John Grisante was told as a kid not to gamble, but ohhh no...he just had to open his yapper, and lost a bet. He's now running around with the tips of his hair frosted! Jim Peterson sure wishes he had enough hair to make this kinda bet! $20
Frank Ortiz, attempting to spruce up his rather demure announcement, is asking SMBR members to re-double their efforts for some Live Auction items for the upcoming Luau Barn Party! $25
Kevin Walthers and several AHC representatives returned from a Community College confabulation in Washington D.C. to receive recognition for the Promise Program and the many graduations of Latino students! $200
Laurie Tamura failed to attend a reverse drawing event...and won...again! This makes 3 times such a strategy has paid off. $100
Shannon Seifert once again bragged about the tremendous support the 'Y' receives from SMBR members. Several of our crew attended the step-down celebration for outgoing board president. $80
Prez Berto Rodriquez, in a "Staffelesc" way, expressed his appreciation for 1) the recently completed Boys & Girls Club auction, raising about $150,000! 2) He thanked past presidents James Thomas & Laurie Tamura for holding down the fort while he was vacationing in his family home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 3) And, oh yes, his son turned 21 and demonstrated his abilities to "chase the worm". $100
Mike Gibson is at it again! Lettin' his alligator mouth override his hummingbird arse. Will he ever learn? $30
Prez Berto slapped a fine on Kevin Walthers for failing to smile in the group photo of the dynamic D.C. trippers! $30

PROGRAM
Berto Lauren Brown Suzanne Levy Jim Small
SLO4Home is a broad grass roots coalition of religious organizations, veterans and active-duty military members, and community activists helping Afghan refugees establish new lives and livelihoods on the Central Coast.
This group began coordinating relocation assistance efforts late in 2022. Areas of focus include housing, job assistance, education, health, transportation, culture and hospitality.
It is expected more than 65,000 Afghans will be welcomed through the Afghan Placement and Assistance (APA) program, set up through the U.S. government. Many of the Afghans who will be resettled worked directly with the United States on its mission in Afghanistan, including across military, diplomatic, and development efforts, or are a family member of someone who did. Thousands more worked as journalists, human rights activists, or humanitarian workers and had careers that put them at risk, which makes them eligible for visas.
