Remember when we couldn’t wait for 2020 to end? Ah, the good old days, amirite?
Last week I told you that this week I’d be sharing some of Noozhawk’s exciting plans for 2021. Well, I need to postpone that till next week as we’re awaiting an update from our Newspack partners on our transition to the WordPress.com and Google News Initiative universe.
That timeline, which I expect will be completed in the first quarter, will determine the scheduling of several other projects we have in development.
In the meantime, thank you again to our Hawks Club members who made such a huge difference with their financial commitments to Noozhawk last year, and for already getting this year off to such a strong start.

As the next step in the COVID-19 testing program on campus, members of the COVID-19 Response Team recently established a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-certified laboratory â an on-campus lab approved for conducting COVID-19 diagnostic tests. The lab allows for coordination of patient sample acquisition of tests, testing logistics, case management and contact tracing efforts.Â

The COVID-19 Response Team includes faculty, administrators and staff on campus. Among the most notable is Professor Carolina Arias, who initiated the on-campus COVID-19 laboratory and has been instrumental in all aspects of its development, according to Stuart Feinstein, another leader in the initiation and integration of the laboratory who joined Sept. 1. Â
If you’re reading this, congratulations! You made it through 2020. Happy new year!
With literally 2020 hindsight, there are so many things we wish could have been different about last year.
In spite of the challenges, though, there were innumerable blessings and accomplishments.
On a personal level, my son, Will, married the love of his life, Colleen Bannon, and the Los Angeles Dodgers finally won the World Series.
From a community standpoint, a large team of us pulled off the merger of the Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria Valley chambers of commerce, creating the new Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce to be a unified and more assertive voice for business.
