The Western District Executive Board would like to give recognition to the Local Arrangements Committee for hosting an outstanding Annual Meeting in Santa Barbara last June.  This was the first Annual Meeting hosted by the relatively new Central Coast Section.  The committee was headed by Tom Mericle, and included Vice-Chair Robert Sweeting, Jeff Hereford, Xudong Jia, Anitha Balan, Justin Link, Jim Biega, Dru van Hengel, Scott Schell, Steve Orosz, Rick Gallegos, and Christopher Flores. Excellent job!
