So once you arrive the location, go in and take the stairs (it is *right there*in plain sight), go to 3rd floor, the conference room is right there.

Grab this opportunity to chat and meet folks~ just swing by after your work or your dinner

We want to have a large turnout, so spread the word, and BRING FRIENDS!

***We got a special guest too! Richard Ray, the president of CAD-- which is the whole state-- will be there! So this is your chance to ask questions and get ideas from him!

Cancelled Meeting-- READ ON

April 21st meeting is CANCELLED at Kim Laule's notice.

If you wish to have a meeting, contact her at klaule@tmail.com and encourage her to conduct a meeting ASAP!!!
KEEP UP THE SPIRIT EVEN IF THE SUMMER IS ROLLING AROUND!!
There are many things you can do with CAD-- hosting a BBQ, hosting a July 4th get-together for all children and adults at some place and MANY MORE!


****

Kirsi, the secretary of the CAD chapter for Greater San Diego, opinion is inserted from here on and may not represent the entire chapter of Greater San Diego:
I think this is our final straw that broke the camel's hump. I am very sorry that I couldn't get the community to rise and get together to do something for SAN DIEGO. I am sorry if I didn't get out the word enough-- I felt I did my part best as I can-- I pushed and pushed.
Unfortunately, I am leaving in late July or early August, so somebody needs to step up and open up a line of communications with Kim Laule. Right now, we are stuck with her power of networking-- and she is not willing to share her networking among her friends who are in higher places in CAD. She is determined to become the president, regardless her inefficiency in a such position. You need to speak up. You, him, her, them, and everybody else! You kept complaining about how we operate our chapter-- well, DO SOMETHING!
Talk with us, talk with Kim, TALK WITH WHOMEVER IN THE CHAPTER.

If you are pointing out the problem, at least offer a solution to take action on!!!!!


Again, I implore you to contact Kim to show your concerns and support for the CAD chapter. We cannot relay on DCS for providing community events and recreations!!!
