With research proving play is critical to the overall well-being of children, 217 cities and towns, including Temecula, earned recognition from national non-profit KaBOOM! as a 2013 Playful City USA community for their efforts to give children the childhood they deserve by providing ample opportunities for play.

The Temecula Valley Entrepreneur's Exchange, also known as TVE2, is located in Temecula's old city hall building at 43200 Business Park Drive. In an effort to be proactive and spark job creation and economic vitality, the City Council repurposed the city-owned building for use as a business incubator and resource center. Our purpose is to support the growth of innovation and entrepreneurs -- as we know they are a key driver of economic growth for the region.

Temecula Valley Entrepreneur's Exchange Resource Center offers the following events in May.

The Ninth Annual Temecula Wine & Music Festival on Saturday, May 4 at Vail Lake Resort will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest County.

The Riverside County Manufacturers and Exporters Association South West Cluster meeting will be held Tuesday, May 7, at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce office beginning at 7 a.m.
