Speaker

Rich Radigonda, wildlife and military artist spoke on the USS Hornet

 

 

The aircraft carrier USS HORNET is a national treasure, having participated in two of the greatest events of the 20th century -- World War II and the Apollo 11 manned space mission.

Now peacefully moored at historic Alameda Point on San Francisco Bay, the USS HORNET is a timeless memorial to those who defended our American values and to those who have pursued America's technological advancements.

Whether its mission was projecting military might in times of war or supporting technological achievements in space exploration, the USS HORNET has continually maintained "A Heritage of Excellence."

The USS HORNET MUSEUM proudly enters the new millennium with the goal of educating and inspiring both young and old with respect to the challenges of the past and possibilities for the future. Join us in the preservation of this living monument…

Next week's speaker: Elizabeth Zitrini is the Ca. Death penalty Abolition co-ordinator.  Should be a lively presentation.

 

Greeter next week: Mike

 

Lunch

Chicken Fajita or Chicken Taco Salad and Cake
