STAFF UPDATES
Jon Richards
Ethan Wing
Please help us welcome our newest editions to the TRS team, Jon Richards
and Ethan Wing. Jon is our new Supervising Recreation Specialist, upon
Jessica Battaglia’s retirement. Jon is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation
Specialist and before joining our team, he was a Regional Sports Manager at
Special Olympics, Executive Director and Program Director at Adaptive
Sports and Recreation Association. He enjoys spending time with his wife
and 18 month old daughter and competing in triathlons. You will find Ethan
assisting at our many programs as our newest Recreation Leader II. He has a
Masters in Recreation, Sport and Tourism and has been working in
recreation for over 8 years running sports, aquatics and senior programming,
as well as adaptive basketball and swim programs. In his free time, he plays
basketball, writes really bad science fiction and scuba dives.
Tammy Brooks, Recreation Specialist, and Rita Morris, Clerical Assistant II, are no longer with TRS. Tammy
has transferred to Senior Citizen Services and Rita is working in Balboa Park’s Rose Garden and Butterfly
Garden. Since their new job assignments are close by, I’m sure we will still be seeing quite a bit of them.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
A WORD FROM OUR VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
What a whirlwind of a summer! Thank you very much for sharing your summer with us
and the participants. The summer camps were a success because of all the great volunteers
who helped out. We received an abundance of positive comments about our volunteers
from campers and their loved ones! We appreciate the help. With the holidays around the
corner, the Fall offers lots of fun opportunities for volunteers, including Halloween parties,
Thanksgiving feasts, and the Holiday Carnival! Don’t forget to check your emails and sign up for
programs. Volunteer slots fill up fast! In addition, our annual Best of the West Quad Rugby Tournament
requires lots of volunteer help. Contact Marisol for more info!
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Thanks to each of you for making a difference in the lives of others every, single day.
Marisol Mendoza
MAMendoza@sandiego.gov, (619) 236-7753
We are grateful for all of our wonderful volunteers who dedicate so much
time and energy to help make our programs possible. Check out this
quarter’s “Top Bananas,” exceptional volunteers who rise above and beyond
their call of duty. Please congratulate them if you see them at programs.
Point Loma Nazarene University
Melinda Reyes and Brianna Winger
Melinda and Briana first heard about TRS at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU)
through Agape Ministry, formerly known as Special Friends. Melinda volunteers because
she loves helping out and meeting new people. Brianna loves volunteering because she says
at the end of the day the participants she helped end up helping her more than she could
ever help them. When they are not volunteering or studying, Melinda likes Polynesian
dancing with her sister and Brianna enjoys the beach, reading, and eating ice cream.
Melinda has plans to earn a Masters in Public Health and Brianna hopes to find a job in San
Diego post graduation from PLNU.
USS Ronald Reagan Volunteers
The USS Ronald Reagan first contacted Therapeutic Recreation Services when they
were out at sea and since their return in August they have volunteered at Tandem,
Leisure Seekers, and have assisted in creating our dream craft room, logging in over
100 hours! The group decided to volunteer because they consider themselves a moving
city with every talent known to man and they want to be a blessing to their new city as
much as possible. They are a multicultural group with many interests and talents. The group enjoys traveling,
hiking, fishing, helping others in need, painting, reading, shopping, working out, cooking and eating.
