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!
