Program December 8, 2015: Noreen Martin “Martin Resorts-California Coast Trail Project”
By Dick Dannells
At 12:38 PM, Pres. Joel opened the meeting with the usual introduction of guests.
FINES:
Pres. Joel considered Andy Park’s guest introduction of John Traversaro’s wife simply as Marcia deserved a $40 fine, which John paid because he felt his name was sufficiently difficult for Andy to pronounce. Because of noise coming from the table of Dick Dannells, Steve Curry, Chuck Anders, Paul Holden, Tommy Thompson and Cliff Nagler, Pres. Joel levied a $5 fine on everyone at this table. Greg Steinberger’s smart phone infraction cost him a $40 spin-the-wheel fine. Mike Kee donated $39 Happy Bucks to recognize his wife’s birthday.
announcements:
Linda Osty reported that a large number of members volunteered to help at the Fair Oaks Theater showing of “The Miracle On 34th St.” this coming December 12 at 11 AM. She anticipates that all 288 seats will be filled. John Traversaro reminded everyone of the Pinot for Polio meeting after this meeting. Sharon Ellis announced that there will be no charge for the Edwards Barn holiday party on Wednesday, December 16 starting at 6 PM.
PROGRAM: Noreen Martin “Martin Resorts-California Coast Trail Project”
Ashlea Boyer introduced Noreen by going to her on-line biography, which states that for the last 10 years, she became the Chief Executive Officer of Martin Resorts, a family-owned organization, and which has a number of hotels on the Central Coast. They include the Best Western Shore Lodge and the Lighthouse Pismo Beach and Avila Beach Suites. Noreen began by stating that the resort industry, which affects us all in this area, provides a number of resort entry-level sustaining jobs. She then described the California Coast Trail Project as one of restoration. The Project includes (1)providing bluff top walk ways; (2) utilizing Geo webbing for soil stabilization; (3) ing the bluffs; (4) providing additional access to beach with a new staircase connecting to the Ventana Grill; and (5) providing continuous coast access from Dinosaur Cave Park to the Pismo Beach pier. It will also provide contiguous accessibility to the California Coastal Trail, which is halfway to reaching its goal of a hiking trail along or near the 1200 mile coastline.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY BY PAUL JONES:
