Happy Monday, 

This is your "Beginning of the week reminder" to book your room reservations for our Annual 
PDS coming up in October.  Check out our CenCal website for the reservation link for the 
hotel.  The deadline is midnight, Sept. 7th.  Book your room, even if your plans are tentative.  
You can always cancel, but it would help for planning purposes for both the hotel and our 
event planning.   

Just a quick update.  The Gates Millennium Scholars Program just confirmed that they would 
like to host a workshop at our PDS under the umbrella of the Hispanic Youth Scholarship 
Fund and the African-American  Scholarship Fund Programs.  They have some information 
they would like to share with us regarding their Male Initiative program as well.  

Continue to spread the word, and proposals are still being accepted for all program types 
(Pre-College, College, and Graduate).   I have attached the presenter letter and Call for 
papers.
