Our San Diego meeting had a fair attendance but since we lacked a quorum for the general meeting, the election of officers was delayed until the January meeting in Monterey. Our upcoming meetings in Monterey, Santa Barbara, and San Jose/Santa Clara are all north of Los Angeles. Since most of our members live in northern California and since the price of gasoline is now more reasonable, we can hope for good attendance. With finances much in evidence in October, the Board of Directors raised the registration fee for Quarterly Meetings to $6 a person for anyone taking part in any of the activities of the meeting. This includes the hospitality room, the library, tours, and meals in addition to the Quarterly General Meeting itself. A new schedule for Life Membership fees was passed. The Board of Directors also passed the 2009 budget. The January meeting will not only have the election of new officers, but as is usual, their installation. We will also be discussing a proposed Bylaw change to lower the quorum for general meetings from 50 to 35. As outgoing President, may I say that it has been an honor to serve you. I look forward to continuing working with the Web site and the Traveling Genealogy Library and hope to see all of you at future meetings. Benita H. Gray Note: If you are descended from someone who was in the Spanish military during the American Revolution you probably qualify for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution.
