UPDATE:San Diego Unified MEDIA EVENTS HAPPENING TODAY

Good Morning,
I wanted to send out a reminder of two really great event we have going on today for your coverage consideration.

The first event is the Women of Influence – Habitat for Humanity Event taking place now through 1p.m. This would be a great may day "day for the worker" story, elected officials working to build affordable homes. The two new properties under construction are part of a master-planned site co-developed by nonprofits BRIDGE Housing and MAAC, in partnership with San Diego Unified School District.

The second event is taking place at Lincoln High School at noon and will feature more than 310 high school seniors celebrating their college acceptance offers.

Let me know if you would like to cover any or all.

THANK YOU!
