Brods,
The UPBSFI will have its first
board meeting in Grover Beach, CA on the weekend of Nov. 5-6, Sa-Su
to hang out and discuss/explore on the International's goals and
direction. Everyone is very much welcome to come in and join the
get-together and fellowship if you have the time or the opportunity
to be in the Golden State. Fyi, Grover Beach is along the
California Coast somewhere between SF and LA. Click below for links
giving a description of Grover Beach.

We have made a group
reservation of 16 rooms at Holiday Inn Express at 775 N. Oak Park,
Grover Beach. The group name is UP Beta Sigma Fraternity and the
hotel will hold the rooms till Oct. 10 only. Their toll free
number is 800-549-4448 and local is 805-481-4448. You will have to
call and reserve individually. The rates are $139 for a king bed
and $149 for 2 queen beds, but you may book also (maybe cheaper)
through their website
www.hiexpress.com.
You may want to check other hotels/motels in the area, especially
in nearby Pismo Beach or San Luis Obispo. We also plan to get
tee-times at a golf course for Sunday morning. Let's make this a
truly fun and enjoyable kickback event, after some meaningful
dialogue and exchange of ideas.
Drop
me a note if you're coming, thanks!
