Veteran Angel Tree has Officially Started!
This holiday season, we are supporting over 385 veterans here on the Central Coast who are in need. We invite you to stop by one of our participating locations to pick up a tag and make a difference in their lives.
The process is simple:
- Choose a tag with a veteran’s wish.
- Purchase the items listed on the tag.
- Return the unwrapped items to the location where you picked up the tag.
This year, we’ve seen a 33% increase in requests for help, and we need your support more than ever. Your generosity will bring joy and comfort to the veterans who have given so much for our country. Together, we can ensure that every veteran feels the warmth and care they deserve this holiday season.
Thank you for making this holiday season brighter for our heroes. 🇺🇸🎄

Welcome Home Military Heroes Honors 100-Year-Old WWII Veteran in Arroyo Grande! 🇺🇸🎉
Today, Welcome Home Military Heroes (WHMH), a local nonprofit based in Arroyo Grande, celebrated a truly special milestone for WWII Veteran CPL York, who just turned 100 years old!
The event was a memorable Veteran Vehicle Salute held at the Agrarian Hotel, where community members came together to show their appreciation. WHMH volunteers even sang “Happy Birthday” to CPL York, honoring his service and incredible century of life.
It was a heartfelt gathering to celebrate one of our nation’s heroes and a reminder of the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation.
Let’s wish CPL York a very happy 100th birthday and give a shout-out to WHMH for keeping the veteran spirit alive in our community! 🎂🎖️

Find a D&D group on the Central Coast
My name is Chay Comas, and I catalog local tabletop gaming clubs for D&D, Miniature Wargaming, and Trading Card Games across the Central Coast of California in this free forever newsletter.
If you're looking for a tabletop club, or how to create one from the ground up, this issue is for you. This issue covers some big news about a couple of local game designers, how to find or organize a tabletop club, features local artists, a local gamer keeping a 200+ year gaming tradition alive, a guide for organizing game clubs, and a special dedication to my father at the end.
Excerpt:
...Marshall Neal has been supporting local game conventions by running Kriegsspiel, a very historical wargame dating back to the 1800s as an officer training tool for the Prussian Army. Kriegsspiel is often referred to as the Great Grandfather of Dungeons & Dragons, as it led to more recent, and familiar, historical wargames like Napoleonic Wargames. The Napoleonic Wargames and other wargames of the 1960s and 1970s brought together the co-creators of Chainmail (Gary Gygax and Jeff Perren), which then inspired Dungeons & Dragons (Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax). Marshall has single-handedly kept the flame of Kriegsspiel alight on the Central Coast, as few still play locally. Though his international community on Discord thrives and often plays virtually, I wonder when the last in-person game will be played here on the coast...

Just wanted to say thank you anonymous friend/neighbor!
I must have dropped my wallet somewhere in the near vicinity of Templeton market this morning around 10. Started kinda freaking out about 430 this afternoon when I realized I didn’t have it. Retraced all my steps to no avail. I was completely dejected. The cash in my wallet was my grocery money to get through the next 2 weeks. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do as I was trodding up the steps to my house after a long crappy day. I saw my wallet leaning against my front door. When I saw that I knew everything would be alright. Without checking I knew my cash and cards were safe. I still did check but I already knew the answer. You drove 10 minutes out of your way to return a strangers wallet and did it anonymously. I’ve always had faith in humanity and this is why. Thank you so much friend! Wish I could look you in the eyes when I said it.

Pros and Cons of Los Osos Vs. Cambria, Cayuous, etc?
Hello All! My hubby and I have always dreamed of relocating to the Central Coast from SoCal, and we just came back from our annual trip to Monterey and stopped off in Cambria for several days. We absolutely fell in love with the coastline and literally spent all our time walking that beautiful boardwalk on Moonstone beach. We loved the quiet, we loved how early the town shut down. We are in our early 50's and don't care about a lack of social scene, we are homebodies. We are wondering about safety, utility costs, how common are power outages in the winter, is water an issue just in Cambria, or the other communities as well? We heard Cambria at times limits water use and has terrible water pressure. How expensive is the water? Also, we make roughly 250k a year combined, wondering if that is low income for this area? Does Amazon deliver same day? In reading through lots of posts about this area, most cons seem to be isolation, lack of social scene, we don't care about that. More concerned if the 101 is drivable all year round between Cambria and SLO? We are so tired of the heat and crime and traffic in SoCal, and our hope is to live in a beach town, with lots of nature and places to walk by the water. Any suggestions, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated 👍

Does anyone know what the deal is with the black helicopter flying over Santa Maria today? My coworker told me it was flying around yesterday as well.
