Navigating San Diego’s

2024 Real Estate Boom

INSIGHTS FROM KERRY APPLEBY

Del Mar Estate

In San Diego’s tumultuous real estate market, Kerry

Appleby from Appleby Family Group offers valuable

perspectives on the trends shaping 2024. With

a finger on the market’s pulse, Kerry delves into

notable trends, North County’s performance, and

imparts expert advice for both buyers and sellers.

The housing shortage and low inventory create

a favorable climate for sellers, especially with

mortgage rates expected to settle around 6% - 7%

by spring. Despite strong buyer demand, Kerry

emphasizes the need for realistic pricing to optimize

opportunities for sellers.

In North County, sellers maintain a slight advantage

overall, while Rancho Santa Fe sees a shift in favor of

buyers. Notably, price reductions in larger estates make

sellers more open to negotiations. Coastal markets like

Point Loma, La Jolla, and Del Mar remain popular, with

Carmel Valley leading as the fastest-moving market.

As the San Diego market propels into 2024, Kerry

Appleby underscores the intricate dynamics

influencing both buyers and sellers. The current surge

in home prices, averaging $912K as of December 2023,

lays the groundwork for what promises to be a pivotal

year for San Diego’s real estate sector.


Bolstered by a forecast

predicting an 11.0% uptick

in home sales and a 5.4%

rise in median sales prices,

San Diego is poised to

secure its position as the

fourth-strongest U.S. real

estate market in 2024.

A testament to the city’s

desirability, this forecast is

music to the ears of both

buyers and sellers.

On the seller’s front, Kerry

stresses the significance of

pre-market preparations.

Collaborating with a network

of professionals, Appleby

Family Group assists sellers in

making cosmetic renovations,

decluttering, and presenting

their homes in the best possible

light. The advice extends to

downsizing sellers, encouraging

them to consider consignment

and donation options to meet the

high demand for turn-key homes.

Andrew, Kerry and Scott Appleby

The San Diego real estate market requires

a blend of market knowledge, strategic

planning, and community engagement.

The success of Appleby Family Group is not only rooted in market

expertise but also in the strength of relationships with fellow

agents. Kerry highlights the strategic advantage gained through

weekly communication with other agents, providing early access

to market insights and off-market listings.

In a city known for its diverse

neighborhoods and scenic

beauty, navigating the San

Diego real estate market

requires a blend of market

knowledge, strategic planning,

and community engagement.

As the Appleby Family Group

remains a trusted ally in this

dynamic landscape, Kerry

Appleby’s insights serve as a

valuable compass for those

navigating the exciting and

competitive San Diego real

estate scene in 2024.

A New Mission for Veterans

Corporate partner Boeing provided

$150,000 to support training women

In the vibrant Barrio Logan neighborhood just

south of downtown San Diego, a unique initiative

has taken root - one that addresses the challenges

veterans face when transitioning from activeduty,

while also contributing to

the revitalization of American

manufacturing. Workshops

for Warriors (WFW), spearheaded

by 15-year Navy combat veteran

Hernán Luis y Prado, is emblematic

of what our military veterans can

achieve when provided with a new

skillset and opportunities that open doors to wellpaying

careers after service.

Luis y Prado founded Workshops for Warriors as a

solution to the transition struggles many veterans


Approximately

200,000 people

military every year.

encounter when leaving the military. Established

in 2008, the organization provides veterans with

training in welding, machining, and advanced

manufacturing. Beyond technical proficiency and

portable certifications, WFW provides

its students with wrap-around services

that include food, clothing, housing if

needed, financial aid, and soft-skills

learning sessions. To date, more than

1,207 veterans have graduated from

the school with more than 14,400

advanced manufacturing credentials.

More than just a training ground, Workshops for

Warriors serves as a launching pad for veterans

seeking meaningful careers in an industry desperate

HAAS Technical Education Center

U.S. military every year, while more than 803,000

manufacturing jobs are currently unfilled due to a

lack of skilled labor. WFW is actively closing the

gap between military and civilian employment;

at the same time, it is creating a skilled workforce

primed to contribute to the resurgence of American

manufacturing.

To ensure WFW receives steady funding, Luis y

Prado started VetPowered, a for-profit enterprise

and registered apprenticeship program that counts

companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and

Northrop Grumman among its clients for machining,

fabrication, and machinery repair

contracts. VetPowered provides an

important link connecting industry

leaders eager to support veterans

while fulfilling a significant need in

the manufacturing industry. These

partnerships not only aid veterans

in their transition, but it also plays

a pivotal role in fortifying American

manufacturing.

Join us at the

annual gala on

September 14,

2024, on the

iconic USS

Midway for an evening of inspiration. Meet students

and learn how you can make a meaningful impact on

the lives and future veterans as they become skilled

workers for American manufacturing.

Workshops for Warriors is changing veterans’ lives

every day, empowering veterans to rebuild their

Education

Southwestern College Alumni

DEFYING STEREOTYPES, EXCELING IN

NON-TRADITIONAL PROFESSIONS

In a world

where

gender

stereotypes

Dennise Gurmilan

often dictate

career

choices, three remarkable women, who are all

Southwestern College (SWC) alums, are challenging

norms and excelling in professions traditionally

dominated by men. Their journeys showcase the

transformative power of education, determination, and

breaking barriers.

Dennise Gurmilan, an Architecture & Planning

Professional at Gensler, vividly remembers her journey

at SWC. “Southwestern College was more than just an

academic institution to me; it is where I discovered a

career I wanted

to pursue,”

says Gurmilan.

Throughout her

time at SWC, she

found unwavering

support from the community, which inspired her

to give back. Today, Gurmilan is helping create

internships for SWC students, aiming to provide the

same opportunities she once received. Her dedication

to mentoring the next generation of architects speaks

volumes about the impact of her SWC experience.

Moreover, Gurmilan’s journey highlights the

importance of representation in non-traditional fields,

inspiring others to pursue their passions regardless of

societal expectations.


Anitra Willis

Anitra Willis, currently serving

as the Director of Enrollment

Management Technology Services

at UC San Diego found her path

to success through SWC’s Career

Center. “Being a first-generation,

low-income student, the SWC

Student Career Center was

tremendous in helping introduce

and guide me,” she shares. Willis

credits SWC for igniting her

passion for technology, leading

her to a fulfilling career and

various community initiatives.

