The Committee of 1 00 was created in order to bring together people interested in
celebrating the City's upcoming Centennial in a variety of ways. At the inaugural
meeting on September 21, 2009, 57 suggestions were heard from those present.
Mayor Cox and Councilmember Bensoussan, as founding members of the Committee
of 100, urged anyone with the time, talent, energy, interest, and/or artifacts and
memories of Chula Vista to join the Committee of 100. We continue to welcome new
members.
The intent in forming the Committee of 100 is to create a year-long birthday celebration
with large and small events sponsored by residents, merchants, organizations and
neighborhoods. The goal of these events is to commemorate, educate, inform and enjoy
the diversity and history of Chula Vista, culminating in a Centennial Anniversary event in
November 2011. The next meeting of the Committee of 100 is scheduled for Thursday,
January 21, 2010, at 6:30 pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Registering for the Committee of 100 can be completed by email to
CommitteeOf1 OO@chulavistaca.qov or by visiting the official website.
Mayor Cox and Councilmember Bensoussan ask for City Council concurrence in
requesting the assistance of the City Manager in preparing an Agenda item that would
allow the City Council to endorse ChulaVistaCentennial.ora as the City's official website,
preserve its autonomy and that of its sub-domains. With Council approval, the official
website can be linked to the City's website and facilitate a community/city partnership.
Thank you.
