That's why the DEA created its National Take Back Initiative which encourages folks from across the country clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - unneeded and expired prescription drugs. There are 28 locations participating in San Diego County on Saturday October 26, 2024 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Visit: https://apps.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/NTBI/ntbi.do?_flowId=public-lite-flow DEA-Drug Enforcement Admin on Instagram and Facebook

“The Pleasure of Your Company” concert series, sponsored by Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library, welcomes back celebrated pianist Dmitry Kirichenko on Sunday, October 20, at 2:30 p.m. His playing, described by Paris music critic Claude Taelman as “warm sensitivity heightened by his delicate touch and great technical mastery,” is a perfect match for the Library’s fine Schimmel piano. His program, which will include works by Mozart, Schubert, and Chopin, is offered in memory of basketball great, Bill Walton, one of Dr. Kirichenko’s piano students (who incidentally came to hear his teacher perform in earlier concerts of this series). A graduate of the Moscow and Odessa Conservatories, Dr. Kirichenko has performed throughout Europe and the United States. There is no charge for the concert, although donations are appreciated. Due to the current surge in COVID cases, masks are recommended although not required. Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center is located at 10301 Scripps Lake Drive near Miramar Lake.
