VISION has also grown its presence in the music community in Southern California and has sponsored many concerts. VISION was voted the “SD’s Fifth Best Live Music Venue” by San Diego’s A-List. “Come for the Music; Stay for the Message” is one of VISION’S mottos.

Interested in creating an EcoVillage? 2/16
On Feb 16 at 1pm there is a free and open meeting for those interested in knowing more about EcoVillages and creating one in San Diego. All EcoVillages are unique to the people and community that build them. Common elements are that they are environmentally friendly, have a community garden, and focus on building community. In San Diego, that may mean looking at the local economy and lack of employment. It’s about creating a life and a team of like-minded and like-spirited people.
The meeting will be at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center, 1658 Coast Blvd., Del Mar. Call 858-481-398 for more information.