Her journey from SWC to UC

San Diego stands as a testament

to the transformative impact of

education and mentorship. Willis’s

commitment to giving back to the

community through mentorship

programs and educational initiatives

underscores her belief in the power

of education to uplift individuals and

communities. Additionally, Willis’s

advocacy for diversity and inclusion in

the tech industry serves as a beacon of

inspiration for underrepresented groups

aspiring to enter STEM fields.

Roxana Kennedy, Chief of Police in the City of Chula Vista, is

a trailblazer in law enforcement. A graduate of the SWC Police

Academy, Kennedy’s journey to leadership embodies resilience

and innovation. “I am forever grateful to Southwestern College

for the experiences and exceptional instructors who invested

in me,” says Kennedy. Under her guidance, the Chula Vista

Police Department has embraced technology, community

engagement, and transparency, transforming it into an agency

that empowers and connects. Her commitment to professional

growth and community welfare extends beyond law

enforcement, as she actively participates in various nonprofit

organizations and international medical missions. Kennedy’s

leadership at the forefront of modern law enforcement

exemplifies the values instilled by SWC, emphasizing integrity,

inclusivity, and service to the community. Moreover, Kennedy’s

success underscores the importance of diversity in law

enforcement leadership, paving the way for more inclusive and

community-centered policing practices.

These remarkable women

alumni exemplify SWC’s

commitment to fostering

excellence and breaking

barriers. Their stories serve

as inspiring examples of

resilience, determination,

and the transformative

power of education.

Through their dedication

and leadership, they inspire

future generations to pursue

their passions, challenge

stereotypes, and make a

positive impact on their

communities.

At a time when diversity and

inclusion are paramount,

Southwestern College

Chief Roxana Kennedy

takes pride in nurturing

individuals like Dennise

Gurmilan, Anitra Willis, and Roxana Kennedy, who embody the spirit

of breaking barriers and paving the way for a more equitable future.

If you are a Southwestern College alum, you too can inspire

and empower through your story, your actions, and your

contributions. Reach out to join in lifting up the next

generation of Southwestern College students please visit

College Friends Turned

Philanthropic Behemoths

Jacobsen and Kilkenny at Lucky Duck

Foundation’s 2023 Showcase Soiree

Insurance magnate Pat Kilkenny and professional

golfer Peter Jacobsen’s friendship started like

many others. They were fraternity brothers at the

University of Oregon, eager to find their places

in the world and make an impact. But that is

where the normalcy ends. They both achieved in

making an impact to such an extent that decades

later they each have major athletic facilities at their

alma mater named after them: “Kilkenny Floor,”

Oregon’s iconic basketball court; “PK Park,” Oregon’s

world class baseball stadium; and “The Peter and Jan

Jacobsen Oregon Golf Teaching Facility,” Oregon’s

brand-new state of the art golf facility.

As one would expect, these honors followed many

decades of collectively donating tens of millions of

dollars to charitable causes.

It started when Jacobsen serendipitously teed up

Kilkenny to make his first philanthropic gift at the

Masters. Kilkenny was at Augusta to watch Jacobsen

compete for a green jacket, and was pleasantly

surprised to see Don Monson, Oregon’s head

men’s basketball coach, was also there. Kilkenny

introduced himself and they became fast friends.

When Kilkenny asked how he could support

Monson’s basketball program, Monson said they

needed video equipment, so Kilkenny gave what

for him at the time was significant: $5,000. “It

may not sound like much, but at that point in my

career, it was a stretch. I was just starting to build

my business which as you can imagine had endless

challenges, but it just felt like the right thing to do.”

Kilkenny’s philanthropic passion to make an impact


was ignited. And like the Masters, his generosity

has become a tradition unlike any other. He and his

wife Stephanie are co-founders of the Lucky Duck

Foundation, a nonprofit focused on preventing and

alleviating the suffering of homelessness throughout

San Diego County,

for which they match

all donations up

to $1.5 million per

year. The foundation

has purchased and

installed industrial tent

structures that shelter

450 individuals nightly;

funded more than 20

different employment

and job training

programs benefiting

more than 1,000

individuals; distributed

more than 12,000 winter

coats that transform into

sleeping bags; created a

public grading system

to evaluate politician’s

effectiveness in reducing

homelessness; and much

more. The Kilkenny’s chose

the name “Lucky Duck

Foundation” as a nod to

Kilkenny’s Irish heritage

and the Oregon Ducks.

“I have been

extraordinarily blessed

in my lifetime and aiding

those in need brings

Stephanie and me great joy and fulfillment. Inviting

our friends and fellow San Diegans to do the same is

something we look forward to every year.”

NBA icon Bill Walton, Jacobsen,

Kilkenny and ESPN’s Neil Everett

And the individual who regularly serves as the Lucky

Duck Foundation’s emcee at their fundraising events?

None other than Jacobsen, who went on to win 18

professional golf tournaments, was selected to two

Ryder Cup teams, and is a regular contributor on

the Golf Channel and NBC for major golf events.

Additionally, Jacobsen’s namesake sports marketing

and event management company has produced more

than 250 events and contributed more than $40

million to nonprofits. Jacobsen was selected as the

2013 Payne Stewart Award winner, which recognizes

the professional golfer who exemplifies character,

sportsmanship, charity, and the ability to make a

positive difference in

the lives of others.

Pat Kilkenny and Peter Jacobsen interviewed

at Lucky Duck Foundation’s Swing & Soiree

“Peter is off the charts.

I am not convinced

the public understands

the magnitude of

the Payne Stewart

Award. And the fact

he jumps on a plane

from Florida to help us

raise critically needed

funds, often heading

home the very next

day, is just one glimpse

into his amazing loyalty

and generosity,” shared

Kilkenny.

Lucky Duck Foundation’s

mantra, “share your luck,”

is meant to encourage

those who have had good

luck in their lives to share

their luck with those in

need. Their next event

is the Spring Swing golf

tournament fundraiser

on April 29 at the Rancho

Santa Fe Golf Club.

“I have been to a lot of

charity golf tournaments and gala fundraisers,”

Jacobsen added. “I am not saying this because they

are my close friends, I am saying this because it is

the truth: Pat and Stephanie’s event is one of, if not

the best event. It is fun, well run, and impactful. I

highly encourage anyone who has not participated

to give it a shot.”

