of Fallbrook, CA
Hi
I am Frank Messina, our Romeo group has been meeting for over two years now. I
started to have lunch with another three friends, then they brought other
neighbors and friends. Our first meetings were dominated by the fact that we are
nearly all "Farmers".
Actually we have Avocado trees on our properties, and attempt to raise and sell
them profitably. Not an easy
task. We meet on the first and third Thursday of each month. Eating at the Fallbrook
Golf Course Restaurant, called the "Hukilau." There are now 15
members on our notification list, which is done by E-mail. Our meetings now
rarely discuss avocados, and are as varied as can be. We do discuss our
vacations and offer information on ships, lodging, weather, etc. Although we
total 15 members, we usually are about 10-12 attendees, and during the summer
even as low as 6 members attend. We are all retired, of course. Before
retirement I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, my Offices were located in
Palo Alto, San Carlos, CA. I was a registered California Architect, Co-founded
the San Mateo County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and was a
Rotarian for nearly 50 years. I have seen the light of day for over 80 years.
Harry Davies, is our oldest and a former US Navy Officer and Captain of several
ships during WWII. We meet at the "Hukilau" and like it there, because
it's quiet, and reasonably priced. The club has no dues, we order and buy our
own food. I send out "Reminders," and lately I even get replies, Such
as "Sorry, Doctors Appointment," "Grandchild visiting" etc.
Our members include: Aero-Space Engineers, Pilots, a Former Marine Physician, Teachers,
Advertising Executive, Business Executives, Contractor, and an Architect.
If you are in the Fallbrook area and would like to join us contact Frank
by e-mail.
