Sponsor Jeff Lowenstein did the honors of presenting Dennis Murphy with his Red Badge as he rejoins our Club.  Dennis is a realtor with Sotheby's and lives in San Mateo with his wife, Melissa, and their two daughters, Addison and Kellyn.  He shared the perils of having a new driver in the family - Addison has had 3 fender-benders since winning her license!   Dennis grew up in Glendale, 9 miles from Dodger Stadium.  This news was met by assorted groans and catcalls from the audience, but President Rod saved the day by observing, "Dodger Stadium is a magnificent place to watch a baseball game."  Be sure to introduce yourself to Dennis at an upcoming lunch meeting.

If it's April, it's time to make your annual donation to the Scholarship Club!  Our goal? $60,000!!!  So far we've secured $14,089.76 from 31 donations which means we need to raise an additional $45,910.24. 100 of you still need to make a contribution!   Did you know over the past 25 years we've supported more than 1,750 students make their college dreams a reality?  A reminder the suggested donation is $500, but any amount will be welcome.  We'd love to achieve 100% participation.  Please do your part!  Go to the link below to make your contribution.  Thank you!
