WJA San Diego


President's Message: September

It's almost Fall. Ok, I'm rushing it a bit, but hey if the Halloween Super Store is already advertising, so can I.

So, what's new with WJA San Diego?
Well, in early August we enjoyed a Day at the Races which is quickly becoming a summer tradition for us! I think this was the 3rd annual!

We've had a Happy Hour event each and every month. We call it "Last Thursday" and it's the last Thursday at every month. That's the when part. The where - well, that varies so you'll have to check your email for the info or check our calendar right here.

And, you better save this date: December 8 because that's our 2010 holiday party and it'll be at the San Diego Natural History Museum. That's right, we're rolling VIP with a private tour and of course good wine and good food. 

Last thing: We've recently had a few board positions open up and we're looking for some new members. We're seeking board members to fill the following open positions:

  • Secretary
  • Programs

And as always, we can always use your help and would welcome new faces. So, volunteer on a committee or ask how you can become more involved. Just email me at dana@mmgoldsmith.com, I'd love to hear from you!
