Annual May Banquet…with a speaker!

The Annual May Banquet is set. It will be on our usual meeting date of May 9 but will start at 6 p.m. The board voted to contribute $5 toward our members’ cost of the dinner, so the price will be only $15 for members. Be sure to bring your spouse, significant other, guest, someone you know who will enjoy the evening.

Antoinette May will be our speaker that evening. She is a local author and journalist and has a few published novels.

We will have another silent auction this year to raise additional money for our scholarship fund. Many fun and interesting items have been donated. Once again our goal is to have $1000 available for a local student.

Remember, festivities begin an hour earlier than our normal meeting time since the restaurant closes at 9. We really hope everyone will be able to be there.

Here is the address:

Cattle Rustlers Steakhouse
7040 Sunrise Blvd
Citrus Heights, CA 95610

Remember, 6 p.m.

This year our annual May banquet will have a special speaker.
