Meetings will cover current topics of concern for our neighborhood. Area representatives will provide updates on issues in their areas. Our elected officials have representatives present as does the San Diego Police Department and Lifeguards so we are able to share information and address specific concerns.

The board and the active members are working hard, along with elected officials, to make Mission Beach a better and safer place.
