Off to the Races
January is done, just 11 more months to go. I would like to start off by giving a special thanks to all who attended our Installation Dinner last month, including our CLCA State President Tom Sweeny. Installation of both San Fernando Valley and Channel Islands chapters was a great success.
Special thanks and best wishes to Jan Veis who for over 25 years has helped our San Fernando Valley chapter in so many ways. I hope you enjoy your retirement, Jan.
With the board installed we are working on setting up events including our Beautification Awards Competition with the Awards Banquet set for June 22 at Concessions at Encino Golf Course. This is the same location as last year’s successful Awards Banquet. Be on the lookout for a calendar of other events coming up soon, including a “How to Prepare Your Award Entries” presentation. Details TBD.
In the meantime, I recommend you begin choosing your sites for the awards and begin preparing them so that they can be in their best shape prior to judging. Remember if you need any help or if you have questions regarding the application process, please feel free to contact us.
As always if you would like to be more active in the chapter don’t hesitate to contact us and figure out where you can help out. Remember, the best way to grow is to give back and work alongside like-minded people.
