Next Meeting

Monday, June 15, 2009 at 11:30AM to 1:30PM at The Pacific Club

Board Meeting at 10:30AM

Speaker: George Runner - California State Senator

Sponsored by: Jeffrey Oslick – NOREAS, Inc.

"All California Propositions except 1-F Severely Trounced! What does this mean for the future of California's Government and Programs?"

"Budget Battles and the fiscal prognosis for the State of California; where do we go from here?"

Join us as we host Senator George Runner (R-Antelope Valley), Senate Republican Caucus Chair and member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Finance and Insurance and Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation. Senator Runner will discuss:

The events leading up to the adoption of the 2009-10 fiscal budget for the State of California;

The methods used to try to close the shortfall in revenue due to the economic downturn,

The aftermath of the statewide budget "reform" propositions and the effects and results of their passage (or non-passage)

Overall look at the specific effects of budget cuts and reductions in programs.

The Senator will allot significant time at the conclusion of the program for questions and discussion; a great opportunity to find out personally what the effects of the budget crisis will have on business and quality of life in the State of California in the coming years.

We are hoping for another great turnout, and look forward to seeing you there!

New! Endowment Fund Update:
The Orange County chapter of Lambda Alpha has a goal of building a $100,000 endowment fund over the next five years to provide scholarships to graduate students studying in the direct, complementary and related fields of Land Based Economics – Lambda Alpha’s purpose for existence. This encompasses many areas of study. We feel that students are the future – not only of our organization, but the future of land and its related economics. BY supporting education, we support and continue the interest, growth, and care of one of our most precious resources – our land. We are looking for pledges and donations to build the fund that was started in December 2005. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated and will further our chapter’s and Internationals long-term goals.
