Steve Smith - our newest member
 
Last week, Steve Smith, a resident of Westwood, was inducted as our newest members.  Steve is the CEO of Optidial Communications, Inc, a telecommunications broker, working wih dozens of telecommunications companies to provide: long distance, local service, internet, cloud services and hosted phone systems.
 
Steve works with Lab Rescuers to rescue Labrador Retrievers from high kill shelters and find homes for them. 
 
Meeting Venue - Still Undecided
 
This coming week will be pivotal in our search for alternatives for a meeting location.  It has become clear that the cost for food service at any location will be more expensive that what we were paying in the past.  A factor in choosing a venue is staying within Rancho Bernardo. Another significant factor in any decision is whether the venue adds value to our club in terms of the quality of the surroundings.  Currently we are temporarily remaining at CCRB.  Whether we stay or move to a different location will depend on your input and the concessions we might negotiate with CCRB. 
 
SunRiser Publication during May
 
SunRiser publication will be sporadic for the rest of the month May.  Your editor leaves for Australia and New Zealand for a vacation and attendance at the Rotary International Convention at Sydney on June 1 - 4.  Since wifi access will be sporadic, so updates may be difficult. 
 
I intend to report on the activities at the convention with emphasis on events attended by members of our club and/or our district.
