New Members BBQ May 31st

At least twice a year we designate events as Newcomers' event. What this means is that we waive any fees for members who've joined Diablo since the last Newcomer event. The first of these events for 2009 will be a barbecue hosted by Nedra and Tom Marinshaw at their home in Danville.

The purpose of a Newcomer event is to:

• Encourage new members to come out and meet some established members.
• Explain what kinds of events and activities Diablo puts on.
• Learn from new members how we could better meet their needs and interests.

Any member who joined Diablo since the Oktoberfest event held on October 4th, 2008 attends free of charge! For other members there's a $15 fee per person. BBQ lunch and beverages will be provided, as well as a number of excellent prizes.

Last year's barbecue was a real blast, so I hope plenty of members - new and old - will put this one on their calendar!

Welcome to the Diablo PCA Blog

Greetings Diablo members!

We've been working on a new web site for some time that would include articles, blogs, event sign-up, and other features. Since that project is taking longer than expected and we still need to get the word from our volunteers to our members, we've created this blog to both meet our short term needs and try out this new (to us) means of communication.

And if you have an account with Blogger or GMail please feel free to login so you can leave comments -- we'd love to hear from you. We hope this will prove to be a productive experiment while we continue to bring more information and services to our members.

PCA National has been having hardware problems with the main pca.org web site and all the region sites they host, including ours. Once that's resolved, you can find Diablo's web site at the usual location: http://www.diablo-pca.org

Sincerely,
Steve Jones
President, Diablo PCA
