During their time with the City they worked aggressively to promote the City of San Diego as " the place to live and work." When they were elected to the County Board of Supervisors they expanded their promotional ideas to cover the entire county. One of their first efforts was to encase several of these beautiful commemorative medals in Lucite with the Board of Supervisors name included in gold letters.
