Hello Santee!This week I had the pleasure of catching up with the Special Events Supervisor for the City of Santee, Jon Shellhammer, as he joined me and John Olsen, Realtor in another weekly episode of John's podcast, The Santee Update. 30 episodes in and I think I may have found my replacement as co-host! (Hopefully not, he's just that good!) Shellhammer, who has been with the city since 2015, had some exciting news: the Santee Summer Concert Series will return in June! In addition to that, they will also

Hello Santee!What a difference a year makes. Over Memorial Day weekend, the Chamber traditionally hosts the Santee Street Fair behind Trolley Square. For those who have attended in recent years and have had the privilege of viewing the "Remembering Our Fallen" exhibit, it has been our honor to pay homage in a small way to those who we've lost while serving our great country. I look forward to bringing this traveling, memorial exhibit back to Santee when possible. Last year when we cancelled the event, I

Hello Santee!As we transition back to more and more in-person events, it was my pleasure to host our first Business After 5 Mixer of 2021 at Carlton Oaks Golf Club last Wednesday night. To add to the fun, we joined forces with our friends and neighbors, the East County Chamber of Commerce. It was wonderful seeing so many members from both organizations and allowing for opportunities for our business communities to network and do what they do best: get back to business! EC Chamber's CEO, Rick Wilson, has

This week celebrates American Craft Beer Week! With the brewery industry being among many who have suffered throughout the pandemic, I felt it necessary to shine some light on those who are in Santee and we started at what is now the longest standing brewery, BNS Brewing & Distilling over off of North Woodside Avenue on Wheatlands Avenue. I grabbed a beer with some of my Magazine Committee and snagged a quick picture with one of their owners as we talked about their local favorite pour, Gunslinger. With

Hello Santee!Last week my husband and I had a chance to get up close and personal with the City of Santee's Fire Department. Unlike many of my interactions with EMS personnel in town, this was unexpected and unfortunately, a little unwelcomed to begin with. Our son dislocated his shoulder while playing in a high school water polo game. Although we never want to see our children get hurt, when they do, it feels comforting to be able to rely on the medical professionals around us. I am grateful for some

Hello Santee!On Monday I was able to join about 20 other Chamber Executives from the western region of the United States as we met to discuss and plan the next annual conference for the Western Association of Chamber Executives. About half of us were able to break off for dinner that evening, and I once again have to boast about the colleagues-turned-friends... it is so important to surround yourself with greatness if you aspire to also be great. I'm appreciative of my short, but impactful trip to Phoenix

Hello Santee!This week is the start of the school year... in some ways! The Santee School District has modified their hybrid learning model to now offer full-time instruction on campus for K-5th grade (junior high has extended hours now too but with modifications due to variations in their courses offered). For months, K-8 students have been broken into two cohorts, with schedules offered in either the morning or afternoon for just shy of three hours. This new extension in their program was a much-welcomed

Hello Santee!Last week San Diego encountered some rare history when East County native, Joe Musgrove, hit a no-hitter for the Padres. This away-game was watched by thousands as we watched in awe of this first-time experience for the 53-year-old team. I was among many at Sycuan Casino Resort, rooting for our home team; even luckier than most, my husband and I were invited as guests to stay in the incredible Padres Suite at their facility - what an amazing night to have been chosen for such a privilege!

Hello Santee,And hello Orange Tier! We have moved into a less restrictive order under the state and the County has finally been able to give an estimated timeframe of when we will be out of these tiers altogether as the Governor announced "Beyond the Blueprint" and the idea of retiring the entire tier system as early as June 15th. This is great news! As we ease back into some in-person gatherings, the Santee Chamber will resume some light networking opportunities. We started this past week with a low
Thursday, April 01, 2021Santee Chamber Weekly Update 01APR21
Hello Santee!This week I had the pleasure of getting some time carved out for me from my favorite Senator-turned-Supervisor, Joel Anderson. For those who have been paying attention even longer, you know he was also a State Assemblyman and served on the board for Padre Dam, making his political career stretch of over 20 years for our region! Be sure to check out The Santee Update podcast for more of our conversation. In my line of work, I end up interacting with elected officials somewhat regularly, yet

Hello Santee, This past week we celebrated St. Patrick's Day as San Diego County re-entered the red tier in the state's recovery plan. We saw restaurants able to reopen some of their indoor dining, gyms and fitness centers move back indoors, retail operations up their capacity to half of what it was a year ago and finally, some youth sports resume. I listened in on a weekly tele-briefing from the County on Wednesday where health officials predicted us moving into the next phase (yellow tier) around the

