Latino Youth Council & Youth Voice Mid City Town Hall Mtg


Hello my name is Officer George Cesena working in partnership with Mid City Youth Voice. On the 23rd of March 2010, Mid City "Youth Voice" and Mid City Latino Youth Council, collaborated by presenting together their 1st Town Hall Meeting. This year a series of Town Hall Meeting were held across America that week. It was a part of a nation-wide effort to prevent underage drinking. The event was held at Monroe Clarke Middle School and it was a huge success with both Youth groups leading the way. Debbie Pelkey, the Youth Voice members and I, would like to thank Claudia Baltazar and Yvette Huerta from the Latino Youth Council for allowing us to be part of this event and we look forward to more events in the near future.. Youth Voice would also like to thank the Mid City community parents for coming out and participating in the event. After the event we all posed together for a photo and we all look awesome.. I threw in a few other pics. Once again,
THANK YOU " Gracias".
YOUTH VOICE !! HOOAH !!

19th Annual Teddy Bear Drive









The San Diego Regional Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive is a unique and compassionate program. The Teddy Bear Drive has developed into an annual event involving local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, the San Diego Chargers, and other sponsors. Each year, law enforcement agencies around San Diego County seek donations of stuffed animals through community events. At the end of the year, all the stuffed animals are delivered to Rady Children's Hospital by police caravan. Although it is called the Teddy Bear Drive, any type of new, unused stuffed animals are welcomed. Standard size stuffed animals that the children can hug and keep in their beds are greatly appreciated. Also remember there are children of all ages at the hospital, so new born and toddler stuffed animals are also needed. Please note that due to infection control among the recipients, donated items must be new and unused with the purchase tag still attached.

DROP OFF LOCATION FOR THE CITY HEIGHTS (MID CITY) AREA IS AT THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT MID CITY SUBSTATION, 4310 LANDIS STREET, SAN DIEGO, CA, 92105.

Monetary donations are also accepted and enable organizers to purchase large quantities of stuffed animals at a discounted price from participating vendors and businesses. If you are interested in providing a monetary donation or for more information please contact Amanda Austin at Rady Children's Hospital or the host agency representative Officer Christine Sperry at Csperry@portofsandiego.org or 619-686-6501 ext 3731.
