The County Administration Building supported the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign by lighting the building lights red on February 5th for the entire month. The association encourages women to wear red clothing and accessories to educate the public on women’s risk of cardiovascular disease.

Vice Chairwoman Pam Slater-Price has supported the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign for years. Many of her health initiatives have encouraged a healthier lifestyle by quitting smoking, eating right and exercising regularly – all aims of Go Red.

Vice Chairwoman Pam Slater-Price welcomed nearly 200 attendees, including local leaders, to celebrate the grand opening for the new, state-of-the-art “green” San Elijo Nature Center on January 31. The two-story building includes interactive displays and high-tech exhibits that allow visitors to experience the County’s watershed firsthand, as well as learn about the lagoon’s ecosystem.

Slater-Price cut the ribbon to the new nature center along with event speakers, Renee Bahl (immediate left), Director for the County Parks and Recreation Department, and Doug Gibson (immediate right), the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy's Executive Director/Principal Scientist.