A lifelong friendship predicated on sharing their luck

every year to aid those in need. A friendship, and

tradition, unlike any other.

Nostalgia

Ken Kramer’s

About San Diego

If you are among the thousands of San Diegans for

whom Ken Kramer’s About San Diego is must-see

TV on Thursday nights, this springtime promises

fresh delights. The show has a developed a

passionate following going back to its commercial

radio origins in the 1980s when Ken spun local

history and human-interest stories during

morning and afternoon drive time shows on KSDO

alongside broadcast legends like Ernie Myers and

sportscaster Ron Reina.

About San Diego’s television life began as a volunteer

effort in 1980 when Ken organized a group of

community history enthusiasts using borrowed

equipment to cobble together some half hour KPBS

broadcasts featuring odd and little-known facts about

our county.

After a dozen years as a news reporter and About San

Diego storyteller at NBC7, the program came back to

KPBS for good in 2010 and has since become one of

the station’s most popular offerings.

After his retirement from regular production of the

KPBS Television series Ken Kramer’s About San

Diego a few years ago, Ken was urged by station

management to put together some occasional new

episodes. So, fast forward to now! beginning in April

and continuing each month through the summer, Ken

and his producer Suzanne Bartole will offer previously

unseen stories about the people and history of the

area we call home. KPBS Passport members will get a

sneak preview of each new episode on the First of the

Month, with a television broadcast debut to follow on

the second Thursday of each month in the show’s usual

8:00 PM time slot.

The first new episode will be seen by KPBS-TV viewers in

San Diego and Imperial Counties on Thursday April 11

and features rare film footage of historic efforts by

San Diego entrepreneurs who dreamed of building

an automobile that could fly. We are introduced to

Carmen Castaneda, one of the few remaining Rosie

The Riveter women who worked in San Diego’s defense

industry during World War 2, Historian Seth Mallios

makes his show debut with a story behind a barely

noticed military memorial on the San Diego State

University campus, and a 70-year perspective on the

Aztecs amazing run to basketball’s Final Four.


Si usted se encuentra entre las miles de

personas de San Diego para las cuales el

programa de TV Ken Kramer´s About

San Diego era algo fijo a ver los jueves por

la noche, esta primavera promete traer

nuevas sorpresas. A partir de un programa

de radio matinal y vespertino iniciado

en los ´80 que nos acompañaba en los horarios de ir al

trabajo, donde Ken, junto a Ernie Myers, leyenda de

la radio y el periodista deportivo Ron Reina, contaban

hechos históricos locales entretejidos con interesantes

eventos sobre coloridos personajes, este programa fue

creciendo hasta convertirse en un icono televisivo.

About San Diego en su versión televisiva comenzó en

1980 cuando Ken reunió a un grupo de entusiastas de la

historia de nuestra comunidad, pidió prestado el equipo

y salió al aire media hora en KPBS, contando pocos

conocidos datos sobre nuestro condado.

Luego de más de una docena de años como periodista

de noticias y relator de About San Diego en NBC7, en el

2010 el programa volvió para quedarse a KPBS y desde

ese momento se convirtió en una de las propuestas más

populares del canal de TV.

Bartole in the KPBS studio

late 1940s seen as it flew over Mission Valley

Un par de años luego de que retiraran de la

producción la serie televisiva de KPBS Ken

Kramer’s About San Diego, la gerencia del canal

le pidió realizar algunos episodios esporádicos,

por lo que a partir de abril y durante cada mes

del verano, Ken junto a su productora, Suzanne

Bartolome, nos van a deleitar con historias inéditas

sobre personas y lugares históricos de la zona a la

cual llamamos nuestro hogar. Los miembros con

pasaporte de KPBS van a poder ver un adelanto de

cada episodio en First of the Month, con el debut

televisivo en cada segundo martes de cada mes en

su horario habitual de las 8:00 PM.

El primer episodio que saldrá al aire de KPBS por

TV en los condados de San Diego e Imperial será

el 11 de abril y presentará partes de filmaciones

históricas sobre emprendedores de San Diego

que soñaban con construir un automóvil que

pudiera volar. Carmen Castaneda, una de las

mujeres de Rosie The Riveter, y trabajadora en la

industria de la defensa durante la Segunda Guerra

Mundial, será parte de esta atrapante historia, y

el historiador Seth Mallios hará su debut en el

programa con la historia apenas conocida detrás

del monumento a la memoria de los militares

perteneciente al campus de la Universidad de San

Diego, sumando luego a una perspectiva de 70

años desde que los Aztecas realizarán su increíble

carrera en el basquetbol hacia la Final Four.

BRILLIANCE GALA

Join the

Alzheimer’s

Association

May 3 rd at the

Alila Marea

Beach Resort

in Encinitas

for the Alzheimer’s

Association San

Diego & Imperial

Chapter 2024

Brilliance Gala as

they celebrate the

work being done, and

recognize those who

have been a part of

the fight.

This year, the

Alzheimer’s

Association will

recognize the impact

of local research

by shining a light

on companies on

the forefront of

developing

treatments, which for

the first time ever,

address the underlying biology of Alzheimer’s disease

rather than just symptoms.

One of those companies, Eisai, will also be

recognized as the 2024 Alzheimer’s Association’s

“Visionary Award” recipient. This award is presented

to an individual, company or organization with

remarkable foresight and dedication to improve

the lives of those with dementia, their caregivers

and loved ones. Eisai’s

Alzheimer’s treatment

drug, LEQEMBI was

selected by Time

Magazine as one of

the Best Inventions of

2023 in the Medical

category. LEQEMBI

is the first and only

approved treatment

for patients with mild

cognitive impairment or

mild dementia stage of

Alzheimer’s disease.

La Jollan Jayne Slade

will be recognized

as 2024 Alzheimer’s

Association Hope Award

honoree. Jayne knows

firsthand what it is like

to lose a loved one to

Alzheimer’s, as she was

a constant companion

and caregiver to her

husband Hank Slade

Co Chair Travis Chrisman throughout his battle.

Hank and Jayne were

active participants in

the Alzheimer’s community and worked to educate

and promote awareness as Hank battled the disease.

Jayne has continued her involvement, currently cofacilitating

a local caregivers group.

