New-Member
Dinner Held at Red Lion Hanalei

The STC-San Diego New-Member Dinner was held at the Red Lion Hanalei Hotel in Mission Valley on October 14.
Festivities began at the welcoming and signup table. After finding the proper name tag, each person was checked on the guest list, and then they slowly migrated toward the eating area. For about half an hour, people introduced themselves to each other, mingled, and waited for the meal to begin.
The Red Lion Hanalei Hotel swimming pool, palm trees, and flowers provided a breathtaking backdrop for the beautifully garnished buffet table. Participants chose their seats among several white-clothed tables, brought their plates to the buffet table, and chose from several types of garlic bread, antipasti, pastas, different sauces, and chocolate fudge brownies.
The meal was an opportunity for networking, fun, and fellowship with other writers.
After the meal, Sue Heim, vice president of Membership, introduced each council member. Council members, in turn, gave a brief talk about their responsibilities and needs for volunteers.
There was a brief question-and-answer session, and the evening concluded with the usual raffle drawing and warm goodnight by chapter President Walter Hanig.
Below are some of the pictures taken by Kitt Medrano who captured some great moments as we all shared a great evening.
