• Mayor Benoit and Mayor Pro-Tem Moore Speak to Elks

Over at the Elks Lodge Mayor Ben Benoit and Mayor Pro-Tem Bridgette Moore gave what I'm describing as a mini state of the city address. I was told that the Elks Lodge normally has a closed meeting every Tuesday, but when there is a 5th Tuesday in a month they invite guest speakers for what they call Brite Night.

 Ben Benoit looks on as Bridgette Moore discusses El Nino possibilities with the gathering.

I'm calling it a mini state of the city because I can tell that much of the info will be things covered at the official event that is coming next Wednesday, October 7th. The event is free, but if you're interested in attending, you're being asked to RSVP by October 2nd, and to use this website.

The only bit of info that really stood out for me tonight was that Wildomar's official headcount is now at 34,148. Also, there is still a lone holdout that is hanging up the drainage project over on Palomar. I asked for details, but such negotiations aren't things our electeds can share at the moment.

There are a couple more events coming up to make note of. In addition to the October 7th State of the City event, there is a movie in the park/tile painting fund raiser this Saturday at Marna O'Brien Park. It's going to be plenty warm enough, so be sure to come out to the last movie in the park of 2015. See flyers below for details.

Last year Wildomar had it's first Trick or Trunk park event. It was a rather well attended event and I'm guessing there will be at least as large a turnout as last year. If you have kids that trick or treat, this will be a great chance for them to try on their costumes a week early. Here's a link to last year's blog covering it.
