Name/Business: Ashlee Giudice / Photographer
City/Community: Escondido
Unplugged Activity: I coordinate an unplugged village group for military spouses so we can build our community and support one another through the unique challenges that come with this lifestyle. We meet to do hands-on crafts and other fun activities from scavenger hunts to just sitting around with a warm cup of coffee getting to know one another. The group is open to military spouses/significant others of all branches! The group serves the San Diego area all the way up to Oceanside. If you are a military spouse/SO looking for your "village" come join us!

Unplugged Activity: We participated in a gnome hunt with 7 other wineries in our area to encourage people to unplug, come out, relax and enjoy wine and good times together. We also have a Wishing Tree at our Christmas Tree farm at the holidays which allows people to share good wishes in their community.

Unplugged Activity: I coordinate Little Free Library (LFL) Scavenger hunts in my community. LFLs are book sharing boxes where you can leave a book or take a book. We post trivia or clues on the different LFL boxes for people in our neighborhood to find. Coronado was one of 9 LFL hunts in San Diego and 60 worldwide on Aug 2021. Our themes have included nocturnal creatures and gnomes.

Name/Business: La Mesa Village Association
City/Community: La Mesa
Unplugged Activity: Our association of businesses supported an event called “Light Up La Mesa”. People decorated paper lanterns which were then displayed around the La Mesa Village in businesses, on porches, and some were hung in nursing home windows for patients to enjoy. We believe that a healthy community begins with a connected community!
Name/Business: Joe “Joe Rocks” Kane /Artist/retired Navy Photo Journalist
City/Community: Coronado
Unplugged Activity: I paint rocks as a therapeutic way to deal with my PTSD. I place them around the neighborhood so people can find inspiration and uplifting moments when they are walking around. I hope to lead a workshop on rock painting for NDU 2022 to spread the joy even farther.
