The Board of Directors unanimously voted to accept Mel Keyes as our newest Exchangite. Mel is a longtime resident of San Jose and currently does business as a commercial real estate broker/investor. Many of you will remember Mel speaking at one of our prior luncheons regarding some of his experiences. Mel is a welcome asset to the Exchange Club of San Jose.
On March 16th, the Exchange Club of San Jose will honor Patrick McMahon for proudly and correctly displaying the American Flag at his business in downtown San Jose. All members should come and bring at least one guest. Mr. McMahon and his office will be joining us for lunch and we want to ensure many people attend to give Mr. McMahon the recognition he deserves.
It is the responsibility of the One-A-Month Sponsors to bring in a new member this month.
Upcoming One-A-Month Sponsors:
April - Lynda Brown / Jose Posades
May - Rob Nuddleman / Phil Griego
June - Jerry Hall / Dave Mowbray
Match Game Anyone?
Any one familiar with the popular Match Game on TV will want to do this. The City Lights Theatre is hosting a fundraising event that will be lots of fun. Buffet meal, wine and beer, silent auction, a chance at prizes and competition in a Match Game and DANCING AFTERWARDS TO PHIL'S BAND "OFF THE RECORD."
We need teams of 6 at $300 a team. Phil is willing to sponsor a team for up to $150 if you all will pony up the remaining $25. That's $25 for a fun game filled competition, dinner, drinks and dancing and entertainment. You can't beat that with a stick.
The event will take place on April 25, 2004, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at City Lights Theater on South Second Street.
Who will join Phil's team? Contact Phil at pgriego@mindspring.com
Exchange Club Social tentatively planned for May 23 at New Almaden Valley Quicksilver Mines Park. A van excursion throughout the wonderful hiking trails, see old ruins, ghost town, old school house, abandoned mines, and enjoy a picnic lunch.
Cost $5.00 plus what you bring to eat and drink. Lots of picnic area. Exact time to be announced.
The meeting speaker May 18 will be from the Park and will tell us all about what we're going to see. Call Lynda Brown for more details.
Join Exchange Today (J.E.T.) runs between February 1, 2004 and April 30, 2004. The new member and the new member's sponsor could win a gift certificate worth up to $100 off your next airline ticket. Just have your new member fill out a membership application and ask your Club Secretary to place a "J.E.T." sticker on the application before he sends it in. You'll be "leavin' on a jet plane," in no time. Ask Membership Chair, Phil Griego, for more details.
Postcards for the Cioppino Night have already been sent out to other Exchange clubs and guests. If you have specific persons or groups you want to receive the "advance" postcard, e-mail the names and addresses to Rob. Flyers and the official invitations will go out in the beginning of April.
