Support 4th of July Fireworks at Casino Night on March 12th

“Casino Night”, the annual fundraiser to support the Mira Mesa Community 4th of July, returns this year with the theme “Mardi Gras”. 
Casino Night is scheduled for Friday, March 12, beginning at 5 p.m. The Country Inn and Suites, 5975 Lusk Blvd., will again be the site of this fun-filled fund-raiser.
This year, Casino Night will get a boost from the Mira Mesa Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber is committed to supporting the Mira Mesa Community, and the annual 4th of July event is one of Mira Mesa’s most popular community events. The event is also an excellent chance for Mira Mesa businesses to say “thank you” to their employees and clients, by sponsoring a game table or auction item.
Businesses and individuals interested in sponsoring game tables can download a sponsorship form from the Mira Mesa Town Council website. Additionally, auction items are being sought for Casino Night and donors will receive tickets to the event. Donation forms are also available at the MMTC website.
For additional information, or to sponsor a table or donate an auction item, contact Bonnie Apple at 858-784-3676 or Bonnie.Apple@expresspros.com, or Sandy Smith at 858-361-5229 or sandysmt@san.rr.com.
Mira Mesa Farmer’s Market is Back!

After a couple month winter hiatus, the Mira Mesa Farmer’s Market is back open and ready for business.
If you are looking for some farm fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers, specialty foods, farm fresh eggs, fish, baked goods, cheeses, olive oils, honey, jams and jellies, arts & crafts, boutique items, clothing, accessories, and more… then make sure you stop by each week.
The Market is open every Tuesday from 3-6pm and I believe it will be staying open until 7 with the next time change.
It is located right in front of Mira Mesa High School at the corner of Mira Mesa Blvd. and Reagan Rd.
Sandy Smith – Mira Mesa 2009 Volunteer of the Year

We would like to congratulate Sandy Smith for being the 2009 Volunteer of the Year in Mira Mesa. Sandy has been a very active volunteer in the community for many years now, and this annual award is very well deserved.
She is the current chairperson (last year as well) of the 4th of July Committee and has been a very active member for several years. You would think that that alone would be enough volunteer work for one person, as it takes a ton of effort to put on events to raise money and organize the festivities of the 4th of July, but she does that and so much more.
I could go on and on about the different groups and committees she is on and been on, so instead… I will just list the groups she has been a member of over the years. She is still active in many of these groups and is serving on the board of some as well. I am sure I probably missed a few, but you’ll see why she is so deserving of being the Mira Mesa Volunteer of the Year for 2009…

Circus Vargas (California’s Own Circus) is heading to Mira Mesa. If you are looking for some dazzling visual entertainment and a lot of laughs, then you don’t want to miss this year’s show.
Newly overhauled for 2010, complete with a brand new Big Top Tent, Circus Vargas should be a sure hit for your entire family.
Make sure to get there early so your kids can participate in the FREE interactive pre-show. It will be hosted by Jon Weiss, Reality Star from CBS’s “Amazing Race”. Your kids will be be allowed in the center ring under the Big Top to get a feel of what it is like to be in the circus. Jon will be guiding everyone in a quick course on some circus performing basics like; juggling, feather balancing and learning to hula-hoop! You definitely don’t want to miss that.
You can purchase tickets online at their website or at the event itself. You can also find $5.00 Off Child Discount Coupons at many businesses around Mira Mesa, so make sure to look for those next time you are out shopping.
