Events This Week

THE BIG GAME!

First, of course, is tonight at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN - the National Championship Football game between the University of Alabama and the University of Notre Dame.  Notre Dame by 10!  Go Irish!!!

JON SMITH CELEBRATION

Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 8, 2013 has a couple interesting events for your consideration.  First, at 4:00 in front of the Costa Mesa Police Headquarters at 99 Fair Drive Chief Tom Gazsi will host a "yellow ribbon-cutting" ceremony to officially welcome back offier Jon Smith from his year-long tour in Afghanistan.  I wrote about it HERE.

FIRST COUNCIL MEETING OF THE YEAR

Later that evening the first city council meeting of the year - the kinder, gentler era - will be held in council chambers at City Hall.  The closed session begins at 5:00 and the regular meeting begins at 6:00.  I wrote about it HERE.

60TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE 

On Thursday, January 10, 2013 the Costa Mesa 60th Anniversary Committee will meet again to flesh out sub-committee assignments and get started with the heavy lifting of planning the celebrations.  Long time activist Mike Scheafer and volunteer Melinda Lowery will lead this group of nearly three dozen volunteers.  I wrote about his election HERE.  The meeting, which is open to the public, begins at 5:30 in the Emergency Operations Center, adjacent to Police Headquarters.