Past Brilliance Gala honorees include Best Buy Health,

Karen Wilder, Dr. Michael Rafii, AMN/Susan and Scott

Salka, Dr. David Crean, and Dr. Jeffrey Cummings.


The Alzheimer’s Association is making progress at

an unimaginable rate, but there is still so much to

do. And that work starts with your support. The

Brilliance Gala offers more than an exceptional

evening of celebration featuring cocktails, dinner,

live and silent auction, live entertainment, special

guests and more, but also an opportunity to change

the future: An opportunity to create a world without

Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

Funds raised at the Brilliance Gala fund local

programs and services as well as research to find

treatments and a cure. The Association is currently

funding more than $5 million in active research

targeting Alzheimer’s disease across institutions

right here in San Diego, including UC San Diego,

the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the

University of Southern California’s Alzheimer’s

Therapeutic Research Institute and more. Overall,

the Alzheimer’s Association has funded more than

$14 million in local research.

Co Chair Rantell Ramirez

The Brilliance Gala is an

opportunity to create a world

without Alzheimer’s and all

other dementia.

The 2024 Brilliance Gala is co-chaired by a trio of

San Diegans committed to changing the Alzheimer’s

narrative: Paula Lemkuil, Rantell Ramirez, and

Travis Chrisman. All three have experience with the

disease, with both Paula and Travis losing a parent to

Alzheimer’s. Edward Cox is the 2024 Brilliance Gala

Honorary Chair. Edward served as the 2022 and 2023

Alzheimer’s Association Gala chair.

There has never been a more important time in the

fight to end Alzheimer’s than right now. This urgency is

the driving factor behind the 2024 Brilliance Gala.

is invested in

leadership and

development by empowering people and

strengthening communities. When we come

together, communities thrive and flourish and in

San Diego. We are proud to help create impactful

changes through our partnership with Chicano

Federation who is providing opportunities for all

San Diegans in need. As San Diego faced rainstorms

causing great damage

affecting many families in

the communities, Chicano

Federation stepped up and helped provide relief

and support ensuring the well-being

of the impacted communities.

25 units and multiple vehicles

were damaged by the flood

In January, many neighbors

and familia lost their homes,

businesses, vehicles, and

belongings due to San Diego’s

unprecedented storms.

The Chicano Federation

experienced the devastation

firsthand, as floodwater rose to

4 feet in one of its affordable

housing complexes for families;

25 units were destroyed and

over 60 residents, as young as 10

days old, were displaced. Many

residents’ damaged vehicles

prevented parents from going to

work and children from attending

school; those who work for Lyft or

Uber now have their livelihoods

at risk without vehicles. Because

the Chicano Federation’s priority

is keeping these families safe and

cared for, they were immediately

placed in hotels and received

warm meals and basic necessities.


Volunteers and partners showed up to support

affected families and helped with cleanup efforts

Paco and his family are among the residents supported by

the Chicano Federation. Paco’s story began in the Republic of

the Congo, enjoying a peaceful upbringing until the outbreak

of war. His family sought refuge in Uganda for four years

before finding permanent residence in San Diego, moving

into the Chicano Federation’s Delta Street Apartments in

Southcrest. Paco’s growing family of six has called Delta

Street Apartments “home” for 11 years; however, their lives

were abruptly disrupted by the recent floods.

Despite this being Paco’s third encounter with catastrophic

flooding that requires a fresh start, he considers himself very

fortunate. Paco’s mother is his upstairs neighbor and has

been cooking warm, nourishing meals for him, his family,

and all of the residents affected by January’s storm. Grateful

for the Chicano Federation for providing housing stability,

Paco’s family is eager to return to Delta Street Apartments as

quickly as possible so they can start to rebuild their lives.

Thanks to dedicated volunteers, the Chicano Federation

cleaned out the 25 affected units - disposing of furniture,

trash, and debris - to start reconstruction. The projected

timeline before families can return to their homes is up to

three months. During these hard times, supporters have

stepped up with donations for lodging, meals, transportation,

and basic needs for these individuals and families.

Nevertheless, the need for support and compassion persists

as Chicano Federation provides residents with culturally

responsive, trauma-informed support in navigating insurance

damage claims, legal assistance, and other critical resources.

Paco standing in what

used to be his kitchen

Since 1969, the Chicano Federation of

San Diego County has been advancing

civil rights, civic participation, and social

mobility for historically marginalized

communities. The organization serves

clients regardless of race, ethnicity,

religion, gender, age, sexual orientation,

and/or immigration status, prioritizing

immigrants, refugees, and low-income,

high-potential communities. Because of

Chicano Federation’s commitment to

social justice, it was recognized as the

“2023 Outstanding Organization for

Diversity & Inclusion” at San Diego’s

51st annual National Philanthropy Day.

Southwest is the official airline of the

Chicano Federation, providing ongoing

support to individuals and families.

Community

B

alboa Park, often

called the crown

jewel and heart

of San Diego, has

held a special place

in our community

for generations.

Now, at a critical

juncture, we stand

at the crossroads

of determining

the extent of our

commitment to

preserving the

cultural significance

of the park,

recognizing it not

only as a cherished

gem but also as a vital

economic, health,

and environmental

engine propelling our

region forward.

The cultural

significance of Balboa Park is indisputable, with worldrenowned

museums, theaters, the zoo, architectural

heritage, and expansive open spaces catering to residents

and visitors. Beyond this well-celebrated cultural

tapestry lies equally significant economic, health, and

environmental benefits. We see the impacts through


Balboa Park:

Navigating Progress

Jim Waring

tourism and visitor

spending, events

and festivals,

local businesses

in surrounding

neighborhoods, job

creation within the

park’s operational

and maintenance

sectors, real estate

ripple effects, and the

flow of public and

private investments

into the park. Like all

parks, Balboa Park

plays a multifaceted

role in the health of

our communities

by providing

recreational and open

space, promoting

mental well-being,

and fostering social

connections. It is

well-understood

that parks also play

a critical role in our

efforts to combat

climate change.

For all these reasons,

the Burnham Center

for Community

Advancement (BCCA) made the park one of its

earliest priorities and released a community report in

November 2022, examining long-standing challenges in

funding and governance. BCCA’s involvement revealed

an existing and often underappreciated collective will

among stakeholders to forge a better future for the park.