Hello Santee,It's been a long time since I've enjoyed some live entertainment on purpose! Going out for dinner and a show seems a thing of the past for many, but we are blessed with a winter that often requires only the addition of closed-toe shoes and a sweater. I was especially thankful for these bearable winter nights on this past Sunday as I was invited back to the darling Off Broadway Live. I caught the Fleetwood Mac edition of their Encore Supper Club with my mom in their outdoor theater (full with

Hello Santee,I'm curious to know how many of you out there used to commute from Santee into other parts of the county, and are now able to telecommute. As we reach the one year mark of this pandemic, I know several people who have transitioned into a new full-time routine from the comfort of their own home, myself included. As the Chamber did our part to slow the spread and not have staff in a place considered "non-essential" (as much as I beg to differ), we realized quickly that our commercial space wasn't
Thursday, March 04, 2021Santana High School - 20 Years Later
When people experience a traumatic event, the date of that event can sometimes live on with them, even plaguing them with anxiety as that date nears. For years, I have watched calendars end out the month of February and I immediately felt uneasy as we knowingly entered into the month of March. This year, that anxiety struck me a tad early as I sat in early February realizing that next month, March 5th marks the 20-year anniversary of the shooting at Santana High School. I'm not alone in the acknowledgement

Hello Santee!I am always aware of how wonderful it is to live and work in a community where business relationships turn into friendships. There is a wave of young professionals around town and within our region who are my colleagues, my teachers, my motivation and my friends. These people are the catalyst, conveners and champions for a stronger Santee and they live out the mission of their work through their everyday being. We are pretty lucky... in fact, we are lottery winners if you think about it. We

Hello Santee!Outdoor dining resuming has given me so much joy this week! It's funny how much perspective I've gained and gratitude I have for the things I easily took for granted pre-pandemic. While at Junction 52 yesterday, I saw members from Mission Realty Group, Three Frogs Brewing, 5 Diamond Mechanical, Sportsplex USA, TDT Construction and Movement Mortgage, not to mention my lunch dates from the County of San Diego and the ECEDC! It made for quite the clubhouse feel and I loved every bit of it. The day

This time of year is usually a really exciting time for me professionally. Over the past few years I have been lucky enough to be plugged into a chamber networking group that I have come to love and adore: the Western Association of Chamber Executives. Wednesday through Friday of this week is their annual conference where hundreds of chamber professionals gather to connect, share and grow together and as we strengthen ourselves for our communities. Last year the conference was held in Portland and this

Hello Santee!As of Monday, the state has lifted the regional stay-at-home order and we are back into the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, placing San Diego County back into the Purple Tier of the plan.

Hello Santee! Yesterday I was invited to join a video call with several other East County chamber executives. Although we too have "Zoom fatigue" and are eager to meet in person, I always feel recharged being in the presence of those who share my line of work. With some hope on the horizon for the pandemic to be nearing its end, we know economic recovery is still years beyond us. As a region, it is more important than ever to band together and build our business community back up and I am so thankful for

Hello Santee! We are finally in the new year although it doesn’t quite seem like 2020 is “over”. Changing the calendar over does, however, provide comfort in knowing we can set new goals, priorities and hopes for the future. Something I love about the new year is new opportunity. This comes in many forms as the universe always seems to provide… or in this case, the state: California announced a new COVID Relief Grant Program for small business and the application process is open. If you are a small

Hello Santee! And GOODBYE 2020!I don't have the ability to describe what kind of a year this has been because it has truly impacted people so differently depending on their personal walk of life. To say it has been hard is an understatement, and I feel like often times I am still trying to catch my breath. The Chamber has decided to keep its leadership team intact going into 2021. What does this mean? Our Board of Directors has rotations each year (some leave after terms have been served, some are welcomed

Hello Santee!This week has been quite the rollercoaster as the stay-at-home orders for Southern California came into effect on Monday. What does this mean for us? Well, as residents maybe not much has changed. As business owners, they are faced (yet again) with a hurdle to jump and I hope they all make it over... this pandemic has caused irreversible damage on our business community and we need to help. I urge you to contact our local Senator, requesting help now to assist small business, the community and

Hello Santee!A friend recently shared an article with me titled “Why Shopping Local Matters”. I read it and every single word resonated with me. I know how tempting it is to use the easy online shopping tools available to us all. It’s quick, easy, pretty reliable and honestly, probably an app on our phones with our banking and shipping information already inputted. However, keeping your dollars in your hometown has other advantages that are just as important, even if they’re not immediately apparent. In the

Hello Santee!With a short work-week coming to an end for some today, I thought I'd attempt to keep my message short as well (good luck!). Thanksgiving is clearly a time to show gratitude and I've been seeing so many uplifting posts the past week of what you are all thankful for. In the spirit of the holiday, I'm jumping on the bandwagon! I'm thankful for a lot, but the top of my brain forces me to share what's right there and obvious which is my health, my family and my job.

