Another great Sorrento Valley sunset!
Got Airplane Noise?
With warm, sunny Santa Ana conditions, there is sometimes an increase in jet noise overhead. The SVTC has invited Colonel Bedell from MCAS Miramar to speak at the August SVTC meeting on issues such as jet noise. In the meantime, he urges people to contact MCAS Miramar by telephone or email to report any low flying craft or other type of disturbance.
Colonel Bedell will be speaking at the UC Planning Group (UCCA) this Tuesday at 6:30pm on Zoom. This is a public meeting and everyone is invited to attend. The meeting starts at 6 pm on Tuesday and Colonel Bedell is expected to begin his brief at 6:30 pm.

Meeting participants will initially be admitted into the meeting “waiting room” and will
be moved from there to the meeting itself. Participants will be muted on entry, and
will need to “raise their hands” to be recognized to speak. Thanks for your courtesy!
Some helpful hints:
The Participants button is at the bottom center of the Zoom video screen. Use this button to
get both a list of participants and to expose the “Raise Hands” feature at the bottom.
Leave your device muted during the meeting; this helps keep extraneous background sounds
from interfering with the meeting He also said people can call just to find out what’s going on.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Residents Name Neighborhoods - by Susan Carolin, SVTC Director of Communications, VP
You and your neighbors know the name of their neighborhood and may even relish belonging to it for any number of reasons, be it for its natural beauty, their neighbors, or just because it’s where they’ve made their home. You may say your neighborhood name with a sense of pride, and even feel pity for non-residents who are confused and ask “Where am I?” (Click here to continue reading)
