Our speaker for Thursday’s meeting was Casey Williams of Recology. His topic was to be “Talkin’ Trash.” Casey, however, did not show (I guess we aren’t trashy enough for him), so we had our own ‘talkin’ trash’ (Sunrise Style) meeting. Lead by President Elect Paul, individual members spoke about their recent experiences, including high-fives and recent events. We heard from our guest, Steve Berger, a retired Pediatric Dentist who now lives in Oakmont. Steve is working on a photobook called “Beauty in the Backyard” with photos he’s taken from his Oakmont 1st Fairway backyard. (Hopefully, no photos of Sunrisers making terrible shots!). 
Jim Gray is busy: His son Cameron is finishing his 8-year-plan degree from Sonoma State University! Cameron is now about to work on his master’s degree. Jim is also busy with his teenage son. As Jim says, “what a thrill.” And, Jim is about to have an article published in a new book. His article is called “Culture and Critical Care.” Seems timely. Well done, Jim! 
Peter and Mary Banks are staying sheltered and have come up with a new game involving a variation of water polo. I didn’t get the details, but Peter and Mary are resourceful, so I’ll bet it is a good way to pass time during a pandemic. 
Harry Coffey gave a shout-out to Javier Fonseca, who is a finalist for the Executive Director position at the Pediatric Dental Initiative, a local group of health care providers, child advocates, and social service programs working to assist the unmet oral needs of our low income children. Harry did not mention what the position is, but we think Javier is going to great. 
Some other odds and ends: Roy and Barbara Johnston are excited about their new rescue puppy, Petey, a 5-year old Bison. Max Childs gave a shout out to Grossman’s Nochery and Bar, which is open Wed-Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (best Reubens ever!) and Rob Sanville is the proud father of Chef in Charge at Monti’s, bringing in the highest income in the Stark’s restaurant group (maybe we can foster a competition with Grossman’s?). Well done Sunrisers – who needs a speaker?
