Palomar Mountain News

It is such a beautiful sunny day today, kinda hard to believe snow is to be heading our way. 

A few days ago I had a fun message from a neighbor with lots of daffodils.  She invited me to stop by for a big bouquet. (That was very nice!  They are georgous!)  When a storm is predicted, she picks the flowers enjoy indoors instead of just letting them get trampled with the rain and snow.  Great idea! 

I also learned that daffodils bloom at different times.  Some on the Mountain have been beautiful for a couple of weeks.  Ours are just starting to come up.  But what we have, I’ll pick first thing in the morning  and look forward to planting some ‘early bloomers’ next winter. 

We often have snow on the ground for Easter week.  Enjoy and may you have a very Happy Easter.

 Mountain residents might be interested in filling out this survey regarding state parks before March 31.   Rosemary Johnston

Be a Part of Creating Excellence for State Parks!  You might be interested in responding to this survey about what you would like to see in State Parks. It would be good to mention that you would like to see the system adequately funded and expanding to accomodate our expanding population and to protect our unique natural resources and historic resources from expanding development and infrastructure.

 The Community of Palomar came through again!  Earl’s vision and putting his dream of a community center into action really came true.  The Celebration for the Grand Opening was a tremendous success.  And, like they say, behind every great man is a great woman so many thanks to Lousie too for supporting Earl and his Team in transforming a very tired old cabin into a sparkling Community Center.   Click for a quick slide show and keep reading for Tracey’s report.  Bonnie Phelps  

PALOMAR COMMUNITY HITS A HOME RUN!! WOW! The tally is in for the St Paddy’s Day Dinner & Auction Fundraiser.  $5,060.00 raised by the Community!  We not only covered the cost of the beautiful new furniture, but we managed to raise over and above our target. The extra we raised will go a long way to contributing to future running costs.  A big thank you to all the volunteers, community members, neigbors and friends who rallied together to make our fundraiser such a huge success. More photos coming soon.  Tracey Chesney
