The effort to recall embattled Mayor Bob Filner officially kicks into high gear on Sunday.
To that end, there are several recall-related events happening around San Diego.
At 1 p.m., recall organizers will host a “Recall Signature –Gathering” kick-off event in the Pacific Ballroom at the Town & Country in Mission Valley from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Those who attend will be able to learn how to become a volunteer for the recall effort, as well as pick up petitions to sign and mail back to organizers.

An event notice created on the official Recall Bob Filner Facebook page reads:
“We need your help to prove that it's NOT impossible for the public to rise up and remove from office a man that has proved he is not worthy or capable of leading our city. Let's show Filner the door.”
A special march and rally are also set 2 p.m. at the Civic Center Plaza in downtown San Diego.

Meanwhile, to get the ball rolling quickly, recall volunteers will also pass out petitions at the finish line of the America’s Finest City half-marathon in Balboa Park Sunday.
Recall organizers need to collect and turn in more than 101,000 valid signatures by Sept. 26 to qualify for the ballot.
