Thanks to you!
December is finally here and with it we close another successful CLCA year… in spite of COVID. For some of the year we had great gains and at other times a few losses directly related to the COVID shutdown. But without doubt we close 2021 overcoming adversity and looking ahead to a successful 2022.
Contributing to our successes are our fantastic regular and associate members, as well as our event sponsors. Thanks to your involvement and continued support we remain strong and look ahead to an even brighter tomorrow.
For me personally, I am very grateful to the San Fernando Valley board that worked so very hard this year, and I am sure will continue to do the same next year. It is with everyone’s help and time that a year of fun and educational events and programs were made possible. So, to each of them I say THANK YOU to the following:
Luis Casas, Chairman of the Board – For your valuable input and guidance to me and the Chapter, as well as for seeking future SFV projects…
Steven Kinzler, VP Membership – For your continued counsel and wise advice throughout the year. For speaking on behalf of the Chapter whenever called upon, and for auctioneering at our Auxiliary Fundraiser…
Josh Emeterio, VP Programs – For taking head-on our projects this year and making sure they went off without a hitch…especially our Golf Tournament…
Natalie Balyasny, Secretary – For your great note taking and the support you and LCIS give this Chapter at meetings and events…
Mickey Strauss, Treasurer – For going above and beyond tackling your financial duties and organizing events, especially the LANDPAC fundraiser…
Tom Lucas, AMO Rep – For joining middle of the year and hitting the ground running, helping with the Golf Tournament, and hosting the LANDPAC fundraiser…
Cindy Strauss, Auxiliary President – For keeping our SFV Auxiliary alive and putting on a fun-filled Auxiliary LEAF Scholarship Fundraiser, doing most of the work yourself…
John Hernandez, Valleyscape Publisher – For putting our stories and events front and center in a way only you can do…
Bronwyn Miller, Website and Social Media – For all your time, creativity, and communications savvy in getting the word out to our Chapter members and beyond…
Jan Veis, Chapter Executive Secretary – For being the glue that holds this Chapter together, and without whom none of this would be possible.
Now on to a victorious 2022. With a team like this there is nothing we cannot achieve.
– Francisco Salazar, 2021 SFV Chapter President
