday gifts, meals and connection to isolated seniors across San Diego County so no senior is alone this holiday season. Pumpkins for Good started in 2018, when Solana Beach mom Jennifer Stein taught her daughter, Madeline, to make succulent pumpkins. When COVID hit and Madeline couldn't visit her own grandparents, the family started selling the pumpkins to help seniors in need. Today, Madeline's friends and classmates make the pumpkins with her, and the home-grown charity has raised thousands of dollars and served hundreds of seniors. This year, the goal is to provide holiday gifts for more than 200 seniors in low-income facilities, plus a holiday dinner and a free, dignified shopping experience for 45 seniors. The workshop is $60, and the family friendly event takes place at Culture Brewing, 111 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. For more information, contact jessica@sdscf.org. Make your own public workshop: Sunday, October 25, 11:30 am at Culture Brewing (111 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach). It is a family friendly event.

Join us for a free community event to celebrate the launch of Tish McAllise Sjoberg's new book: "Dear Friends, My Mother is Dying." Tish returned to Ohio for the last weeks of her mother's life. With few close connections there, she reached back to her friends in California, writing to them daily through email to stay tethered and connected through this journey of letting go. "Dear Friends, My Mother is Dying" is the result of turning those original letters into a book — an unedited, raw, and deeply human account of loss and grief in real time. Unpolished by design, they are gems in their honesty. This is a rich read for anyone exploring what it means to be present to the dying and the grieving — and a doorway to open your heart and greet each day as if it were your last. Join Tish to celebrate her mother and the book she inspired. Books will be sold and signed. Tish McAllise Sjoberg on Instagram
