2ND VICE | STEF HOLDEN

As I enter into what is always my busiest time of year where I’m helping to plan and organize two city-wide events, I wanted to take a moment to thank my dedicated staff as they continue to make my job serving as your clubroom manager ever so easy. Ladies, I cannot begin to tell you how much you are appreciated as I do not say it often enough.

The before mentioned events are the Escondido Grape Day Festival / 5K run taking place in Grape Day Park on Saturday, September 9th. 5K registration is at 6am and the race begins at 8am and will run from Grape Day through Historic Old Escondido and finish back at Grape Day Park. The festival will take place from 10am-4pm. Come by and say hello to your fellow legionnaires as they will be manning a booth during the festivities!

The Fourth Annual Escondido Veterans Day Parade (VetFest) will take place up and down Grand Ave. on Saturday, November 11th. I will include more details in next months newsletter but rest assured the parade is already shaping up to be bigger and better than last year. See you all at the club 149!
