We also just heard about a contest to modernize our clubs statewide. State Controller Steve Westly has announced a $5000 grant for the best idea for using technology to provide innovative solutions to issues facing all of us. We need some great ideas and we need them now—the submission deadline is April 5. The winner will be announced at the State Convention April 15-17 at the LA Convention Center.

Our own Lori Geittmann is running for State Chair of the Senior Caucus. If you are not a delegate but would like to attend, there are a few observer spaces. Stay tuned, and start brainstorming that winning idea.
