Armand Gutierrez, President

Summer has officially arrived and we’re experiencing unusual weather. You may have noticed that there are warm-to-hot days followed by cold days. This is caused by alternating high and low pressure systems over the bay area, and is not typical for our summer pattern.

NSC Annual Membership Meeting and Luau Picnic, June 10th

Once again we had a great turnout for our annual membership meeting and luau picnic, and the weather was warm and sunny. And once again I didn’t win the Left-Center-Right game that Karen sponsored. Congratulations to Patt Dumlao for being the big winner. Thanks to everyone that showed up and had a great time.

Upcoming Events

Mt. View Obon Festival is on July 21st  and 22nd. This is an annual volunteer event that NSC participates in and is always a fun event. After all, there’s a variety of food, carnival-style games, cultural events, lots of people, and the famous Beer Booth.
