THANK YOU DEL MAR

February 2026

Each Fall, the Del Mar Community Alliance (DMCA) asks neighbors and friends to make donations that will allow us to continue publication and distribution of the Sandpiper – Del Mar’s only community journal and an important source of information. With elections coming up in 2026, the Sandpiper will be more important than ever before. In Fall 2025, the DMCA campaign was inspired by a generous $9,000 matching gift offer from Jeff Barnouw. The community responded generously, and with the leadership of longtime supporter Rosanne Rennie Holliday and the DMCA Board volunteers, DMCA received 61 donations totaling $40,915. These funds will allow the Sandpiper to continue bringing Del Mar the accurate, timely, lively community news that helps make our town such a special and desirable place to live. Thank you, Jeff, and thank you to all our donors!
