Guest speaker, Jordan Cunningham, candidate for 35th District of the California State Assembly.
Come and hear Jordan make his case why he should be elected Assemblyman.

Also, we will be electing officers for 2016.

                   Jordan Cunningham             

The Central Coast is where I grew up, where I work to earn a living, and where my wife and I raise our four children.
Whenever we get together with our friends and neighbors, enjoy the natural beauty of our region, or volunteer in the community, we are reminded that there is no better place to call home.
My passion for our community coupled with my experience as a deputy district attorney and taxpayer advocate, have motivated my decision to run for the State Assembly.
I have prosecuted criminals in the courtroom, making our community a safer place to live. I have fought against higher taxes and unnecessary fees, protecting our hard-working families and taxpayers.
And now, with your support, I will fight for our region in the Assembly, providing commonsense leadership and a voice for each and every one of our residents.

Sincerely,
Jordan Cunningham

SAR Meeting Minutes   November 21, 2015

 

The meeting was called to order by President Haynes, who also introduce and welcomed our many guests..  Nathan gave the invocation,  followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and The SAR Pledge. 

 

Our guest speaker was Don Welsh, who presented interesting material about Mayan and Aztec cultures and architecture, as well as a discussion of the Florida Everglades.  Good stuff and he’s written a book.  

 

Later in the meeting,  John Bradbury discussed divining rod (not what he called them) and his trip to Tennessee. Also interesting.

 

Bill Siler brought a pie.  I missed that, but I’m sure it was a good one.

 

We inducted four new members including;  James Shea,  John Shahine, Elia Shahine, and Trevor Platt.  Welcome.

 

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved.  The Treasurer reported $2,5328.10, and requested that if you’ve not done so, pay your dues!

 

Attendance was a record twenty-two souls, which certainly livened up the meeting.

 

Meeting adjourned with the SAR closing pledge.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

David Tissue

Acting Secretary

This is the name for the SAR chapter in Athens, Tenn. The President
of the chapter and the man who gave me the platewas Bill Bigham.

memento.

Meeting minutes October 17, 2015

Called to order at 1:11 PM.. Attendance 9.  Invocation by Gary Cooper.

Dr. Jim Shea has an application pending and attended as a guest.

Our one true secretary, Chris is working thru some medical issues.  

Dues are due.  We have $2,193.49 in the bank.

Veterans will receive free meals at Applebees on Veterans Day, which is of course November 11.

Our program consisted of a discussion about who each of us wanted for Presidential candidates and who we thought would win.  If you'd like to know who we favored and predicted to win, come to the next meeting.  Our predictions are quite as good as any February Groundhog!

And, by the way, our discussions are enlightening and entertaining.  Another reason to get here one Saturday a month. 

Respectfully submitted,

David A.  Tissue,  Acting Secretary

Central Coast Chapter Minutes for June 20, 2015

                                          Central Coast Chapter Minutes for June 20, 2015

Meeting to Order: 1:11 PM

Attendance: 9 members

Pledges of Allegiance & SAR

Secretary’s Report: May minutes read. Motion to accept the minutes as read (Tissue), seconded (E. Rader). Motion carried. Treasurer’s Report unavailable.

Sunshine Report: Jerry Evans has passed away. Gary Cooper and Roger Koeninger were ill.

Motion to make September dark (no meeting) and to resume in October (Tissue), seconded (E. Reader). Motion carried.

Speaker: John Siler was again kind enough to step in and he chose to speak on the presidential election of 1968. In terms of the trust factor, JFK was the last president to have the trust of the majority of Americans.

In 1968, Lyndon Johnson pledged not to run and threw the Democratic nomination into chaos. Hubert Humphrey was the likely favorite but he couldn’t distance himself from LBJ and the Viet Nam war. Anti-war candidates like Eugene McCarthy  and Robert Kennedy emerged. Senator McCarthy won the Oregon primary but the momentum shifted to Kennedy who won in Nebraska and California. RFK was assassinated following his CA victory. George Wallace mounted the strongest 3^rd party candidacy since 1912.

In the end, GOP candidate Richard Nixon outdistanced Humphrey in a tight contest. Nixon carried CA, OH and IL, each by less than 3% and had Humphrey carried just one of them it might have enabled George Wallace’s electors to prevent a Nixon victory in the Electoral College. The rest is History.

Old Business: None

New Business: None
