PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

At the SBMC officer's meeting this week, we came to the realization that we are not in a position to reopen as of yet. There is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding us. We were going to try to host a board meeting next week but decided to hold off  and wait to get a clearer picture of our meeting status.  
We are checking with San Jose CC to see what their plans are. We will wait for a  clearer picture of the mayor's position  and the city's plan for reopening. Once we have that information,  we will proceed with   our  future plans.  An  email will be sent  to the membership at that time. Be safe and please consider networking in the chats provided in your email.

In the spirit of our club,

Walter Smith
2020 President
GOLF OUTING

ANNUAL YAP BBQ
The YAP BBQ Dinner 2020 at Pine Forest Elementary School will be postponed.

We are examining options and will send word when a rescheduled date can be made based on schools reopening. 

This is a precautionary action due to the coronavirus.
The club will provide updates as they become available.
