FROM THE PREZ…
That you all for your support this past year. With your help, we completed all of our district tasks. We
shared ideas. Clubs completed their narratives and statistical reports. We celebrated our artistic talents
at the annual Art Festival. We had a chance to learn a little bit more about our Federation and pick up a
few leadership skills at the Mini LEADS Seminar. We had fun and covered our district budget by
participating in two fundraisers- “HOBO Games” and the “Stay at Home Tea”.
Next scheduled event for Palomar will be our Executive Board meeting on August 25 (Tuesday) for
Elected/Appointed District Officers and Club Presidents. San Dieguito is hosting the location and we’ll
be meeting in Encinitas.
I plan to take the summer off and spend some time in Texas with family. Look for our nexr Telescope Enews in September.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer!
Linda Bridges
