East Room at La Palma - adding entrances/exits An ad hoc sub - committee of the PC has been formed regarding the Restaurant. Any and all topics will be on the table. Chris Mayou will be the chair of this group. The PC of 2023 - 2024 will be working with them. The PC also toured and inspected all Satellites in early March of 23. We made up our own inspection list and added items the General Manager (GM) asked us to look for. This task was completed and a list was given to the GM and the BoD. This task used to happen in past years on a yearly basis. Hopefully this process will continue and one Satellite a year can be identified for “ major ” improvements as necessary. It has been my pleasure to have served as chair of this committee. During the COVID years we didn ’ t have a lot on our plate but it feels like I ’ m going out with a bang. The chair of any committee is only successful if they have great committee members. My thanks to, Debbie Smith, Bob Livingston, Sheryl Nelson, Mike Schaefer, Raymond Sterbens Jr., Chris Mayou and Ralph Joiner. Respectfully, Mike Curley | Planning Committee Chair