As BCCA gains momentum with Jim

Waring at the helm of its Balboa Park

efforts, significant developments await the

park. The City of San Diego’s prioritization

research, set to release this year, aims to

identify the park’s needs, guiding strategic

decision-making aligned with community

priorities. The City of San Diego has also

made significant investments and secured

$30 million in federal and state funding to

make much-needed mobility, restoration,

safety and security enhancements, and

improved governance, such as the recently

announced special permit issued to Forever

Balboa Park to fast-track improvements.

Forever Balboa Park is finalizing its

Strategic Plan, providing a clear roadmap

for collaborative efforts with the city to

generate revenue and ensure sustained

growth. Simultaneously, the Balboa

Park Cultural Partnership is shaping

its Experience Plan, which focuses

on elevating visitor experiences and

maintaining the park as a vibrant hub for

cultural and recreational activities.

Creative solutions, drawing inspiration from parks

worldwide, indicate a need for a new framework that

transcends traditional norms and engages everyone in

a collaborative effort.

Tad Seth Parzen and Malin Burnham

As we eagerly await these milestones, it is

evident that Balboa Park is on the cusp of

transformative change. The collaborative

efforts of many over numerous years have

set the stage for a united effort to address

significant challenges, ensuring the park’s

vitality for future generations and marking

the next chapter in its rich history.

www.burnhamcenter.org

In recognition of their initial efforts, BCCA was

recently awarded a grant from The Conrad Prebys

Foundation, enabling the hiring of Jim Waring, a

seasoned leader well-regarded for his efforts with

Cleantech San Diego and who served as Deputy

Chief Operating Officer for Land Use and Economic

Development at the City of San Diego. The funding

will also allow BCCA to engage the broader community

and create regular reporting on progress being made.

Entertainment

The Musical Odyssey

of NRG Music &

Productions

BY NICHOLE NAOUM

I

n the heart of NRG Music & Productions lies a tale

of love, creativity, and a deep commitment to making

a positive impact. Founded by Andy Salmonsen in

1984, the journey of this music and entertainment

powerhouse began in the early days of his romance

with his wife, Kymm Civette-Salmonsen, evolving into

a thriving venture that combines passion, talent, and a

strong sense of purpose.

The spark that ignited NRG’s inception came from a

transformative experience in Las Vegas, where Kymm

witnessed a show featuring a female lead singer and

dancers. This moment of creative inspiration fueled her

desire to carve out a unique niche in San Diego’s music

scene. The decision to introduce singers with a strong

dance background set NRG apart, creating a trendsetting

musical experience that quickly gained popularity.

As the years unfolded, NRG’s mission evolved

organically. From a successful band, they transitioned

into curating theme production shows for

philanthropic events. The turning point came when a

client requested a “Decades” theme show, setting the

stage for NRG’s involvement in fundraising events.

The mission was clear - to enhance the overall event

experience, weaving entertainment seamlessly into the

fabric of each unique occasion.


The essence of NRG’s mission lies in flexibility,

generosity, and the dedication to being great partners

to their clients. Their growth reflects a commitment

to answering the call of any event with heart, creating

lasting relationships that extend beyond business. Music,

for them, is not just a profession but a way of life - a

medium

to forge

connections

and bring

joy to their

clients.

At the heart

of NRG’s

approach is

a desire to

ensure that

guests not

only have a

great time at

fundraising

events

but also

leave with

a deeper

connection

to the

causes being

supported.

Through

customized

theme shows,

integrating

music, video,

choreography,

and unique

costuming,

NRG creates

memorable

experiences

that resonate

with the event’s purpose. The emotional connection

fostered on the dance floor aligns with the cause, leaving

a lasting impact on attendees.

The significance of NRG’s contributions is perhaps

best exemplified by a poignant moment during one of

their performances. A long-standing client expressed

gratitude for 21 years of entertainment, with tears of

joy and appreciation. This heartfelt acknowledgment,

coupled with the involvement of their own children in

the performances, highlights the profound impact NRG

has had over

the years.

What Andy

and Kymm

cherish

most about

their roles at

NRG is the

opportunity

to create new

show concepts

tailored to

their clients’

needs. The joy

of contributing

to the creative

process,

witnessing

visions come to

life, and sharing

those moments

with clients is

immeasurable.

Performing on

stage as a family,

from high school

sweethearts to

their children

joining in,

adds a layer of

fulfillment that

transcends the

professional

realm.

NRG Music & Productions is not just about

entertainment – it is a celebration of love, creativity, and

a shared commitment to making a positive difference in

the world.

Ribbon Cutting

San Diego Automotive Museum

LIBRARY GRAND OPENING

Ribbon Cutting

The San Diego Automotive Museum held

a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially

open the Berg Family Trust Library

featuring the Skeets Dunn Research

Lab. A vision nearly four years in the

making, it marks the first time the

Automotive Library has undergone a

significant overhaul since the Museum opened in 1988.

Jim and Jill Berg, Sharon Dunn, and Museum CEO

Lenny Leszczynski among many guests and supporters

attended the event, including a private morning

reception before the Library was opened to the public.

The Library’s renovation was made possible by a

generous gift from the Jim and Jill Berg of the Berg

Family Trust. Thanks to an additional contribution

by the Dunn Family, the Skeets Dunn Research Lab

provides scholars and students easy access to the

publications they need.

Sharon Dunn generously donated her late husband

Skeet’s collection of Ferrari books and publications,

some of which are rare or collectors’ editions.

Additionally, researchers who cannot visit the Berg

Family Library in person can access parts of the Skeets

Dunn Research Lab and collection digitally.

Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects designed the

modern facility, while Barnhart-Reese Construction

Company oversaw the Berg Family Library remodel,

construction, and the building of the Skeets Research

Center. A digital conception inspired by the San Diego


unites the entire

collection into

one location,

with the

capacity to

increase the

collection by

25%.

Berg Family Trust Library

Automotive Museum’s vision led to remodeling this

3,000-square-foot space while preserving the building’s

historic infrastructure.

Additionally, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas and Nancy

Barnhart underwrote the naming of the Museum’s gift

shop, which recently received new flooring, thanks to

the generous help of Metro Flooring. Barnhart-Reese

has been committed to supporting the Museum for the

past three years.

