SUMMARY:Annual Salute to Military
DESCRIPTION:True Americans! \nMany of them didn’t ask to leave their homes to fight on distant battlefields. Many didn’t even volunteer. They didn’t go to war because\nthey loved fighting and they didn’t take extended vacations to far off lands out of enjoyment. Most importantly they didn’t separate themselves from their loved ones because distant makes the heart grow fonder. These were ordinary people who responded in extraordinary ways during extreme times throughout our nation’s history. These were the men and women of our Armed Services\, Veterans. We must continue to recognize their achievements\, commitment\, and continuous support for the future generations but most importantly we must “KEEP THE FAITH”. \nOur guest speaker will be Sergeant Major Ray McGinnis of the Wounded Warrior Battalion-West (Camp Pendleton). \nThe United States Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment provides and enables assistance to wounded\, ill and injured Marines\, sailors attached to or in support of Marine units\, and their family members in order to assist them as they return to duty or transition to civilian life. Their primary focus: rehabilitating the mind\, body and spirit. \n

SUMMARY:Marlee Ehrenfeld-City of San Diego 250th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating Where San Diego and California Began \nThis is an important year for the City of San Diego. On April 11\, 1769 the first seaborne contingent of a Spanish settlement arrived at a quiet harbor in San Diego aboard the ship San Antonio.  Just a scant three months later\, these Spanish soldiers and missionaries\, led by a Franciscan priest named Junipero Serra\, gathered amid oaks and coastal sage scrub to dedicate the founding of Mission San Diego de Alcala. The two events set into motion the first of 21 missions extending northward and the evolution of that calm harbor into a working Port. San Diego is believed to be the first permanent settlement in what is now California. \nLearn how this community-driven anniversary effort has resulted in a collaboration that includes civic leaders\, organizations\, community volunteers and Kumeyaay representatives. Thousands of residents and tourists have attended a series of events to reflect on our city’s history and leave a legacy for the future.  Please join us in celebrating San Diego’s 250th anniversary with a dynamic presentation that includes a short documentary of how the past 250 years have shaped our region. And learn about the events and celebrations yet to come as we honor San Diego’s colorful past and bright future.

SUMMARY:Ferry Zandvliet-Paris Terrorist Attack Survivor
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, November 13\, 2015\, Ferry attended a concert by the “The Eagles of Death Metal” at Le Bataclan Theatre in Paris. A terrorist attack during the concert took the lives of 89 fellow attendees and left 300 wounded. The emotional scars are felt by everyone who was there\, including Ferry.  It was a night that changed his life. \nChronic insomnia\, hyper-alertness\, anxiety and serious PTSS problems grew to dominate his life.  He noticed that while his immediate environment became harder and angrier\, he personally felt the opposite. The social hardening around him forced him to speak up; Ferry refused to be angry with the perpetrators\, nor did Ferry let fear overtake him. \nA week later\, Ferry again attended a concert\, and later formed a friendship with the father of one of the Bataclan terrorists. \nFerry will share his story of that night\, the aftermath\, and what he learned about himself and others.

SUMMARY:Linda Sheridan\, Founder & CEO-San Diego Cultural Arts Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Linda Sheridan’s talk will address using the power of art to change lives and to tell us about “Graffiti Art”; why it persists and what we need to understand in order to mitigate the destructive aspects of graffiti vandalism. \nThe San Diego Cultural Alliance ( The Alliance) takes the creative talent and need of the population that is driven to acts of graffiti vandalism and redirects that energy into something sustaining and beneficial to the community as well as to their individual lives. \nAs the CEO and Founder of The Alliance\, Linda has a 30-year history of working in both the public and private sector. From these experiences\, Linda readily recognized that educating youth and community is crucial in order to mitigate graffiti vandalism and tagging. With her combined years of government & political relations and arts background\, she has been instrumental in creating a fully comprehensive\, well designed and effective Graffiti Education and Mural Arts Program for the San Diego region. Linda has stated that her education in art has allowed her to see things from different perspectives and possibilities than an individual who has not had this training.
