Expedited Homeless Services
As we have come to expect SWAG and our homeless outreach partners continue
to make strides in navigating the complex network of homeless services to help
those who are willing to take the step towards recovery. This month we had a
great example of how SWAG's wrap around approach keeps people from falling
through the cracks. The outreach team identified a new client named Daniel
while checking on local shopping centers and businesses. They immediately
went to work to help him through the complexity of entering detox and
transitioning to a short term recovery program. For those attempting this on
their own the process can be daunting and is full of potential downfalls. With
SWAG's help he was able to complete detox and move directly into a transitional
supportive housing unit, all within three weeks. Our team is very hopeful of
Daniels continued success.

Park Ranger Campfire Program
The Park Rangers have been hosting campfire talks and sharing s'mores at Spirit
Park. The Ranger Campfire Program was created as a way for Park Rangers to
share some outdoor interpretive programing while interacting with the
community at our local parks. Two campfire talks were given in August covering
the topics of attracting wild bird and a special visit from LLL Reptile. Children
participating in the interpretive talks made bird feeders and got to see a variety
of reptiles. The community turn out was great for this summer series and it has
been well reviewed. This event has had such great success that it will continue
into the Fall and Winter with future dates to be announced.

BMX Ride
The City of Menifee opened up the AMR Skatepark for a free day of BMX
riding to show our support for the BMX riders and to help promote our bike
only sessions. The Park Rangers are looking for ways to work with riders and
businesses in the industry to highlight our premier facility and to promote
safety and alternative sports to youth. Gail Webb lent a hand to promote this
event and provide some swag to give to participants. We hope to keep
working to have fun events that will help make us the best park in the area.
