Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund kicks off new year of helping others

The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund kicked off a new year of activities and programs with a lunch held Sept. 16 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club.

Every year the fund targets a specific community need; this year’s focus will be on youth and education. The kickoff meeting featured a panel discussion with community educators from the private and public sector to discuss education trends, including technology and the Common Core curriculum. Speakers included Colleen O’Doyle, head of middle school at La Jolla Country Day School, and Dennis “Coach” Snyder, president/founder of the American Heritage Education Foundation.
