The community meeting hosted by our Morongo Basin Municipal
Advisory Council representative Steve Reyes was very interesting and
informative. Along with all the updates and a delicious lunch provided by
Steve, there was also lots of information provided by experienced exterminator
Evan Browsowsky about our current rodent problem. Thank you, Steve and Evan.
For the past four years, Redlands Airport Association
members have collected toys in November at their “Stuff a Plane with Toys for
Tots” event at Redlands Municipal Airport. The toys are then flown to our
Twentynine Palms Airport in December to be picked up by the Marines for their
Toys for Tots program. This year they had to cancel the fly-in, which usually
includes more than 30 planes, due to bad weather. So if they couldn’t come to
the Marines, the Marines came to them! The Marine Corps responded trucks and
personnel to the Redlands Airport where volunteers from the Airport Association
were waiting to help load approximately 10,000 toys! This is a fantastic group
of people who go all out to insure happy children at Christmastime. Hopefully,
next year they will be able to deliver the toys as in the past. A big thank you
to every one of them!
