Vista del Mar Logo Contest

Did you know VDM had a logo contest in 1999 to replace the original logo? Some of the entries are shown below but watch for your Breeze HIll Beacon to see the original logo and learn who created the winning design we use today. 

Thanks to Leah Steven's daughter, Caron Soltau, for sharing the contest entries. Leah was a long-time resident who saved a lot of VDM memories. Sadly, we learned that Leah recently passed away in Ohio. She will be missed by those who knew her. RIP, Leah!

New Goose Farm Groundbreaking

Thanks to our VHOA President, Curtis Sonoda, the geese on Via Del Mar are no longer homeless.

Mystery Rock Artist Revealed

Valerie Zier-Gonzales has come out of hiding and confirmed her role as the “mystery rocker” of VDM. She began painting her rocks more than seven months ago after reading about someone doing the same thing on the internet. Valerie has insomnia so she would often be up late at night, painting and distributing the rocks around the neighborhood until her husband, Fred, said “you’re going to get shot if you keep sneaking around at night”. Valerie gave out more than 230 rocks and she still has more. If you didn’t get a rock and would like to have one, let her know. Thanks Valerie, for sharing your magical little gifts. We love them.
