We have many outstanding people to thank for their leadership in the past that have led this organization to be in the position to receive this award.  We are so fortunate to follow in their footsteps.

To kick off this great new year, we have added an additional meeting.  It is  a “Social ” type meeting, meaning we will not have a speaker, we will be able to get to know one another better. 

This meeting will be next week, the first Wednesday of September – September 2^nd, 2015 at Mario’s Place in downtown Riverside (across the street from the Mission Inn.)  You should have received an invitation – Please check your calendars and be sure to RSVP!
