3 PRESIDENTS OFFICE SPEAKS - Your chapter has been able to have great speakers at our luncheon meetings. If you did not attend the last luncheon meeting on January 21 st you missed a great presentation treat from our speaker, Karen Jensen, and her discussion on the Bolshevik revolution and her family s trials and tribulations in fleeing to the United States. Now on March 25 th you have the opportunity to hear Paula Garb, professor at University of California Irvine. Her thought provoking presentation will be My Journey toward Peacebuilding: Navigating Volga German, Russia-Jewish Heritage. Boy, what an effort to say the least. Let me take the liberty to share about Paula. After growing up in Colorado and California and completing high school in San Francisco, Paula married a Russian and lived in the Soviet Union with her family (two sons) for nearly 20 years in the 70s and 80s. On her mother s side, she is a descendant of the Burbach and Nolde families from Baltser and Norka in the Saratov region, and on her father s side, the Garb family, Jews from the neighboring Tambov region. At the University of California, Irvine, she is a lecturer and researcher in conflict resolution, reconciliation processes between citizens in several conflict zones of the former USSR, the Middle East, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, and Kosovo. This is a program you do not want to miss. Other yearly activities planned include the chapter s representation at the CDC meeting on February 25 th and the Summer picnic at Bob Freeman s beautiful home on the beach on July 8 th, another venue that is a must on your calendar. You don t have to swim; just come and have fun and eat. Thinking of fun and eating, don t forget the upcoming annual conventions of AHSGR and GRHS; places to visit, meet, and greet your friends and long lost relatives. Yes, that happens. We wish to thank all new and long-time chapter members and solicit your chapter interests and suggestions for future programs and activities. Again, we welcome our most recent new chapter members: Linda Finnerty, Tricia Tremper, Jeannine Stake, Helen Viviano, Marilyn Reed, and Stan & Marla Deines. If I did not mention your name, I apologize. In closing, because of you, we have a great chapter and you all are invited to all of our functions. See you at the March meeting.