Hello Santee!Another week passed in this crazy year... San Diego County is back in the State's Purple Tier and we still don't have all of our election results. How do we take these circumstances that are out of our control and make them into something more worthwhile? Although I don't have all the answers, I do have what I think is a fun new endeavor. For those of you who know John Olsen, you know he's very well-rooted in Santee. As my former boss at the Chamber, he understands so much of what I do on a

Hello Santee!Veterans Day 2020… where were you? I was here, in Santee, the town we all know and love. But before Veterans day, just last Friday, the Santee Chamber hosted a day on the golf course at Carlton Oaks where we honored local Veterans with sponsors paying for their day on the greens. It has quickly become a favorite workday of mine to be on the course all day and find a way to salute our military heroes in a fun way. I loved having involvement from big sponsors like Lennar to make the day possible,

Hello Santee!I love the phrase “ride or die". I often hear it applied to people in friendships or personal relationships and I too have caught myself using it among friends. Luckily for me, a lot of people I work with aren’t just business associates, but also friends. We have shared interests and hobbies and all have similar visions for what we want Santee to become. Mike Aiken at Carlton Oaks is one that I am now able to call a friend. A few years ago, we didn’t even know each other. He retired from the

Hello Santee!Better late than never... the end of last week came and went so quickly I missed sending this out! Halloween, much like so many other celebrations this year, looked quite different in Santee. The City of Santee hosted a first-of-its-kind Trucks & Treats event to keep social distancing in place and still offer some family fun for the community. As we wrap up Halloween celebrations, I know the "holiday season" is now truly upon us. With everything being so modified this year and disappointments

Hello Santee!As we near closer and closer to the election, I've heard from many people around town on how they are voting and what really matters to them. For me, it's a personal privilege to vote and I've been proud to do so since turning 18. Working at the Chamber has broadened my views, not only on candidates seeking seats but also on issues and the direct impacts they have on our community, and more specifically our businesses. This year our Chamber brought back a Political Task Force, set into motion

Although this week has escaped me, I must turn back to a few days ago and be grateful that some of this time warp is due to me stepping away for a long weekend that extended into Monday. For those who follow me on social media, you may have already seen that I took a trip with my mother to Chicago; I love that city so much and

Especially those local to us; I have found great joy in personally knowing those who serve in areas such as City Council, School Boards, Water Boards and those who extend throughout our region in their elected roles. Knowing these leaders opens up

As I am writing this, the Valley Fire in the Alpine area is less than 15% contained and the damage is over 1700 acres. Unfortunately, this is not something new to California, let alone Southern California.

Hello Santee!A little over three years ago, there was a young lady in town who had recently won the title of Miss Santee. She had worked HARD for this title, competing year after year and never giving up. She took the critiques received and chose to improve herself, constantly finding strength in the ability to grow. She was working two part-time jobs at the time with other Chamber members... early mornings at GTM stocking shelves and afternoons with the Santee School District in the Project Safe program.

Hello Santee!How are you all surviving this heatwave? With SDG&E asking for us toe cut down usage in hopes to avoid rolling blackouts, I have to quickly say "THANK YOU" to those who were able to conserve. As many of us are still working from home and now have children by our sides in their newly formatted distance learning, it's not easy (and I'm sure not preferred) but as I've seen, heard and said about a thousand times by now, "We are all in this together". On another note, I've been spending a lot of

Hello Santee!Good Monday to you all, Better late than never! Last week was a time of catching up and new understandings. Somehow as people keep using the phrase "new normal" I still can't manage to find mine. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that our normal doesn't feel "right". With much anxiety about school resuming, it was nice to ACTUALLY have something normal take place: A great experience using services from a Chamber Member.

(Hand Raised)It can seem like each passing week is a page out of a Dr. Seuss book. “I would not like to meet on Zoom, I much prefer to share a room” Every part of our lives and businesses have been flipped topsey turvey and each day brings a new stress to soak in, a new hurdle overcome, a new opinion to digest… all of which seem to ebb and flow the next 24 hours.

It first hit him in the left elbow, then in the right side of his face, entering his jaw and exiting through his nose. At the time he was acting as the Assault Force Commander. Their mission was to capture a "high-value Al-Qaeda operative”. In all, Redman was shot seven times to the face and

On Monday, the County of San Diego entered the states watchlist and they soon after announced new regulations to be in effect for three weeks minimum which heavily impact the restaurant and family entertainment business industries.
