Co-President's
Message
October 2026
Fall is in the air and so is talk of our “wish
list”
for our beautiful Craftsman venue. I went
around the table recently and as
House Chair, Beth Collado is
angling for period chandeliers
and nice window curtains, Peggy
Tracy and I would like updated
kitchen appliances, Kate
Rubalcava would like more
motion sensitive outdoor
lighting, Michelle Cayton would
like locked trash bins and Sue Stone will gift
us a new defibrillator. Almost seems like this
should be a requirement these days. Thank
you, Sue! Structurally, we are quite sound, so
these are “finishing touches” that will make us
look even more attractive to you and potential
renters. More on that later when Carolyn Bick
launches her Annual Fund campaign! When
Tommy Gomes called to say that he could not
be our October program, a few of us
immediately thought of Evelyn Barandiaran
and the Portuguese Historical Center to
entertain us with stories of how the
Portuguese came to San Diego to fish for tuna
and start new lives in America. Evelyn is on
board and so are the ladies of the Portuguese
Market who will provide home baked sweets,
charcuterie and Portuguese wines. I can’t wait
for this event! They have not been with us for a
couple of years but in the past, it has always
been a sellout. Come early to get a good seat.
Our doors open at 4:30pm and this is a free
event. See you there and bring your appetite and
a friend!
