SUMMARY:Let There Be Lights at the Villages of SLO
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, December 4th\, 2020\, at 6:00 p.m.\, The Villages of San Luis Obispo will be instantly transformed by a dazzling display of holiday lights. Intentionally designed to be enjoyed as a drive-through event\, the press is invited to attend this socially-distanced\, Covid-safe event at 55 Broad Street in San Luis Obispo. A longstanding local retirement community\, The Villages includes Independent Living\, Assisted Living and Memory Care. \n“In the year of Covid-19\, we wanted to do something to take the place of our annual holiday open house\,” said Villages Vice President of Operations\, Lisa Hulse. “At a time when inside gatherings are not safe\, we wanted our residents and their families to see and feel the joy of the season just the same.” \nBetween 6 and 7 p.m.\, Villages residents will enjoy refreshments from an outdoor Hot Cocoa and Spiked Eggnog bar\, while Dickens’ carolers from A Wish Your Heart Makes entertain. Saint Nick has promised to make a special appearance\, too. \nThe Light Up The Villages lights display will remain in place all month\, from December 4th to January 6th and the public is invited to drive through it any night after dark until 9 p.m.

SUMMARY:12 PM | Working Lunch with Sister Theresa Harpin
DESCRIPTION:Order takeout from your favorite local restaurant and join us this Friday from 12 – 12:30 PM on Facebook LIVE for a stimulating conversation with SLO Chamber President/CEO\, Jim Dantona and Restorative Partners founder\, Sister Theresa Harpin! \nSister Theresa Harpin has dedicated much of her life to social and restorative justice work. In 2006\, she joined the staff of the Center for Restorative Justice Works and initiated and exponentially grew the Get on the Bus program in San Luis Obispo — which reunites children with their incarcerated dads at the California Men’s Colony. Transformed and motivated by this experience\, Sister Theresa joined forces with the San Luis Obispo’s Sheriff’s Office and Probation Department to launch Restorative Partners\, a nonprofit agency that offers healing and help to all those impacted by crime in our county. Since the organization launched in 2011\, it has grown to include mentorship programs\, vocational training programs\, two recovery homes in Los Osos\, the opening of their Paso Robles Anna’s Home for women and children\, and their State Parolee housing and outpatient services in San Luis Obispo. In addition to leading Restorative Partners\, Sister Harpin is a certified facilitator for Alternatives to Violence Project\, Victim Offender Dialogues\, Aggression Replacement Training and Thinking for A Change Programs.

SUMMARY:7:30 AM | Virtual Good Morning SLO - January 2021
DESCRIPTION:View this month’s Good Morning SLO flyers HERE. \n\nGrab breakfast and coffee and join us for our first Good Morning SLO program of 2021. To preserve some community connection in this time of being apart\, you’ll have the chance to interact with speakers by asking your most pressing questions. Zoom invite will be sent upon registration. \nThank you to this month’s featured sponsor: \n \n\nJanuary topics include: \nSLO COUNTY’S V-TEAM\nSLO County is rapidly progressing through Phase 1 of vaccine distribution and has engaged a task force of nonprofit\, private and public sector professionals to help interpret the ever-evolving state and national guidance. Jen Miller\, the Vaccine Task Force Coordinator\, will share the latest on their work and what we can expect in the near future. \n\nCALIFORNIA EXODUS?\nIt seems as if every week there is another article extolling\, lamenting or arguing about the masses fleeing California for greener pastures. Jordan Levine\, Vice President & Chief Economist for the California Association of Realtors\, will break down the data\, discuss the drivers and touch on what we are actually seeing on the Central Coast.\n \n\nADVANCING DE&I\nAmid the national movement for racial equity and justice\, the City of SLO declared racism a public health emergency and created a task force to advance diversity\, equity and inclusion in San Luis Obispo. Beya Montero-Makekau\, who helped guide this group\, will offer a look back at where they’ve been and their recommendations for the future. \n\nI AM SOMEBODY\nAlong with excitement\, tectonic life changes can bring up questions about identity\, self-worth and purpose. Through his work with Wilshire Health and Community Services\, Bill Degnan provides a safe place to explore those feelings. He will share wisdom he’s gleaned from years of conversation and tools we can all use as we navigate our current shifting landscape. \n\nCOVID\, WILDLIFE & BEARS\, OH MY!\nThis last year has seen more people out of their cars and into nature\, potentially affecting the wildlife that inhabits it. Dave Hacker\, Senior Environmental Scientist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife\, and the person responsible for “darting” the Los Osos bear\, will help us understand wildlife trends and share what happened when a bear returned to it’s namesake valley. \n\nA HOLIDAY RETAIL REVIEW\nReports of the holiday season are showing better than expected retail numbers\, especially from online sales. Jenny Kompolt\, co-owner of Junk Girls will share a review of what the holiday season looked like from the ground\, shopping trends they’re seeing\, and how the team is adapting to the ever-changing retail landscape. \n  \n\nThank you to our 2021 Annual Sponsors:​
