DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS
- All tickets for the Community ATV Fun Ride have been sold. If you are lucky enough to have a ticket don’t forget to bring along goggles, dust mask, reading glasses, pen/pencil and cash for raffle tickets and refreshments en route.
gordonandjoy@gmail.com - The Rotary Club of Barriles is organizing its annual Christmas Blanket and Toy Drive. Last year, they reached out to 550 children in surrounding towns. They are collecting toys and blankets throughout the town with donation boxes placed at various local businesses. We kindly ask for your support by donating at these boxes or contributing funds by contacting Rotarian Rusty Kilkenny who is leading the project, at rustykilkenny@yahoo.com, or any local Rotarian you may know. This year’s goal is to assist over 600 children in nine surrounding towns and villages. This initiative is for the children, so please make an effort to make a difference in a child’s life!
- With regret, the 2025 Eastside Epic Bike Race has been cancelled. (Due to an increase in traffic concerns) Thanks to our Epic Sponsors, 100% of each season’s entry fees and donations went back into this Epic community. Please consider acting on any way you feel might help send the message of appreciation for this special place by donating to any of our worthy local non profits. The Guild was our choice for the great work they do for continuing education. Gracias por el viaje. www.eastsideepic.com
- “For many seasons, the area in front of Playa Norte RV Park has been used as a spot to leave compostable waste for the cows. While this has given people a sense of repurposing their garbage and helping the cows, it has also led to unintended consequences. The cows have become accustomed to finding food at Playa Norte RV Park. When no food is left for them, they have started venturing through the beach gates, the arroyo, and scaling low fences. They’ve even figured out how to navigate the cattle guard. Once inside, they cause significant destruction—outdoor kitchens are wrecked, long-tended plants are ruined, furniture is broken, and household items are damaged. This behavior isn’t the cows’ fault. They’re simply acting on their instincts. It’s up to humans to change this situation. Please stop feeding the cows. This will encourage them to return to their natural grazing patterns, independent of human intervention. Playa Norte RV Park covers the costs of manure removal and damage repairs, while the owner of the cows refuses to take responsibility. Let’s work together to prevent further issues by no longer attracting the cows to this area.” Thanks, Cynthia 415-497-1424
