DON SEVRENS
(First term expires 2027)
|
I have lived in Point Loma
for a half century and we raised two daughters, both
with master's degrees from California schools. I am a
lifelong journalist and investor. My hobbies include
favorite walks, kayaking and peninsula dining.
As a volunteer, I have led the effort to to build a
pocket park on Avenida de Portugal and am co-leading the
drive to enhance the drab Voltaire Street bridge with
dramatic railing and stylistic night lighting.
Small businesses starting on the Peninsula often need
help in cutting red tape or getting the word out. I
provide that pro bono. I helped introduce Jensen's to
the community with a welcoming block party.
The board just completed an election despite the
pandemic. Mail balloting resulted in record
turnout and should be considered again. With energetic
new members, we can and should be a source of activism
for our neighborhoods.
