as

the "United States Coast Guard Sector San

Diego 80th Anniversary Day" in the City of

San Diego! A very special thank you to Cap-

tain Joseph Buzzella, Commander Michael

Frawley and Seaman Carla Bowen for accept-

ing our Proclamation.

Great time talking #bikes with High Tech Elementary (HTe) 5th graders. Our next generation wants safe bike paths so I also showed them how to report potholes.

It was a pleasure meet-ing the residents of the Orchard Senior Living apartments. We dis-cussed ways the City of San Diego can serve them better and make their neighborhood more livable for sen-iors.
