The Dean Club had two tables at the annual Santa Clara County Democratic Party JJ Dinner. State Senator Jim Beall and his wife, Pat, joined us at one table and State Assembly Member Kansen Chu and his wife, Daisy, sat at the other Dean Club table. The speaker, John Laird, Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency, was funny and informative. The issue of water came up. As did fracking.
The JJ Dinner was on April 25, 2015 at the Fairmont Hotel.
At the Dean Club Working Meeting on April 27, 2015, the Club voted on an important bylaws amendment. This amendment brought the Club into compliance with new requirements of the California Democratic Party regarding pre-endorsing conferences to be held in 2016.
The meeting was held at:
Marie Callender’s
751 East El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087

The wildflower walk was a great success. Attendees saw dozens of species, all cataloged by the guides, and experienced a pleasant day in our County Parks. The event raised more than $500 for the Club. As a bonus, the Club gained several new members. Now, that’s an event!
