In January 2024, Elton John joined Hollywood’s elite group of EGOT winners after securing an EMMY Award for his historic Disney+ live concert special Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium. Most recently, Elton and GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Never Too Late," featured in his documentary "Elton John: Never Too Late," now streaming on Disney+. The song also appears on their upcoming collaborative studio album, "Who Believes in Angels?," set for release on April 4. “Music has the power to unite people together behind a shared cause,” says Curebound CEO Anne Marbarger. “Every person in the world has been impacted by cancer and by working together, we will accelerate better prevention, detection, and treatment options for patients and families.

On Friday November 22, Encinitas Animal Hospital will be hosting an official Grand Opening of their new location in the Little Oaks Shopping center on North El Camino in Encinitas. The festivities will begin promptly at 5 p.m. and run through 7 p.m. The public is welcome to join Medical Director, Dr. Sandy Scott Ullman in the celebration of the undertaking which will include an open house viewing of the hospital, welcome ceremony, celebratory toast, and a serving of light hors d'oeuvres. The hospital, originally owned by notable long-time Encinitas resident Dr. Dean Crowe, opened its doors in 1981. Over the years he gained great respect and trust from his many clients who appreciated his honest, stepwise approach to veterinary medicine and the treatment of their pets. In 2015, Dean retired and took great care in choosing the doctor to carry on his practice style and to take good care of his patients. Dr. Sandy Ullman was that person. She has built her practices in that same honest, stepwise fashion, that enables her to do far more for your pet in-house, and in many cases, without the need for referral to costly specialists. In 2024, the hospital was the recipient of the coveted Ranch & Coast Magazine’s ‘Best of’ award as a veterinary clinic as well as its second consecutive Nextdoor App’s ‘Neighborhood Favorites’ award. Additionally, Dr. Ullman secured a new larger location for the hospital and began undertaking the hospital’s expansion and forward trajectory. The new location’s doors opened for business on August 12, 2024. This new state-of-the-art facility is appointed with many advanced tools for in-house diagnostics and treatments, and has recently brought Encinitas resident Dr. Paula Dvorchak on as an Associate Veterinarian. The official grand opening of the hospital’s new location is a celebration of its continued momentum; four decades in the making. As many privately owned hospitals are being acquired by corporate veterinary companies, having a privately owned hospital survive the trend, and do so effectively, is a grand success. This is attributed to the hard work of Dr. Ullman and her team in securing the trust of their clients through the practice of good veterinary medicine. This new and improved hospital facility will enable them to help improve the health and wellness of many more pets. Encinitas Animal Hospital on Facebook / Instagram

Learn to wet felt soap & create fun gifts! November 30, 10 a.m. - Noon Join this 2-hour workshop and learn the ancient art of wet felting — the process of transforming loose wool into felted fabric. This fiber art technique has been used in the making of rugs, homes (yurts) and clothing for centuries. And in this class, each student will make 2 felted soaps, with an option to create more in class for an additional materials fee. What are felted soaps? A felted soap is the union of felted wool covering a bar of soap, creating a gentle exfoliating soap that’s anti-microbial and long lasting. The wool wrapped around the soap becomes a seamless piece of felt and can be embellished with interesting patterns and colors. In this class, felting artist Sylviane Collier will take you step by step through the felting process, starting with creating a color palette and design using a wide selection of dyed merino wool. Each student will make 2 felted soaps. And, if time and interests permit, additional soaps will be available to felt for $8 each (this fee can be paid in cash to the instructor). You may also purchase the supplies for the same price to continue felting soaps at home. The soaps used for this class are made with all natural ingredients, scented with essential oils and made in the U.S. For allergies or soap preference, students are welcome to bring their own soaps to wrap. No experience necessary. Ages 8+ welcome.
