Birthdays

Happy Birthday this upcoming week to Michael Prutz (8/22), Jim Warhol and Bruno Tse (8/23), Erik Lee (8/24) and Phil Aguilar (8/26).



Bagel Brunch was a buzz of activities  -- Pride Run

We had a lot of activities to celebrate this past Saturday.   First, we presented our beneficiary checks to the Gay-Straight Alliance and to Positive Being.   Here are the pics showing the presentation of checks.  Each group received $3,500 due to the tireless efforts of the committee in keeping the costs of the race so tight this year, without sacrificing any quality.




In addition, certificates of appreciation were given to Brennan Brockbank, Ryan Salma, Brent Sverdloff, Jimmy Santosa, Dominic Paris, Garrett Hayashida, Jon Borset, Bob Callori, Stephen Fitzpatrick, Dennis Nix, Christian Voitenleitner, and of course Brian Hill !!!

This past pride run was extremely well run.  "The Lipstick Conspiracy" band entertainment was phenomenal.   Great Job Everyone!

And here are your results!

The Nominating Committee shall report its nominations and other nominations by mail to the membership no later than 14 days prior to the Annual Meeting in the form of an absentee ballot. Additional nominations from the floor will be permitted at the Annual Meeting.

Cross-sports mixer during Happy Hour at the Eagle - one Friday in September

We are working out the details on the date but are planning on a Friday after work at the Eagle.   This is a social mixer with Tsunami's, SFFR, and SF Track and Field.  We had a lot of fun when we did this April.  The Eagle has a great back patio area, which we essentially get to ourselves, since "The Eagle" isn't known for being a happening "happy hour" place.  With the upcoming warm weather, it should prove to be great time.
