Summer is over, but CanDiego would like to let you know about some exciting
upcoming events. San Diego is a great place to be any time of the year, and
autumn is no exception. We may not get the Fall Colours of the leaves on trees
turning gold, red, and brown as they do in Canada, but we do get year-round
palm trees, the beach, the desert, the mountains, and of course, the ocean.
CanDiego wishes you a great start to the fall season and hope that you will
join us for some upcoming events. And, Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!

that would be appropriate, please contact teena@candiego.org.
