Member News

With thousands of members spread out across California, CACM was looking for a way to keep in touch with all of our members’ latest happenings.

The Member News page is CACM’s new online bulletin board designed to feature our members’ most recent news, both personal and professional. Select stories will also be featured in Vision magazine.

Here are a few of our latest submissions:

MARCH 2013 CACM Member Clint McClure & Family Welcome Baby Boy Clint McClure, CCAM, and his wife Lea welcomed a healthy baby boy on March 2, 2013. William Donald McClure was born at 7:47 pm in Encinitas, California, weighing in at 7 lbs., 11 oz., and measuring 20.5 inches long. “As you can see, he gets his good looks from his mother,” says McClure, who has been a CACM manager member since 2008 and a part of the Vision Editorial Committee for several years. Congratulations on your new addition McClure family!

Gachina Landscape Management Recognized for Water Savings

Gachina Landscape Management, Inc. was recognized by the Marina Coast Water District for its water savings over the past three years in the 500-home community of Seaside Highlands in Seaside, California. Landscape water use in the community, which spans 19.5 acres and includes 5.3 acres of turf and 14.2 acres of shrubs and groundcover, has been steadily dropping for the past three years, and its landscape water use in 2012 was down 12.3% compared to 2011.

According to Gachina, a CACM affiliate member since 2004, the water savings was achieved by replacing 7,496 nozzles, cutting water to mature plant material, reducing run time on turf and shrubs, removing turf, programming existing clocks to historic ET, and constantly monitoring to check percentages, adjusting as necessary.
