An array of resource booths aligned the building ready to serve the community, namely, the San Diego Fire Department and the Southeastern Little League along with many others posted at 4343 Ocean View Blvd. Workshops, activities & resources were also made available to the Southeastern community including no-cost memory screens for brain health, job placement, and a fun zone for the kiddies.
