• Possible Eagle Scout Project - "I was wondering if any of the Eagle Scouts might be interested in some possible projects here at Felicita Park. Right off hand, I have two projects in mind, maybe even three. I would like to renovate some old horseshoe pits, maybe put in a new volleyball court, or some possible help on an irrigation project to help cut down on water usage in one particular area of the park." Contact Park Ranger Mike Verderber at 760.745.4379 or via e-mail. [29 Jul 2009]

• Possible Eagle Scout Project - "My name is Teresa Olivo. I am Chairperson for Rincon Head Start, located in Valley Center on the Rincon Indian Reservation. The Head Start is in dire need of a new playground. The playground equipment is in excellellant condidtion; however, the ground needs attention. The ground is full of gopher holes and is very uneven (made mostly of weeds, rocks etc). The current condition of the playground is dangerous not only to the children but to the staff. Earlier this year a teacher was hurt while on the playground and required surgery (thus missing school). The Rincon Head Start serves not only Native American children, but also low income families (in the surrounding communities). The Rincon Head Start is hoping this project will not only help a deserving potential Eagle Scout, but also the children and staff at the school."

• Possible Eagle Scout Project - "My name is Martha Marin and I am a Kindergarten teacher at Conway School in Escondido. I am writing to see if you might be able to help our school. The Kindergarten eating area is in desperate need of an awning to provide shade for the students while they eat their lunch/snack. Presently the children eat in the sun. We have brought in a temporary portable awning, but it is small and only covers one of the six table we use. This issue is of concern to me not only for all the children but especially because I have a child in my class that has Leukemia and cannot be in the sun. I was wondering if you might have a scout who is working on/ looking for an Eagle Scout project that might want to take this on. Please consider my request. I thank you in advance for all your kind consideration to this matter. Sincerely, Martha Marin." The school phone number is 760.432.2435.
