Welcome to the California connection for June 17.
In Memoriam
From Jeff Thom
It is with deep sadness that I report the passing on June 8 of John Gaspar, longtime CCB member and fixture in the Yosemite-Gateway Chapter and Merced area.
John was an incredibly loyal and hardworking member in so many areas, including accessible voting.
Margaret Buchmann-Garcia has reported that he was struck by a car a few weeks ago, suffered a broken femur and died due to breathing issues shortly after surgery. John will be greatly missed.
From The President
Looking for an easy opportunity to raise money for CCB?
Incoming CCB president Judy Wilkinson and myself have created a team, the California Colossals, for the Brenda Dillon ACB Memorial Walk, to be held on Sunday, July 3, at the 2016 ACB Conference and Convention in Minneapolis. One-half of the funds raised for our team will be going to CCB.
If you are walking in that event, I urge you to join our team. If not, I hope that you will consider sponsoring Judy or myself. Remember, you can walk as a virtual walker, even if you are not at the convention.
You can register online at http://acb.donorpages.com/2016ACBWalk/
or by calling Nancy Becker in the Minneapolis office at (612) 332-3242.
Finally, you may sponsor me online at my page.
