P.E. Husam Hishmeh let us know that the Board Retreat would be an Husam's office on June 18th starting at 11:30 then off to a BBQ at Husam's home afterwards.
Jim Word gave us a few words about water. If you live in Santa Paula, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks or Westlake you will get State Water ... the rest of us are in big trouble. Lake Casitas is at 40% capacity and we will have to conserve another 30% this year. The really bad news is that we are halfway through an 8 year drought. 75% of Ventura County gets its water from the Colorado River or State Water.
To answer the question about desalination, it takes 14 years to get desal on line. Calleguas water is halfway through construction of a 30 mile brine line.
Midge Stork conducted the raffle and our winner was Jim Emch!!!
President Bruce asked everyone to take a Club Roster Information sheet and bring it back completed next week.
