Care N'Share Toy Drive coming up at the Del Mar County Fair
For 15 years the Torrey Pines Rotary Club  has been collecting toys at the San Diego County Fair Since its inception, The Care ‘n Share Toy Drive has collected and distributed over 110,000 toys to children in need.
 
Thanks to generous donations from the San Diego community, the Care 'n Share Toy Drive has distributed over 110,000 new & gently used stuffed animals to help put smiles on the faces of sick children in the region and to comfort those in need. Hospital Infantil de las Californias shared how these toys are especially helpful for children facing surgeries, as their attention is directed toward the new toy awaiting them at the end of the procedure.
 
This year, it’s partnering with our DMSB Rotary Club. Sign up instructions are here: 
Our very own Di Shimkus, LCSW Founding Teacher of Everyday Mindfulness, updated the club on the history and recent research related to psychoactive mushrooms. She explained how a decades-long ban on research has ended, and that some states are beginning to approve the use of psilocybin under medical supervision for the treatment of depression.