The Library is

a component of

the Museum’s

Capital

Campaign,

aimed at

expanding the

current facility

to become the

automotive hub

of Southern

California,

occupying a spacious 56,000-square-foot area. The

Museum’s interior enhancements will include an enlarged

exhibition floor space, allowing for more interactive

displays, as well as a stunning event space on the second

floor, which will incorporate both indoor and outdoor

spaces. The Capital Campaign provides opportunities to

name various areas. For more information of naming,

please visit www.sdautomuseum.org.

The Museum’s collection

contains manufacturer

publications on specs and

components of automobiles

dating back over 100

years, auto racing, and

the histories of motor

companies, to name a few.

The extensive automotiverelated

publications include

over 4,000 books, nearly

40,000 magazines, and

over 3,000 repair manuals.

Before the renovation, the

collection occupied two

rooms: the Library and a

closet. This refurbishment

Film

San Diego Latino Film Festival

Tatiana Huezo

The Echo, directed by the Mexican-

Salvadoran filmmaker Tatiana Huezo,

is one of the films selected for the

San Diego Latino Film Festival 2024

Spotlight Section, a program that gives

a Panorama of the best Latin American

films of 2023, offering boundary-pushing

propositions from exciting, diverse, award-winning, and

established cinematic voices from our continent. The

Echo premiered last year at the Encounters Section of

Berlinale-Berlin International Film Festival where the

director won the Award for Best Documentary Feature.

The film takes place in the remote village of El Echo that

exists outside of time, the children care for the sheep and

their elders. While the frost and drought punish the land,

they learn to understand death, illness and love with each

act, word and silence of their parents. A story about the

echo of what clings to the soul, about the certainty of

shelter provided by those around us, about rebellion and

vertigo in the face of life. About growing up.

The director Tatiana Huezo graduated from the Centro

de Capacitación Cinematográfica and has a Master’s

Degree in Creative Documentary from the Universitat

Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. Her work has been widely

recognized around the world and acknowledged by the

Mexican Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences

with eight Ariel awards; among them Best Documentary

and Best Director for Tempestad, which premiered in the

66th Berlinale Forum; as well as Best Film for Prayers

for the Stolen, which premiered in Un Certain Regard at

Cannes Film Festival, where it received a special mention

from the jury.

GB Magazine is proud to sponsor the San Diego Latino

Film Festival since 2010.


El Eco, dirigida por la productora

mexicana-salvadoreña Tatiana Huezo,

fue una de las películas seleccionada para

la sección Spotlight del Festival de Cine

Latino de San Diego 2024, un programa

que brinda una mirada sobre las mejores

películas latinas del 2023, con propuestas

que llevan a límite situaciones de manera diversa,

excitante, merecedoras de galardones y que establecen

nuevas voces dentro de la industria de nuestro

continente. El Eco tuvo su premier el año pasado en

el Festival Internacional Berlinale-Berlin en la sección

Encounters, donde la directora se llevó el premio al

Mejor Largometraje Documental.

La película

transcurre en el

remoto pueblo

atemporal de El Eco,

donde los niños

cuidan ovejas y a

sus mayores. Con la

sequía y las heladas

azotando la tierra,

ellos aprenden

y comprenden

la muerte, las

enfermedades, el

amor en cada acto,

palabra y silencio

de sus padres. Una historia sobre el eco de lo que

reverbera en el alma, sobre la certeza del refugio que

nos brindan los que nos rodean, sobre la rebelión y el

vértigo de enfrentar la vida, sobre el crecer y madurar.

La directora Tatiana Huezo se graduó del Centro

de Capacitación Cinematográfica y cuenta con una

maestría en Creatividad en Documentales otorgado

por la Universidad Pompeu de Barcelona. Su trabajo

ha sido ampliamente reconocido en el mundo y en

especial por la Academia Mexicana de Artes y Ciencias

Cinematográficas con ocho premios Ariel, entre los

cuales está el de Mejor Documental y Mejor directora

por La Tempestad, presentada en el 66° Foro del

Berlinale, premio a la Mejor Película por Oraciones

por los Robados que fuera presentada en Un Certain

Regard en el Festival de Cannes, donde recibió una

mención especial por parte de los jurados.

Desde 2010, la revista Giving Back, con mucho

orgullo es uno de los patrocinadores del Festival

Latino de San Diego.

Education

BLCI

ANNOUNCING $150,000 SCHOLARSHIP CHALLENGE MATCH

Robert and Molly Schulze

“We have been impressed with BLCI’s program and its success. We realize the

cost of education can be a deterrent for many of these students and we hope the

creation of an endowment for scholarships will be able to provide a consistent

source of funds and help remove that obstacle.” - Robert and Molly Schulze

In partnership with Robert and Molly Schulze

and San Diego Foundation, BLCI is pleased to

announce two new matching fund opportunities

for a total of $150,000 that are aimed at increasing

equity in education by assisting low-income, firstgeneration

students with financial support to ensure

academic persistence and success. BLCI partners


with San Diego Foundation

each year through their

Community Scholarships

Program, which is the largest

non-university scholarship provider in San Diego

County and responsible for awarding $4 million in

scholarships to over 1,000 students, including BLCI

alumni, last year. The existing partnership and San

Diego Foundations’ dedication to the community

made them a natural partner for these newly

established funds.

BLCI Graduating Class of 2023

Robert and Molly’s

involvement began with an

invitation to attend BLCI’s

annual event, Opportunity

for Impact and in Robert’s

words, “after that night we

were hooked.” The event is

hosted by BLCI students and

highlights their educational

goals and what they have

BLCI Elementary Studens

”Acknowledge your good

fortune, your hard work

and achievements to date,

and be willing to give back

when you have the time

and treasure to do so.”

learned in the program. Molly was struck by the confidence the students

exhibited and attributed it to the skills they learned at BLCI, “I believe that

BLCI instills and reinforces confidence. It was incredibly impressive. Both

of us believe in the power of education and realize that because of finances

it is unattainable for many. We feel extremely fortunate to be able to help

and we hope the challenge grant will encourage others to join us in this

effort to make higher education more easily attainable for others.”

