The annual Josephson-Spindler Gala Dinner & Silent Auction aims to expand awareness about food insecurity and its growing impact on our community. This year, the gala is on April 8, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the San Diego Natural History Museum in the historic Balboa Park. Each year this memorable event has garnered national recognition from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. All proceeds from this year's event will support Brightside Produce, Kids Eat Right, and the Student Nutrition Organization at San Diego State University (SDSU). Each ticket to the gala comes with a full dinner buffet with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options as well as 2 drink tickets. CEU's will be available for this event! For over 40 years, the Student Nutrition Organization (SNO) has served our community through volunteering, advocacy, and philanthropy. We strive for our members to develop strong professional and community relationships, and this gala is how we give back to our community locally and nationally. As the prevalence of food insecurity increases, SNO wants to bring attention to the Kids Eat Right campaign. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics developed this national campaign to educate families, communities, and policymakers about the importance of quality nutrition to promote optimal health for kids and their families. Additionally, we want to shine a light on a local non-profit, Brightside Produce, which is a nonprofit "committed to increasing access to healthy food options in underserved communities through produce deliveries, while reducing food waste and strengthening the local food system in San Diego County.” Brightside produce also offers the students of SDSU the opportunities to volunteer and give back to our local community, helping to fight food insecurity. Brightside helps the around 500,000 people in San Diego County are food insecure, with almost 165,000 of those being children and around 7,000 being students at San Diego State University. Join us for a night under the stars with keynote speaker Dr. Guadalupe Xochitl Ayala, and additional speakers, co-founder of Brightside Produce, Dr. Iana A. Castro, and Sam Pantazopoulos, co-founder of Vizer. If you are unable to attend this year’s gala, but would still like to donate and help us reach our goal, we will happily take any donations. Please venmo all donations to SNO_Paige_Sullivan. Thank you! Any businesses interested in purchasing a table (seats ten people) should email sdsu.sno.galacoordinator@gmail.com.

The fees merchants pay for accepting credit cards are much higher in the U.S. than in Europe. Ice cream shop owner Victor Garcia, for example, paid more than $25,000 in swipe fees last year.

MCASD’s focus on female artists continues in March 2023 with the first museum exhibition of San Diego and Tijuana-based artist Griselda Rosas. "Griselda Rosas: Yo te cuido" is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, presenting new textile drawings and sculptural installations that explore themes of inheritance and intergenerational knowledge. Rosas, who is based between San Diego and Tijuana, adopts embroidery skills learned from her mother, grandmother, and aunts, often using her young son’s drawings as foundations on which to layer, stitch, and build. Incorporating natural pigments and collage, Rosas combines these inventive images with colonial imagery to evoke a collision and circulation of cultures. Reserve your ticket today through here. Visit our website to find applicable admission prices and discounts, including a discount for San Diego and Tijuana residents. Tickets can be purchased online and at the museum. We do not have timed tickets, tickets valid all day on the date of your reservation. Related links: MCASD on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

The theme for this year’s San Diego County Fair is "Get Out There."

As much as a quarter of the Palestinian population of the crowded Jenin refugee camp has fled an Israeli military offensive, the United Nations says.

COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising dramatically across the nation. How deadly will this surge be? And what can we do to protect ourselves and our loved ones over the holidays? Next, when you think of San Diego’s Mira Mesa neighborhood you might think of car-dependent strip malls and vast open spaces. But a recently approved blueprint could bring big changes to the neighborhood. Then, as Russia’s war on Ukraine continues to rage, we bring you the story of a North County family torn apart by the war and U.S. immigration policy. Then, most commercial and residential property owners in North Park belong to a business district that pays for upkeep of the high-traffic neighborhood. Starting next month, they will pay an extra tax to pay for landscaping, sanitation cleanup, and hiring private security. Next, at this point, it’s not clear if Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter purchase will be able to make a go of it in the long run. But the buy-out has gotten a lot of people thinking about whether the world’s social media platforms should remain in the hands of just a few billionaires. Finally, Warwick’s head book buyer of 34 years shares some thoughts on the industry.
