Greetings CenCal Family,  

Hope that those of you  who trekked to Summer Jam this past week-end  are up and at em 
again.    A little sleep and some Red Bull never hurt anyone!

Just a little update our our upcoming PDS scheduled for October 8-10th. A location has been 
selected which is the Doubletree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country (www.dtsonoma.com).  A 
contract is forth coming and I am soliciting a motivated/energetic committee to facilitate  
with  the following:   

Workshop presenters
Registration/Gift ideas for registrants
Moderators
Entertainment
Hospitality
Key Note  Speaker solicitation
Awards

I would also appreciate theme ideas that relate to wine country.  

Interested individuals can email me directly to select their area of expertise no later than July 
8th as  time is ticking for us to put things together.  Several meeting dates will be set  up 
after this to touch basis as  coordination is being planned.  I plan on soliciting Sonoma State 
TRiO programs to assist us with referrals  for entertainment, gift ideas, presenters, etc, but 
will need a   "point person" to be over certain areas.  

The Doubletree participates in the Hilton Honors Program, so it would not hurt to register for  
membership @(www.hiltonhonors.com) prior to your making reservations in the near future.  
The hotel will be offering us a rate of $145.00 per night.  Their reservation link will be 
included within the CVENT reservation system once we get  it set up.  

 Please take time to go to the hotel website to do a virtual tour of the location.  The location 
was visited by myself a couple of weeks ago and I'm positive that our membership will enjoy 
the atmosphere and amenities that this property has to offer.  

Summer Jam Side note:

you still need to honor payment to the chapter.  Contact Carrie Lujan-Gonzalez for payment
