Last Chance: City Commission, Garden Contest

Deadlines can easily fall off your radar and through the cracks. Every week Encinitas Patch is here to help with Last Chance, a rundown of some windows of opportunity closing this week.

Here’s the scoop for Encinitas this week:

• The city of Encinitas has a vacancy on its Senior Citizen Commission. If you’re interested in serving, you must be at least 55 years old and apply by 6 p.m. Thursday, April 5.

• The San Diego Botanic Gardens is hosting a Victorian-themed tea party for little girls and their mothers and grandmothers. ‘Mistress Molly Quigley’ will serve as hostess for the April 9 teatime, but if you want to snag a seat, you need to register by April 5.

• If you’re a San Dieguito Water District customer with a water-wise garden that’s worth bragging about, you can enter a photo of it in the California Friendly Landscape Contest. The winner gets a $250 gift certificate, and all entries are due by Friday, April 6.
