Upcoming events:
June Chapter Picnic - Has been postponed. Chapter news and info has been mailed out, you can download the Flyer here.
The picnic will be rescheduled, hopefully August, we will let the member know via flyer or newsletter. The plans remain the same, it will be held at Martin Tudor Jurupa Hills Regional Park (click for map), 11660 Sierra Ave., Fontana. 12 Noon to 3 p.m. (or whenever). Chapter will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, sodas, members are encouraged to bring a pot luck dish to share.
July General Meeting moved to July 11 due, at the time, to the proximity of the start of the National Convention. It was also when the 2009 Scholarships were to be presented. The church was contacted about using the social hall (usual meeting location), they said yes - no problem. The chapter vice president, secretary/treasurer and one director arrived at about 9 a.m., there was no church representative (actually there was NO church members there). The building was locked, as well as the gates. The scholarship recipients arrived, and no one else. The board members decided to award them their scholarships. We stayed until 10:15, to make sure no one else was going to show, then left a note on the gate and left. We hope this was a "summer thing" and not a communication error. The August 15th meeting is still on schedule. Hope to see you there (see above for time/location).
Officers for 2007 - 2009 are: President - Steve Mackey; Vice President - Mike Kennedy; Treasurer/Secretary - Tom Hohmann. Directors - Ed Ryan, Walter Mendoza, Jim Valdez, Pat Kelly.
