Solis said the department hosted two senior talk sessions in August (intermittent fasting on Aug. 11 and life-saving devices on Aug. 25) and organized a senior excursion to Coronado Island on Aug. 13. Arts-and-crafts classes and a birthday celebration for five seniors were among the other August activities she reported.

The intergenerational community garden continues to operate and will host a master compost class in October and November in partnership with the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources, Solis said. The Mary Phillips Senior Center will celebrate its 32nd anniversary with an event on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 10:30 a.m., she added.

Commissioners asked about garden schedules and food use; Solis said the garden is open Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m. (10 a.m. during fall and winter), that participants share harvest with fellow gardeners and that surplus produce is shared with lunch-program participants.

Solis said the cool center remained available during heat events and that staff extended weekend hours once during an August heat advisory.

No formal action was taken on the senior services update.","Senior services presented recent programs including senior talks, a Coronado Island excursion, arts and the intergenerational community garden; the Mary Phillips Senior Center will mark its 32nd anniversary Sept. 11.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6472799,"Temecula human services reports 4,554 summer meals, Camp SOAR and 275 back-to-school kits",272,1068000,1340000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5774947-0f50dd4cf9f16f075b64a0a9a11243a1&start=1068&end=1340","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5774947-0f50dd4cf9f16f075b64a0a9a11243a1/thumbnail_1068000.jpg","/articles/6472799/Temecula/Riverside-County/California/Temecula-human-services-reports-4554-summer-meals-Camp-SOAR-and-275-back-to-school-kits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472799-278302b2423e88e247b8b3c664030099/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947762&Signature=MuWLeezTWSMeKQOosf2VMSdToFBb5waN7~qxrhcgDEj29SGShdEbrxbxqdfg9DnsI50pzMSDOO5WEVXcAYYxCWM6I8S1oa5nPJyIRLS4-UwZN6nUENzhihsX7TYUmCng-ibxJOU8~wW1Z5gT20GSV2MB26Ih-sF73fQ6bKmSM8L49UhVZUrUYMBvZuZqV-POD8CljDja0t3JQ2nRX41JH7MzGV3-X8jdsApA-xav5O0lcm~MiO~bC9pYb6lEWdm75KzUtVoSzbi8Ran68uW9WtOm0gBdrWKvWCkHX65nxNuHXdoI~KMHjOZem36TP7Dp8n0B8uh7fH4lviOfPALz2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cassandra Ambriz, community services coordinator for the City of Temecula, told the commission that human services provided thousands of meals and ran multiple inclusive summer programs this year.

Ambriz said the federally funded, state-administered Summer Food Service Program served 4,554 meals this summer, with roughly 700 of those distributed in August. The program ran Monday through Friday at noon from June 16 through Aug. 8, Ambriz said.

\"The summer food service program is a federally funded, state administered summer meal program that ensures youth ages 18 and under or 18 and over with a disability are provided free nutritious meals while school is out of session,\" Ambriz said.

Ambriz described Camp SOAR, a summer camp with themes and enrichment activities, and the Eagles SOAR inclusive playground and splashpad social-skills program run in partnership with the Disability Sports Foundation. She said the city also operates the MRC Connect shuttle program, which offers free rides from the Margarita Recreation Center to libraries, museums and parks and is aimed at preschool-age children and their caregivers.

As part of back-to-school efforts, the human services team distributed 275 school-supply kits on Aug. 7; staff said aquatics staff donated 115 of those kits. Ambriz credited partnerships with the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library and Grace Millman Community Library for literacy programming tied to camps.

Commissioners asked whether federal funding for the summer meals would continue next year; Ambriz said the program this year was federally funded and administered by the state and that staff would follow up with commissioners about future funding.

No formal action was taken on the report.","Community services staff told commissioners the federally funded Summer Food Service Program served 4,554 meals this summer, Camp SOAR and inclusive programs continued, and a back-to-school event distributed 275 supply kits.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6472805,"Temecula aquatics division reports strong summer participation and recognizes volunteers",927,99000,1026000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5774947-0f50dd4cf9f16f075b64a0a9a11243a1&start=99&end=1026","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5774947-0f50dd4cf9f16f075b64a0a9a11243a1/thumbnail_99000.jpg","/articles/6472805/Temecula/Riverside-County/California/Temecula-aquatics-division-reports-strong-summer-participation-and-recognizes-volunteers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472805-791c95ce6d33f755bf4da92cc531caee/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947762&Signature=QV-SY0sd~1TOylM-DxADBXkJW4pv3r4VjB39fYRC13m0vYaip~~MFuQq9TYJ29s83Y7Yfpi0DxEB6cZuiVowYxGDSILOcAj2kB5hxsEr~51DNqk~bgBHDZjgPY8o0V~YXtWFbb4rlslG88cCrulQMhYxlugIhvK4iXJ-XpyjHikl64nDwXGOtze0JNSmkArdm67A9MKWzpWK~URyVWjyManCBJsh51nd2KGW7wq3X7If6b4OpI70YtF4lvD4QR34qNptfD8gfAUm3k~ZL42n9OYCSQxGC1q~c4g9li~pln~n5vNhnnGFUiEsTgVOCxM-h0dD2DY8m4dyuHM4Rsmi0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Temecula Community Services Commission heard Tuesday that the city's aquatics division served thousands of residents this summer and that volunteers contributed more than 1,600 hours to support programming.

The aquatics presentation, led by aquatic supervisor Mary Walton and senior lead lifeguards Shay Cross and Zachary Gonzales, said the city ran programs at three pools — the Community Recreation Center, the Margarita Recreation Center (MRC) and Chaparral High School — offering lap swim, swim lessons, water exercise and public swim sessions.

City staff said 4,902 participants took swim lessons during the June\bto\bAugust summer season, and an additional 1,199 participants were recorded in fall and spring lessons. Public-swim attendance for the summer totaled 24,531, staff reported. The division said it offered two scholarship streams for lessons this year; 547 participants were eligible for scholarship aid.

\"We are presenting today on our 2025 summer season recap for our aquatics division,\" Mary Walton said during the presentation.

Staff also reported roughly 5,000 participants used lap swim across the three facilities and about 1,000 patrons participated in water-exercise classes. Walton said contract instructors and new offerings 'including aqua yoga, aqua pilates and an in-pool sound bath'drew increased interest and helped expand attendance at the Margarita Recreation Center.

The division described its workforce and training: about 120 part-time aquatics staff, including lead and senior lifeguards, water-safety instructors and lifeguard instructors. Walton said pre-season training is roughly 40 hours per person, and lifeguards complete mandated training of four hours per month during the summer.

Commissioners and staff recognized volunteers who assisted as water-safety aides, junior lifeguards and \"swim buddies\" in the adaptive program. Speaker remarks and staff materials said junior lifeguards provided over 900 volunteer hours and swim buddies provided over 700 volunteer hours; a commission remark summarized total volunteer time as \"1,600 hours plus.\" Staff handed certificates to volunteers at the meeting.

\"These programs wouldn't be possible without their assistance,\" Walton said.

Commissioners asked about program growth and the role of the Margarita Recreation Center; Cross and Gonzales said new contract instructors and facilities enabled more adaptive and specialized classes.

The commission did not take formal action on the presentation; staff said public swim hours continue through October at city facilities.","Aquatics staff told the Community Services Commission that pools hosted thousands of participants this summer, delivered scholarships and training, and logged more than 1,600 volunteer hours; staff recognized junior lifeguards, swim buddies and water safety aides.","actionData","errors"]
