Jim Layes volunteered to be the Gate Guard from 7am to 9am. Bob Estrella presented information on the new Federal Real ID Drivers License requirement and California s implementation of same. In a Nutshell, beginning October 1, 2020, the federal government will require your driver license to be REAL ID compliant if you wish to use it as identification to board a domestic flight or enter military bases and most federal facilities. The California DMV began offering a federal compliant REAL ID driver license or ID card as an option to customers on January 22, 2018. When you go in to the California DMV to renew your Driver s License, you must show them proof that you are a U.S. Citizen, show them your Social Security Card, and show them that you are a resident of California if you want to receive a Real ID Driver s License. If you don t show them those three items, you will receive a Non-Real ID Driver s License, the same version that they issue to Illegal Aliens. Go to the California DMV website at www.dmv.ca.gov for details. Show and Tell: There was no Show and Tell.
