"Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Big SIR
Adrian Verduzco
Happy May everyone.
Spring is definitely here with touches of Summer warmth. May is a month that has Holidays and festivals such as Cinco de Mayo, Mothers Day and Memorial Day, the start of the Summer season. So get out and do things and enjoy the great weather.
We had 5 guests last month and will introduce 4 new members this month. If we keep up that pace we will be in great shape. I encourage our new members to bring a guest for lunch and also get involved with activities, which is a great way to know more of your fellow members.
Don’t forget our Annual picnic in June at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. You can buy tickets in May and June lunches. Contact Joe Hernandez if you have any questions. Joe and all the volunteers always do a great job.
See you at the Lunch.
