The Champagne and Chocolate Open House is an annual event for seniors and those who care about them to come to our headquarters, connect with the DMCC community and enjoy some bubbly and chocolate on us. On Friday, February 14, we hope we’ll see you at the Del Mar Community Building (225 9th St) between 2 and 4pm. This is a great opportunity to meet DMCC’s participants, volunteers, community partners, and staff, and to learn more about what we do. Bring your questions and ideas! We’ll also have volunteers on hand performing blood pressure screenings as part of San Diego County Love Your Heart week. Please register so we can supply enough treats for everyone: www.dmcc.cc/champagneandchocolate
Talking Taxes
On Tuesday, February 25 at 10am, DMCC Treasurer Wayne Otchis, a retired accountant who ran his own local tax preparation service for decades, will appear at Del Mar Town Hall (1050 Camino Del Mar) to make a presentation about what Del Mar seniors need to know as they prepare their 2024 taxes and plan their 2025 finances. He will review changes in tax laws at the federal and state level, and he will be available for questions. Please register at www.dmcc.cc/programregistration
Volunteer of the Month
DMCC’s Volunteer of the Month for December 2024 was Donna Shaw. Donna is a key member of DMCC’s Tuesday Lunch Connections (TLC) team, which operates the twice-monthly luncheon for the older adults in Del Mar who are most vulnerable to isolation. Donna carefully plans beautiful table decorations and delicious desserts for participants to enjoy. Donna was nominated by TLC Team Captain Phyllis Mirsky.
