Executive Director's Notes
By Fran?oise Rhode

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to former Chamber Team Membe

Hilda MacFarland, who recently passed away peacefully surrounded by family

RIP Dear Hilda

The media visitors from France have come and gone, and what a great time they had. While in Borrego they took a California Overland Tour, saw the Sky Art Metal Sculptures, went to the Farmer’s Market, had breakfast at Kendall’s and stayed at the Borrego Springs Resort. Their consensus to me “This is such a special place, one night isn’t enough.”

Borrego Springs is in the news once again for several things, one being the rare green comet flying by earth Jan 31 through February 2. However the best chance to view is on February 1, and will be mostly visible from dark sky areas as stated in the news article posted below.

The botanists are all abuzz about a potential “superbloom” in our valley. Media outlets throughout Southern California are already talking about it, but no one can be sure what will happen. One thing they are certain of (and saying) is that there are beautiful flowers to be seen right now.

Rainbow and whimsy by Gordon Cruise McBride

Many of the streets in Borrego Springs are named after the brands
(used on branding irons) of past ranches in the area.
Can you name this street?

Answer: Five Diamonds Road
Congratulations to: Charlie Carpenter

(If there is more than one correct answer we'll draw a winner)

SDGE will be conducting work on the transmission line that feeds Borrego Springs. Unfortunately we will not be able to use the microgrid to mitigate these short outages. Below are the times and dates of each of the outages:

Outage – Monday, 01/30/23 from 02:00am to 02:15am / Outage will be up to 5 mins within the scheduled window

Outage – Monday, 02/06/23 from 03:00am to 03:15am / Outage will be up to 5 mins within the scheduled window

Brain Teaser

Question: I am used to bat with, yet I never get a hit.
I am near a ball, yet I am never thrown.
What am I?

You'll find the answer towards the bottom of the eblast!

Did You Know?

Did you know that rainbows can only be seen in the morning or late afternoon? It is because the sun needs to be less than 40 degrees above the horizon.
