Adopt-A-Highway
May 2008 Highway Cleanup Crew
On Saturday, May 31st, nineteen API members gathered for the semi-annual clean up of our stretch of Enos Lane between Stockdale and Rosedale Highways. They started the day with breakfast at the Golden Bull hosted by John Braun. Next they reviewed the CalTrans safety video and donned their PPE and headed off to do their part in API's community involvement. Because of the large turnout, the two miles of roadway was cleaned up in just an hour. Way to go! That is the way it is supposed to work. (more photos)

Letter from the Chair

It is a time of the year for your API Board Members to take a sigh of relief! (Albeit, it won’t be a long one as we have much more to do before the year is over) What an amazing group they are.

Black Gold Productions had a successful run again this year highlighting the many talents of those both in and out of our industry. This troupe certainly is to be commended on yet another great performance.

I personally want to thank all the members of the Golf Committee for their tireless effort to bring you a fantastic tournament. Although the accounting is not yet complete, it appears that we just may surpass the spectacular results of years past. Of course, the committee members were not the only ones who contributed to our grand success. On behalf of your API board members we THANK YOU, the community who provided food and refreshments on the course, donated prizes, gave monetary donations, and came out to the tournament in record numbers. API events are only as good as the support they receive from our industry, and we thank all of those who participated in our shared success.

Right on the heels of the tournament, many of us joined either Black Gold Productions/API or other teams as we walked in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. This team continues to set the bar for major success and reached yet another milestone. We express our deepest gratitude to all of the team members.

There is still more fun ahead fellow members. Don’t forget to come out and show your support on May 31, 2008 for the next Adopt-a-Highway cleanup. You can find all the details in the newsletter and I am sure our Adopt-a-Highway Chairman, John Braun, will bring a sign up sheet to the meeting. Hope to see all of you at the next general meeting May19, 2008.

Until then, kind regards.
