This Year's Reunion
|
CARE Annual
Reunion Each January, CARE sponsors a reunion that is the highlight of our social calendar, with good food, entertainment, and most important, an opportunity to connect with the friends and colleagues you worked with for so many years. Seeing them once again is a reminder of why you loved your job! 2009 Reunion
Saturday, January 24, 2009, 11:00AM Our 2009 Annual Reunion is sure to be a memorable event. Besides the traditional lunch provided by the club, we are arranging a wonderful program featuring music of the Chabot College Jazz Combo College. As always, there will also be plenty of time for visiting with old friends and colleagues. After meeting and socializing with one other, we will welcome new retirees from the class of 2008. We especially encourage you new retirees to join us. The CARE Board will hold a brief annual business meeting for reports and the election of officers for 2009. Following that, at approximately noon, we will enjoy the great meal that San Ramon Country Club traditionally serves, together with a program of music and prizes. We look forward to seeing you! We need to let the country club know how many folks will be attending, so please: Print the Reservation
Form and send it with your your check for $20 (per
person) Sharon Trethan, CARE Treasurer

After a short business meeting, members approved CARE Board appointments for the upcoming year. Helen Bridge will continue as CARE President, providing outstanding leadership for our organization.
Entertainment was provided by an excellent student jazz band from Las Positas College. The luncheon buffet, as usual, was bountiful and delicious.
2007 Reunion On January 20th, 2007, about 80 CARE members gathered at the San Ramon Golf Club for our annual reunion lunch. As in years past, the event was a tremendous success.

The 2009 Reunion
will be held: 
On January
19th, 2008, about 80 CARE members
gathered at the San Ramon Golf Club for our annual reunion lunch. As
in years past, the event was a tremendous success. 
Joel
Kinnamon, CLPCCD District Chancellor spoke briefly, offering words
of praise for CARE. Larry Schaffer, General Manager and CEO of
the Chabot Federal Credit Union generously provided a number of door
prizes that delighted the winners.
Following a
brief business meeting, members approved CARE Board
appointments for the upcoming year. We are fortunate to have all of
our outstanding board willing to serve another term, with the only
change being our newsletter editor. After several years of service,
JoAnne Neu felt it was time for a change, and our own Heidi Spearer
has agreed to begin with this newsletter as our editor. JoAnne will
stay on as vice president. We'll be in good hands!
Feedback
from members who attended the luncheon suggested that everyone
enjoyed the afternoon, and particularly the opportunity to visit
with old friends and colleagues. The luncheon buffet, as usual, was
bounteous and delicious. Entertainment was provided by Myrna Bowman,
whose singing and on-stage banter impressed everyone, and by two
first-year forensics students from Chabot College doing brief
readings. We were also fortunate to see some beautiful paintings by
Gene Houck's wife, Mary Ann. This event continues to be the
highlight of the year.
