This day in history. On November 17, 1800, Congress convened in the still-under-construction Capitol Building in Washington, DC, for the first time. The Capitol Building would undergo several expansions over the years, eventually growing to 16.5 acres.
Reminder: This week's meeting is offsite at Bennett's in Rocklin, at the same time, 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM.
This week's speaker is Gary McDonald, Executive Director at Stand Up Placer. He will be sharing about their mission to save lives by empowering survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, and to educate communities to stand up against these issues. They achieve this by providing comprehensive services, such as emergency shelter, housing, counseling, legal support, and community awareness programs, to survivors and their families in Placer County. Gary will be sharing more details about their programs and ways to get involved and support.
Aerospace Museum Tour
Our Aerospace Museum Tour event took place last Wednesday, and it was a hit with the kids, despite a scheduling issue with the guest speaker - it gave the kids more time to explore.
What have we been up to
Last Saturday, November 15th, some of our members and spouses got together for our Club Social, Cards, and Gars Night. It was a great opportunity for research (know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, and when to run). It was a great time had by all, and we hope we see even more members and spouses next time. Randy and Veronica had graciously opened up their home for the event, and Randy said we will be doing this again, maybe as soon as January, and are looking to expand the games to include Bunko and possibly more.
