NCI Affiliates marks Disability Employment Awareness Month
Paso Robles Daily News
October 23, 2026
October is Disability Employment Awareness Month, and our neighbors at NCI Affiliates are asking Paso Robles to show up in the simplest ways: shop, donate, or hire. The nonprofit has quietly been part of the local fabric for years, helping adults with disabilities build skills, find work, and stay connected to the community we all share.
What makes this worth your attention is how ordinary the ask is. You don't need to write a check or volunteer a weekend — just keep NCI in mind next time you're buying something, cleaning out a closet, or filling a position at your business. As the Paso Robles Daily News noted this week, those small choices add up to real opportunities for people right here in town.
So this month, take a minute to learn what NCI Affiliates does. It's a good reminder that a strong Paso Robles is one where everyone gets a seat at the table — and sometimes that starts with a shopping trip or a job opening.

Paso RoblesPublic invited to Oct. 27 hearing on The Landing project at former boys school site
Big news for our northside neighbors: the City is holding a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 27, on the development agreement for The Landing — the 140-acre project planned for the old boys school site on Airport Road. This is the community's chance to weigh in before the Planning Commission, and it's the kind of meeting that shapes what Paso Robles looks like for decades. The site has sat quiet for years, so whatever happens here will affect traffic on Airport Road, nearby neighborhoods, and the character of that stretch of town. The Paso Robles Daily News flagged the hearing, and we're glad they did — these are exactly the meetings that slip by when we're busy with soccer practice and harvest season. If you've got opinions about growth, housing, or preserving open space, show up and be heard. Local decisions are made by the locals who show up. Mark your calendar, tell a neighbor, and maybe carpool.
Paso RoblesSchool board to consider safety plans, TK/K projects Oct. 27
Heads up, Paso Robles families: the school board meets Tuesday night, Oct. 27, and the agenda touches some pretty important ground — safety plans for our campuses and projects for our TK/K kids. As reported by the Paso Robles Daily News, trustees will also take a moment to recognize students who nailed perfect scores on their state tests. It's a good reminder that behind every agenda item are real classrooms, real kids, and real families across our town. If you've got a student in the district, or you just care about how our schools are run, this is one of those meetings worth keeping an eye on. Safety planning and early-education facilities aren't flashy, but they shape the daily experience for our youngest learners and everyone who walks through those doors. Take a minute to skim the agenda, and maybe give a little hometown cheer to those perfect scorers — they earned it.
Paso RoblesMayor, tourism strategist to speak at Wake Up Paso Nov. 4
Mark your calendars, Paso friends — the Chamber's Wake Up Paso breakfast is back on Nov. 4 at the Paso Robles Inn, and this one's got some real star power. The mayor and a tourism strategist are on the agenda, which tells me the conversation is going to be about where our town is headed and how we keep welcoming visitors without losing what makes Paso, well, Paso. If you've never been to a Wake Up Paso, it's one of those low-key, high-value mornings — coffee, breakfast, and a chance to hear directly from the people shaping our community. Tourism is a big piece of our local economy, especially with wine country drawing folks from all over, so hearing the strategy behind it feels genuinely useful for anyone who runs a business or just cares about our town's character. The Paso Robles Daily News had the details first, so give their piece a read. And if you're free that morning, the Paso Robles Inn is a pretty great spot to start your day.