Like BLCI students, Robert was the first in his family to graduate college and

his path to education was not an easy one. Robert’s first scholarship came in the

form of aid from the Catholic Church after his father died, leaving his mother

to raise four young boys all under the age of 10. His mother began working in

the church’s school cafeteria,

and the boys attended school

for free. Further assistance

enabled a spot at an all-boys

catholic military school

which was followed by

college funded through the

GI Bill for his service during

the Vietnam era. Robert

shares that his education

would not have been possible

without help along the way

and now it is his time to give

back, “I am one lucky person.

Advice to others would be

to acknowledge your good

fortune, your hard work and

achievements to date, and be

willing to give back when you

have the time and treasure to

do so.”

Since that first event, Robert

and Molly have provided

15 four-year scholarships

to BLCI students, changing

the trajectory of lives for

generations to come. Their

passion for education grows

with each graduating class

and through the match, they

invite you to join their efforts

to close the inequity gap in

education.

Donors can support a

brand-new endowed fund

with donations matched up

to $100,000, or to support

current use scholarships,

gifts will be matched up to

$50,000.

join the 2024 Opportunity

for Impact, and to make a

The Fleet Science Center’s

Gala Celebration

CELEBRATING COMMUNITY, INSPIRING MINDS

SciTech program

workshop

In anticipation of the upcoming gala, the Fleet

Science Center’s celebration is not just a

reflection on the past but a bold declaration of

commitment to the future.

The Fleet Science Center serves as a catalyst for

sparking curiosity and nurturing a profound

appreciation for science, technology, engineering

and math (STEM) across all age groups. Through its

diverse programs and initiatives, the Fleet is not only

igniting curiosity but also fostering and reinforcing

STEM identities in youth and adults alike.

The Fleet Science Center’s commitment to access

to communities is exemplified by programs like

Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar, which provides

opportunities for adults to engage with experts

in informal settings, fostering dialogue, curiosity,

building trust and a deeper understanding of the world

around us. As the program celebrates its tenth year, it

has seen around 300 scientists participate since 2014,

hosting 35 events and facilitating almost 4000 hours

(the same number of hours it takes to complete an

undergraduate degree) of conversations surrounding

STEM in the community.

Programs like SciTech and Better Education for

Women in Science and Engineering (BE WiSE) are


particularly instrumental in

inspiring youth. Every year, SciTech

offers an immersive dive into the

realm of science and technology

to more than 120 girls in grades

4–6 from up to eight schools

across San Diego County. Through

interactive workshops, mentorship

opportunities and hands-on

experiences, girls can explore

STEM fields with confidence and

determination.

Similarly, BE WiSE is much

more than a program for better

education; it is a supportive

community for young women

interested in STEM. In this

program, over 700 girls in grades

7–12 learn about and experience

what it means to be a female leader

in science and technology. As they

participate in workshops and visit

sites with the guidance of female

STEM role models, BE WiSE girls

Tech Challenge

winners

can see themselves as the future leaders and innovators

they can be, and along the way, dismantle barriers and pave

the way for the next generation of STEM professionals.

FLEET SCIENCE CENTER GALA

A LOOK BACK TO THE FUTURE

APRIL 27, 2024

Two Scientists Walk

Into a Bar event

These programs collectively

play a crucial role in nurturing

STEM identities, instilling a

sense of confidence and passion

that propels individuals toward

success in the ever-evolving

world of science and technology.

As the Fleet Science Center gears

up to celebrate its achievements

at the upcoming gala event

on April 27, 2024, it serves

as a reminder of the power of

community engagement. It is

not just a celebration; it is a

call to action - a chance for the

community to rally behind the

Fleet’s mission of connecting San

Diegans to the power of science

to create a better future.

Japan

ENDLESS DISCOVERY

Esteban and Danitza

Villanueva at Todaiji Temple

Few words can describe the

beauty, charm and energy

Japan offers as soon as you

set foot in the country.

Japan had been on our

bucket list of places to

visit and when researching

the country, we knew we

wanted to experience Japan

in the winter as it offers

the most beautiful winter

wonderland with breathtaking backdrops

and fewer crowds. The fastest way to travel

throughout Japan is on the Shinkansen bullet

trains, the fastest trains in the world! Our train

journey started in Tokyo.


Tokyo

Yasaka Pagoda

Shinkansen

Sorakuen

Osaka Castle


Where To Go:

Tokyo - To explore Tokyo, you

really need a few days as it is the

world’s largest city and offers various

neighborhoods. Each neighborhood

offers its own charm, restaurants,

sites, and shops. In Shibuya, there is

a pedestrian crossing located in the

very center of Tokyo, is perhaps the

most iconic symbol of the city of Tokyo

being known as the busiest pedestrian

crossing in the world as 3,000 people

cross every 2 minutes! Ginza is an

upscale neighborhood known for its

shopping, entertainment, and great

restaurants. The district for all things

electronic, fans of gaming, anime, and

Japanese subculture in Akihabara.

Located in central Tokyo it offers

various stores, pachinko parlors, retro

video games, and other collectibles in

between the electronics retailers whose

variety defies belief.

Osaka - Japan’s third largest city has at

its center Osaka Castle. The original

castle was completed in 1583 and was

attacked and destroyed several times,

most recently during air raids during

WWII. It is also known for their covered

Tokyo at night

Gokoyama

Japanese Snow Monkeys


Kobe Beef

Shibuya Crossing

Iiyama

shopping arcade Shinsaibashi-suji, one of Osaka’s oldest

and busiest shopping destinations, which runs about 600

meters in length - food, clothing, vintage, cosmetics - you

name it!

Kyoto - Less than one hour by train from Osaka is the

old imperial capital, Kyoto. Temples and shrines such as

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of the oldest schools within

Japanese Buddhism. In 1994, the temple was added to

the list of UNESCO world heritage sites. Fushimi Inari

Shrine, famous for its thousands of orange-colored torii

gates and shrines dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice.

As well as the Yasaka Pagoda popular as one of the most

photogenic spots in Kyoto.

Kobe- Known for the world famous Kobe beef, and home

to Sorakuen a traditional Japanese landscape garden in

the center of Kobe.

MARCH 2024 Kiyomizu-dera | GBSAN.COM Temple 91

Fushimi Inari Shrine

Nara- Located less than one hour from Osaka, you will

find Todaiji Temple which houses one of the world’s

largest wooden buildings and houses the world’s largest

bronze Buddha. Surrounding the temple are thousands of

Nara Deer, once known as sacred messengers of the gods.

