PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:

Members;

            It was great to see many of you at our Cabrillo day luncheon celebrating our 70 years. It was a great time to be had by all; we learned many things about the start of our local club and heard about many of our founding members from Charter Members, Past State President Teofla Rosa and Past State President Spouse Gloria Silveira. Thank you Gui and Ken… our next function will be our Installation of Officers for 2008 in November, however, on Tuesday October 9th  we will be having our election of officers, If anyone would like to hold an office or be on the Board please be at this meeting or contact Janet McKay at 916-421-3312. The last big event for October will be our State Board Meeting at Pismo Beach. I would hope that many of our members would attend.

Have a great month.

 Scott J. Ingraham, President.
