I went there a few nights ago and I was treated with absolute kindness and respect. I was made to feel that I had been coming there for years. Their hospitality is bar none. While I was there, I renewed my membership with the Post and I plan to help the VFW in July during "STAND DOWN" San Diego. Stand Down San Diego is one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs' efforts to provide many different services over an entire weekend at San Diego High School (July 15-17, 2011) to homeless veterans here in our area. If you are a Veteran of a foreign war and live in the San Diego area, I recommend that you contact VFW Post 2111. We would love to have you as a part of our organization. Thanks Ed H. for taking the time to introduce me to everybody.

She reserved the smaller room- which still held a good amount of people. Tables and chairs were provided and she had a table set up for hot food- crock pots to be plugged in. And another banquet table for gifts to be set upon. There was so much room for guests to pass through freely to the main room and outdoor patio/ rear parking lot that nobody had to squeeze between others. I'm pretty sure bartenders are volunteers here- so please be kind and tip them!

not much of a women's center anymore. very industrial area, which i like. surprised citymark is…read moresupposed to be building high end residences here across from walmart and the automotive shop. very different design for citymark as well - when i purchased one of their condos (m2i) there was a lot of architectural talk about matching the facade to the surrounding neighborhood - didn't work out that way, but i liked the exposed structural materials at that location. in the end - a condo at this location cannot be worth more than $100k or $200 a square foot for 600sf. still crazy expensive compared to what the land was sold for at around $160k for the whole lot then resold recently at $2.1 million supposedly. better question - how could a location like this be worth anything at all when there are hundreds of condos proposed for construction in la mesa on their gis website? be careful starting a business that requires foot traffic here, when m2i first started the vast majority of the businesses in that area went belly up within a few years and that was in a high traffic city location - almost no-one walks around this area. the entitled design certainly is not industrial enough for the neighborhood - makes me super sad to read about the la mesa women's club at the library while also spending $320k on a unit at m2i then learning about what they are building here / how the developer/woman's group is suing the church next door. i am a bit ashamed to have paid for one of these units from citymark in the past - m2i 506 at 1050 island ave. that was me. also of note - citymark has a habit of installing very limited finished with the expectation that owners finish the interior of the units. that can work, but you should pay appropriately. personally - i expect more from a woman's club. primarily: consideration for the longevity of the city and the architectural design which they have strong control over at this location. they definitely sold out here while beating up on the church they grew up alongside. not cool - that says something about its current members. when you have property and an opportunity to build something that develops the city you are supposed to be shepherding, but you choose to sell out like this - there's something very wrong or entirely self centered going on. this proposed citymark design also shows that the women's club does not care about fabrication or industry whatsoever (which this area is rife with), just high end residential which is not going to help the la mesa tax base. expect a glut of units in la mesa at rock bottom prices with the intent of having you drive to work on a regular basis instead of working locally (there are already huge vacancies.) also expect higher prices in this area because of fewer low dollar residences.

I've joined the OB Historical…read moreSociety, helped form OB Crime Watch and CSI OB (Clean Streets Initiative) and now I've joined the Woman's Club. You always think of little old ladies when you hear Woman's Club, at least I do, and actually, that is what this club used to be like many years ago. Now, it's filled with woman of all ages. Most just realize how cool it is to live in our little beach community and it's another way of communing with others and helping your hood out at the same time. The club has been in OB for almost 80 years, but has struggled as of late, due to lack of membership. But they have a new young VP, Mel, who has fired things up and there have been a lot of new members just in the last few weeks. The place is rented out for church groups, yoga, wedding receptions, parties...at very reasonable prices. Think about them the next time you need a place for your function. Really reasonable rental prices. What most don't know is, they have this awesome community garden that surrounds the place and anyone can pay $50 for the year and grow their own veggies in their own little plot! For $35 a yr, you can share one! With the whole farm to table movement, it's very au courant!! They meet twice a month, first and third Mondays and always have a lot of fun things planned. They just had their first annual fundraiser and lots of gifts were donated by local merchants. There was a good turn out and many won lots of cool prizes in their raffle and auction. Bigger and better next year! They will be helping out at the Halloween Carnival on Oct 26 at the Rec Center on Santa Monica Ave with cupcakes, they will be at all the cool little craft fairs on the Veterans' Plaza lawn at the end of Newport on Oct 19, and on Dec 7, 14, and the 21, we have our Thanksgiving Pot Luck on Nov 4, and we will be in the OB Christmas Parade which is always a wonderful family night. All this for only $25 a year! LIfetime memberships are $1000. Here is some cool history about the WC....The Ocean Beach Woman's Club has been a "Hub of Activity" in OB since 1934. We are one of the oldest civic groups in San Diego. We were instrumental in the paving of the OB streets, installation of the sewers, securing street lights and garbage disposal, acquiring a recreation center and public library, secured lifeguards year round, planted the streets with trees, shrubs and flowers, served as a recreation center for servicemen in WWII, helped acquire the Ocean Beach skate park at Robb Field, and our latest project the Ocean Beach Woman's Club community garden. - See more at: http://obwomansclub.org/about-ob-womans-club#sthash.LrvMmeSE.dpuf

I think at the time, 2003 or so, I was a sophomore and I was catching up on those community service hours (on top of it, I know). I remember I had to do a lot of trash pick up and cleaning up graffiti. Aside from that, in these last couple of years, I frequent the recreation center to play basketball (indoor). Their basket ball gym is so cool! First of all, its air conditioned. Second, they always music playing. And, finally, they have a total of 6 hoops. Two main ones and two on each side. However, sometimes they might have only a few down. It just depends. There's definitely regulars here who come in the afternoon to play five on five. Te best times to come are usually the first three hours after its opened. Its dead during the first couple of hours. Honestly, I love this place to shoot around, practice, relax and get away for a bit from everything.
