Central Coast Chapter Active Again
After a period of Chapter hibernation we are revamping the AEG CA Central Coast Chapter. I have been able to secure the necessary support of Chapter volunteers to get our Chapter to be active once again.
Our first meeting will be on the last Wednesday of March. We plan on holding Chapter meeting every last Wednesday of the month thereafter. Our meetings will be held in Santa Maria (central location between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo) with the exact location yet to be finalized. We will have our third annual Student Night meeting in April 2010 with an opportunity for a student to receive up to $500 for the "best speaker of the night" as voted by meeting attendees.
Our new Chapter Secretary, Natalie Williams, will be sending the monthly Chapter newsletter out to AEG members in our region. We are planning on having the first newsletter out in early March, announcing the monthly meeting.
Thank you for your help. We are looking forward to getting the Chapter running again and working with the Section officers.
Best of regards,
Robert J. Urban
