2007 Tour of San Diego Youth & Community Services

On Friday July 13th 2007, our Community Service chair Shari Joyce of Pegasus Building Services led a tour of our charitable organization San Diego Youth and Community Services (SDYCS) (use this link to visit their website).  Joining Shari were Bethann McCarthy of DFS Flooring, Mel Marshall of Pac Rim Mechanical, Dan Griffin of Northrop Grumman, & Marcia Fisher of Parron Hall.   Amy Garcia from SDYCS showed the group three of their programs in need of our assistance:

  1. The Bridge, a temporary residential shelter program for adolescents who are experiencing difficulties,
  2. The Storefront, San Diego’s only emergency night shelter program for homeless, runaway, and “street” youth
  3. NFL Youth Education Town, a high-tech educational and recreational center created as a collaborative project of the National Football League and San Diego Youth & Community Services. Its mission is to prevent juvenile delinquency and improve the academic and physical fitness-related skills of young people.

Tours were completed of the interior facilities as well as the exterior grounds. Thanks to Mel Marshall of Pac Rim, the air conditioning is now working at NFL Youth Education Town.   Also thanks to Bethann McCarthy of DFS Flooring for providing the baseboards and labor for installation in a room at The Storefront that had been hit by mildew.

We have a list of action items and are welcoming any volunteers who may want to assist with the completion of things like painting, donation of ceramic  flooring (or give us a killer deal), tear out of carpet and installation of tile, pulling out a tree, and pouring some concrete, donation of furniture, etc.   For a full list and to volunteer, please contact Shari Joyce, 858-444-2290 x16 or shari@pegasusbuildingservices.com.


Mel, Dan, Marcia, BethAnn, Shari, and Amy.
