Of the various community organizations once active here, the Volunteer Fire Department, Citizens Alliance for Wonder Valley, Wonder Valley Improvement Group, Wonder Valley Citizens against the Formation of a Community Services District (CSD), American Legion Auxiliary Post 729, and the Wonder Valley Hiking Club, the Dale Basin Well Owners Association is the only one still extant.</div><div><br /></div><div>More than ever, Wonder Valley needs a clear, consistent, non-partisan voice in matters effecting our community. While membership in the DBWOA has been traditionally limited to those who owned wells, the organization is in the process of amending it's bylaws to expand its membership to all Wonder Valley residents, property owners and stakeholders. The mission of the DBWOA is also being updated to include all water related issues and to provide a voice for the community in dealings with County, Special Districts (CSA 70 M) and others local area, state and federal agencies such as Morongo Basin water districts and the Bureau of Land Management.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Sunday March 13, 2022 membership meeting is for the election of a new 6-member board of directors and discussion of amendments to the bylaws to institute an expanded membership and mission for the DBWOA. Copies of the DBWOA incorporation document, revised bylaws, and agendas of the the special subcommittee that met over last Summer will shortly be available on the <a href="https://www.dalebasinwellowners.org/" target="_blank">DBWOA website</a>. The agenda for the March meeting will be posted online and at the WVCC later this week and public comments are welcome at the meeting.</div><div><br /></div><div>Former DBWOA president Steve Reyes will kickoff the meeting and suggest a framework for an expanded role for the organization, and provide a report of topics impacting the Morongo Basin.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Wonder Valley Community Center is located at 80526-1/2 Amboy Road, Wonder Valley. and the WVCC coordinator James Dunham can be reached at 760-367-9880.</div>Ken Sitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07506210028171866801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839513217559961114.post-8390331869670751342022-03-02T12:06:00.001-08:002022-03-04T13:16:40.540-08:00Bystander Overdose Response Training a Success<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFgt9e14wQQQq5XXT6MONDYxTLKYScwpRmD4-oORmVErERWBWEGBEwFgB3BwZSMmMffozDl3wGFRL2futOzOdWMVB28q2fIEI5vTfMxpeJputz1NoZHPnfxUksHekrM7yzl1j4EnurAxDWxpl9hf34P4Gv-JwHxR3JNTzhFmITltJmxvcMqA0W1vLq=s1005" style="clear: left; display: block; float: left; padding: 0em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="1005" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFgt9e14wQQQq5XXT6MONDYxTLKYScwpRmD4-oORmVErERWBWEGBEwFgB3BwZSMmMffozDl3wGFRL2futOzOdWMVB28q2fIEI5vTfMxpeJputz1NoZHPnfxUksHekrM7yzl1j4EnurAxDWxpl9hf34P4Gv-JwHxR3JNTzhFmITltJmxvcMqA0W1vLq=w640-h333" width="575" /></a><br clear="all" />

<br />The <a href="https://www.dalebasinwellowners.org/" target="_blank">Dale Basin Well Owners Association</a>'s (DBWOA) bi-annual membership meeting will be held Saturday, November 13, 2021 at 11 a.m. the Wonder Valley Community Center, 80526½ Amboy Road in Wonder Valley.<p></p><p>The Dale Basin Well Owners Association aims to provide a unified and legal entity in all matters related to the Dale Basin aquifer and its well owners' interests. Founded over 32 years ago, the DBWOA is nonpolitical and advocates for conservation measures to protect the natural desert aspects of the Dale Basin Area and preserve its waters from intrusion by outside interests.</p><p>Last Spring a working subcommittee was constituted and tasked with reviewing the DBOWA's mission and bylaws, updating its communications and outreach, and a renewed focus on current threats including proliferating illegal cannabis 'grows,' groundwater mining, and the impact of the continuing drought. The subcommittee met several times over the Spring and Summer to prepare its recommendations to the general membership.</p><p>Long time Wonder Valley resident and member of the DBWOA Jim Copeland will provide a short presentation on the history of the Dale Basin aquifer and efforts to protect it.</p><p>Everyone is welcome to attend. Membership is open to well owners in Wonder Valley for $5 a year (hurry, before annual dues go up!). Please attend and bring your well owning neighbors.</p><p>For more information, visit the <a href="https://www.dalebasinwellowners.org/" target="_blank">Dale Basin Well Owners Association website</a> or contact the DBWOA at <a href="mailto:info@dalebasinwellowners.org">info@dalebasinwellowners.org</a></p><p>See <a href="https://www.wondervalley.org/search?q=well+owners+meeting" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">previous Dale Basin Well Owners posts</a></p>Ken Sitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07506210028171866801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839513217559961114.post-68480759137501551102021-09-28T10:37:00.001-07:002021-09-28T10:37:19.587-07:00Joshua Springs 29 Palms Campus<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XeFOc6mgeWY/YVNQaKdc24I/AAAAAAAAMGc/N1RD1WM4d1UKGftXkmhY7se3rsiENGwygCLcBGAsYHQ/s1354/Screenshot%2B2021-09-28%2B10.25.46%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="1354" height="190" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XeFOc6mgeWY/YVNQaKdc24I/AAAAAAAAMGc/N1RD1WM4d1UKGftXkmhY7se3rsiENGwygCLcBGAsYHQ/w431-h190/Screenshot%2B2021-09-28%2B10.25.46%2BAM.png" width="431" /></a></div><br />They're HERE.<br /><br />Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel is now in control of the former Godwin Christian Fellowhip on Godwin near Highway 62. <p></p><p>For a brief period between the closing of GCF and the transfer to JSCC we had an egalitarian ratio of churches to bars -- 1:1.

We will come around, take your name(s), and as you drive up to the loading zone, we’ll bring your bag(s) to your car. Please be patient and follow all instructions from the volunteers. This is to insure your safety and the safety of our volunteers and staff. Thank you.</p><p>The WVCC is CLOSED. The park is closed.</p><div><br /></div>Ken and Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15328121807324369721noreply@blogger.com
