Letter to the Editor: Arlene Prater

A big shout out to the writers and editors who have been volunteering for almost three decades to produce the only paper in print that focuses exclusively on things Del Mar. I keep the Sandpiper on my desk all month to remind myself of all of the goings on that make this community special: its people, community-based organization projects, government processes, grass roots activities, cultural events, and especially our many efforts to protect our natural resources.

At a time when many of our institutions, liberties, facts, and the free press are under attack, it is very reassuring that the Sandpiper is honoring its mission to support our Community Plan with reliable information and reasoned opinion. I am very proud that our little community continues to be a kind of refuge where we can work, play, agree, and disagree constructively.

The Sandpiper plays a critical role in the fabric of Del Mar. That is why my family makes it a top priority to donate to help pay the costs of producing the Sandpiper. I hope that other families will be similarly motivated to donate generously.
