President's Message

This past week we were fortunate to learn about the new San Francisco 49ers Museum along with the 49ers STEM program for youth. 49ers Museum Director, Jesse Lovejoy, gave us an early peak of the new Museum at Levi Stadium, which will be opening in August. The Museum is unlike any other in the NFL with 11 gallery and exhibit spaces depicting the history and heritage of the NFL team. More information about the museum can be found at http://www.levisstadium.com/museum/. Special pricing is available for residents of Santa Clara. The Museum will be open daily. On game days a game ticket is required.

 

Jesse also spoke about the new STEM Leadership Institute the 49ers Foundation is sponsoring in collaboration with Chevron, the Santa Clara Unified School District, and the Silicon Valley Education Foundation. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math The STEM curriculum targets 7^th graders and is designed to teach the students how the components of STEM can be applied to everyday life.  The initial ribbon cutting for the Institute took place on July 18, 2014 at the Chevron STEM Zone interactive classroom at Santa Clara’s Cabrillo Middle School.

At this week’s meeting our guest speaker is the City & County Mayor of Limerick Ireland. Limerick is a Santa Clara Sister City and the home of our own Club’s sister Club.  The Honorable Kevin Sheahan is in the area this week and he will not only speak at our meeting but will be our guest at the August 2^nd Earthquakes’ soccer game being held at Levi Stadium.  Being Irish this is sure to be an entertaining and informative meeting. The meeting this week may also have historical significance so plan on attending.
