May 6th Meeting Summary The May meeting was our Awards Presentation. In attendance were the San Diego Section winners from the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair. Our guests included Grant Thiessen and his father Kirby Thiessen as well as Michael Threet with his parents Bob and Margie Threet and his teacher Dr. Lynne Shevinsky. The students presented their winning projects to the members present and received their Professional Society Awards for outstanding achievement. As this was the last meeting for the 2007-2008 schedule we had our End of Year raffle drawing. For those of you who do not know, I will explain. You have the opportunity to purchase one ticket at each meeting that you attend. These tickets are used in a drawing at the last meeting of the year (May) for a cash prize of $250. This year the lucky winner was our Chairwoman, Denise McKay. We also had plenty of regular raffle gifts to spread around thanks to contributions from our Vendors. Our next meeting will be held September 2, 2008 and I hope to see you there.
