End of the Year Branch Meeting
Saturday, June 8 10:00 am In Person
Laguna Lakes Mobile Estate Annex
On June 8th we will be holding our final Branch Meeting of the year at 10:00 am in the Annex at the Laguna Lakes Mobile Estate at 1801 Prefumo Canyon Rd. It will include the election and installation of our 2024-2025 officers. As of the writing of this article, we are still in need of a VP of Membership and a VP of Programs. If you are interested in either of these positions, please contact our president Debra Valencia-Laver or come to the meeting and volunteer then. Our Named Gift Honoree will be announced at this time, as well as an overview of the past year. Being a morning meeting, breakfast treats and coffee will be provided. We hope to see many of our members there as it is one of our few in person meeting.
Our May Branch Meeting was our yearly introduction of our High School Scholarship winners. We presented 10 scholarships this year due to your generous donations. Six of the recipients accepted our Zoom invitation. Sadly, we had only a few members present to hear the plans of Nina Moutafoa, Allegra Highland, Rebecca Gee, Xavier (XC) Clements, Zoe Elliot, and Julia Rizzo. Questions were asked and clearly answered by all the girls. We finished up our scholarship night with a presentation from our Cal Poly scholarship recipient, Berenice Sanchez Hernandez. She could not be with us in person, but Debra played a video of her recent interview with our recipient. It was interesting to hear of her plans for the future. Debra had also included a synopsis of this interview in our May newsletter. If you haven't read it yet, please do so.
As I complete my final article for the year, I would like to thank all of you for your support of these programs and the kind feedback I have received about how you enjoyed them. I will not be returning as VP of Programs for the next year. I have used up all my resources on my list and look to someone new who will develop new and exciting programs for the coming year.
Have a super summer and see you at our first Branch Meeting in September.
Esther Pudlo
VP for Programs
