Executive Director's Notes

By Franҫoise Rhodes

September is here and that is when my nerves start setting in for Borrego Days. So many details to finalize, vendor signups, sponsors, banners, media and the list goes on and on. For those who have done this, you know what I'm talking about. On the flip side the excitement starts to build and I can't wait for the festival. BTW, please don't send me daily weather updates as we get closer to the festival, I'll be checking the weather everyday as well.;-)

Remember the parade and car show are FREE to enter.

All of the forms you need for Borrego Days are printed and at the Chamber, or you'll find downloadable forms below that you can fill out online.

Joy McBride will start contacting past volunteers and looking for new Borrego Days volunteers soon. It's a lot of fun! If you'd like to volunteer please call the Chamber and leave your contact info.

Borrego Community Cleanup

Borrego's community clean-up is held the first Saturday of every month, commencing at The Circle and fanning out to nearby areas either on foot or by car to pick up litter. The Chamber provides the bags and pickers; 

all you need to do is bring yourself.

The Community Clean-up will be on a summer hiatus during July and August. People can still pick up trash on their own schedules and in their neighborhoods, call Marcy Yates, (760) 767-4287 for more information.

The Registrar of Voters is calling on community members to sign up as poll workers for the Nov. 3

Benefits include:

• A daily stipend of $145 from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2

• $240 on Election Day due to expanded hours

• Additional pay for bilingual poll workers: $5 extra per day and $10 extra on Election Day

Poll workers must:

• Be a U.S. citizen registered to vote in California or a lawful permanent resident

• Have reliable transportation to and from the assigned vote center

• Complete two days of in-person training (paid a $95 daily stipend)

• Be available to work four or 11 days, including extended hours on Election Day

Poll workers open and close vote centers, assist voters, answer questions and complete stipend paperwork.

The Registrar is seeking team members with strong customer service skills, leadership, flexibility, patience, and integrity. All poll workers must serve in a professional and nonpartisan manner.
