Your community newspaper brought to life.
Good Morning SLO is our platform for sharing ideas, news and inspiration. A monthly program that brings community leaders, business owners, nonprofit executives and staffers together, and enables us to reconnect, engage and learn from each other.
Our goal is to provide insight into business, community and legislative issues and share the stories of those making a difference. We want audience members to leave with ideas and information about how to better their personal and professional lives.
Good Morning SLO happens on the fourth Thursday of every month except November when it is on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
AN UPDATE FROM CUESTA COLLEGE
Students at every level had to learn to navigate the pandemic in different ways. The students at Cuesta College are no exception. Instruction has returned to in-person, but student participation has changed. The Cuesta College Associated Student President, Darius Jones, will be joining us to tell us how education and campus life has altered.
FEEDING THOSE IN NEED
Inflation has made all of our lives more expensive, but it has been especially devastating for those barely getting by. The SLO Food Bank has seen both its client pool grow and the prices to purchase vital food supplies increase. Garret Olson, CEO for the SLO Food Bank, will talk about how they are managing through this new crisis.
A TOUR OF HONOR
Taking a moment to pause and be grateful to our Central Coast heroes is more important now than it’s ever been. We invited Robert Tolan, Vice Chairman of Honor Flight Central Coast to share their best stories and celebrate their work bringing local veterans to DC to experience their memorials.
HOLIDAY CHEER IS HERE
The holidays have always been a wonderful time to experience downtown, but the pandemic created an opportunity to think creatively about new ways to celebrate. Those changes have made this holiday season bigger and better than ever. We asked Downtown SLO’s Bettina Swigger to come share what this year’s plans have in store.
PREVENTING PRETERM LABOR
Preterm labor is the leading cause of death for infants under the age of one. Donald Lee was facing that reality when his wife went into labor at 24 weeks. Fortunately, Donald’s family pulled through, but the experience inspired him to help others facing the same dilemma. Donald will join us to share his journey to creating Novocuff, a device that can save lives.
SERVING UP TRADITION
Pumpkin pie, roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy. These dishes have become synonymous with Thanksgiving, but have you ever stopped to think of why? We asked local food writer Jaime Lewis to dish up the stories behind the fare we take for granted when we sit down to give gratitude.
MELODY’S MELODIES
The Chamber’s familiar, resident singer-songwriter Melody Klemin will close out Good Morning SLO for 2022 with a holiday-inspired medley and some musical joy.