These days the deer are no longer considered sacred, but

to honor tradition they are considered national treasures,

roaming in Nara Park and gently nudging you to be fed.

Shirakawa-go

Gokoyama & Shirakawa-go- known for the traditional

style, steeply-sloped thatched roofs for withstanding heavy

snowfall, picturesque villages with beautiful mountain

surroundings and homes exceeding 300 years in age.

Nagano- host of the 1998 Winter Olympics and home

to the world-famous Jigokudani Monkey Park. This is

the only place in the world where you will see these wild

Japanese Macaques, also called snow monkeys, soaking

in natural hot spring baths. In Iiyama in the Japanese

Alps also stands a village with an igloo restaurant which

offers a traditional hot pot meal in one of the most unique

locations in the world.


Kaitenzushi

Jigokudani Monkey Park

Shinsaibashi-suji

Sushi- Kaitenzushi, also

known as conveyor belt sushi,

is a type of sushi restaurant

characterized by the conveyor

belt that winds through the

restaurant. The conveyor

belt carries plates of sushi to

your table, or you can request

custom orders by touchscreen

immediately conveyed to you!

What to Eat:

There is no shortage of delicious options of things to eat in Japan and we

want to make sure you do not leave without trying the following:

Matcha Desserts- Matcha is a powdered green tea ground from the leaf

and grown in the shade, resulting in a more bitter flavor which is added to

baked goods and works well as a topping for fruits or in smoothie mixes.

Noodle dishes- Udon is a thick white noodle made of wheat flour and

Soba is a noodle made of buckwheat flour and served either hot or cold

dishes served with meats, vegetables or on their own.

Tempura- lightly battered and deep-fried vegetables and seafood dishes,

the batter is unlike anything you will come across in the states.

Mochi- a Japanese dessert

crafted from sugary glutinous

rice flour, flavored with a paste

and have a dense chewy texture.

Often with strawberries, bean

paste or cream filling.

Cheesecake – This unexpected

treat is a soufflé cake that is light

and airy. Unlike the American

version, this treat is based on

whipped egg whites making a

treat worth waiting in line for –

because there will be one!

Kobe Beef – though we have

all heard the term, this delicate

meat when prepared by a

Support programs like the

Food 4 Kids Backpack Program

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to invite you to join us for the 12th Annual San Diego Food Bank

Gala on Saturday, April 27th, benefitting the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank!

As Co-Chairs for this year’s Gala, we

can tell you we have an exciting evening

in store for you! Our outstanding Gala

Committee has been hard at work

bringing fun ideas and creative visions

to life to celebrate the Food Bank’s

critical mission and to inspire this year’s

attendees to support the Food Bank’s

important work.

The experience from start to finish will

be a memorable one as we all gather one

night at one warehouse for one cause –

the San Diego Food Bank’s mission to

Jeannie Johnson Bolinger & Amy Jacobs

end hunger in San Diego County.

As dedicated supporters of the Food Bank for many years, we are constantly in

awe of the impactful programs and work the Food Bank is doing to help the more

than 400,000 people each month facing food insecurity in our community.

One of these programs, the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program ensures that children

living in poverty have access to healthy, nutritious food over the weekend when

free school meals are not available to them. As mothers, this program is especially

meaningful to us as it is difficult to comprehend any young child not having access

to enough food over the weekend when they are not in school.

The Food 4 Kids Backpack Program currently serves approximately 3,500

elementary school children countywide at 76 elementary schools, in 19 school

districts. Thanks to the incredible generosity of guests at last year’s Gala, we were

able to expand this program to these amazing numbers. With your help at this

year’s Gala, we can take even more children off the waitlist and give them the hope

and nourishment they need to thrive!

Whether it’s through the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program or any of the Food Bank’s

other programs, every week, the Food Bank is helping thousands of local families.

And because of their efficiency in leveraging every monetary gift they receive, the

Food Bank is able to turn every $1 donated into enough food for two meals!

You can see why we are passionate about the San Diego Food Bank, and we

encourage you to join us for this fabulous night in support of this very critical

cause… and remember to bring your dancing shoes!

With great admiration and appreciation,

It’s a Party!

This Year’s Gala Benefits

Critical Programs Including the

Food 4 Kids Backpack Program

The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank has served as San Diego County’s

food safety net for more than 45 years. Through a range of hunger-relief

programs and our dedicated network of 544 nonprofit partners, we currently

serve 400,000 people countywide per month.

A recent study produced by San Diego State University revealed that more

than 70% of our assistance is supporting working-poor families who have

difficulties making ends meet due to the region’s high-cost of living, coupled

with low wage jobs.

The study also revealed that the primary need for the Food Bank’s services is a

direct result of rising costs for food, rent and utilities. 76% of respondents cited

this as their reason for visiting the Food Bank, and 45% of respondents added

that they do not receive enough income to make ends meet. As we saw during

COVID, many families are only one major expense or paycheck away from

needing our services, which is why it’s so critical we continue to advocate for

our mission and the direct impact it has on families, seniors, active-duty military,

veterans, the unhoused and especially, children in our region. One program that

will benefit from the 2024 Gala is our Food 4 Kids Backpack Program.

The San Diego Food Bank started the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program in 2006

to provide weekend backpacks full of nutritious food to children in elementary

schools throughout the County. These weekend backpacks help ensure these

children have enough food for the weekend until they return to school Monday

morning. Each backpack contains a variety of shelf-stable, child-friendly food items

such as: fruit pouches, microwaveable oatmeal, pop-top soups, tuna and cracker

kits, shelf-stable milk, cereal and more.

Participating children are identified by school staff because they display chronic

signs of hunger such as frequent stomach aches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating,

difficulty interacting with classmates, hoarding food from the cafeteria, and

absenteeism. Once a child is identified, a permission request form is sent to the

student’s parents to enroll them in the program. Approximately 3,500 children

currently participate in the program through 76 elementary schools in 19 school

districts throughout San Diego County. Children in the program have shown

significant improvement in their grades, behavior and overall well-being.

Help us continue to make a difference for these children and others

still waiting for their chance to participate. It costs just $300 to

feed a child for one entire school year and with your help, we can

bring more children hope. Show your support for the Food 4 Kids

Backpack Program by attending the Food Bank’s upcoming

San Diego Food Bank Gala on Saturday, April 27.
