Congratulations to the Taste of Carmel committee who delivered a world-class event at the Carmel Mission on October 1. We had the highest attendance ever with diverse food and wine offerings from our local restaurants and wineries. A very special thank you to the Union Bank team for their generous sponsorship of the event and all the volunteers who made it a magical evening.
The power outage earlier this month is a reminder for all of us to be prepared for the anticipated heavy El Nino rains this winter. Carmel-by-the-Sea's Police Chief Calhoun and Commander Tomasi have published an Emergency Information & Resource Guide which has a basic emergency preparedness overview and a local resource list. Please contact the Carmel Police Department, 831-624-6403, or the Carmel Chamber of Commerce for a copy. In addition to the items listed in the guide, Commander Tomasi suggests having the following:
- Extra medication; at least a three-day supply should you become stranded.
- A regular plug-in phone since most phones are battery operated and if the power is out, the phone won't work. A $5.00 old-style phone can make a difference.
- A plan for pets; extra food, medications and a storage container.
Our Awards of Excellence Gala dinner is scheduled for December 9 at 6:00 at Quail Lodge. This annual event presented by Hayashi Wayland celebrates excellence in 14 categories plus Business of the Year. Enjoy an exquisite meal and sample a variety of wines from wine sponsor 93923 Wines.
We hope you are enjoying the abundance of the fall season, arguably the best season in Carmel...warm days and cool nights prepare us for the upcoming holiday season.
See you around town.
