Marines get extra TLC
The GFWC Contemporary Women of North County has adopted local Camp Pendleton Soldiers from the Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369. Also known as the “Gunfighters” the soldiers provide air support, utility support, armed escort and airborne supporting arms coordination–day or night–under all weather conditions during expeditionary, joint or combined operations capable of world wide deployment on short notice. Recently members volunteered to serve food at “Operation Pause” at Camp Pendleton.
Local redesigns
The Five Elements design store, owned by Solana Beach resident Christa Keyser, had a hand in the renovation of Pacific Coast Grill on restaurant row in Cardiff, providing stone mosaic on the floors and a pebble wall. At L’Auberge in Del Mar, the store also provided the outdoor wood flooring and 25-foot-tall pebble waterfall by the pool bar. These architectural designs were created from tiles imported by Five Elements, from its 4,000-square-foot showroom and warehouse at 2706 Gateway Road, Carlsbad.
