President’s Message September/October 2016 Another year is coming to an end and this will be the last OC Section newsletter for 2016. I would like to thank the following members who have worked so hard to keep this section going. Marlyn Ortiz and Rosi Bauer for planning and hosting the section’s activities throughout 2016. This included the Las Vegas road trip and other events. Jocelyn Salsibury, our Vice President of programs, for organizing our dinners and brunches, handling the RSVP returns and collecting payments when required. Judy Caruso, the OC section Secretary, for keeping minutes for our business meetings and supporting the section activities. Shirley Hern, section Treasurer, for keeping the financial records and handling all our monetary transactions. Laura Dykstra, Newsletter Editor, for composing and arranging all the input and getting the newsletter sent out in a timely manner. Without Laura’s help there would be little or no communication going to our section members. Marcus Fitzhugh, LA section member who manages our web site and sends all our newsletter and flyer E-mails to section members. I would also like to thank all those members who so graciously opened their homes to host one of our board meetings. There are no events planed for November because of all the family activity associated with Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays. However, I will be looking forward to seeing everyone at our Christmas Brunch on December 4, 2016 (see details below). Remember you can always find the last newsletter on our web site at www.mboc.info.
Lynn Hern, President

CASUAL DINNER AT THE OLDE SHIP - Past Event The Olde Ship in Santa Ana provided the MBC club with a great place to socialize and have dinner. It was really relaxing to be able to have a quiet place to ourselves where we could all greet each other and talk without shouting. There was a great selection of English beers on tap and traditional English food on the menu, as well as other choices. We all enjoyed the cozy seating arrangements and the ability to order off the menu.

Oktoberfest—Past Event Thanks to Gerhard and Isolde Fehrmann we had a great turn out for this year’s Oktoberfest at the Phoenix Club. There was plenty of German beer on tap, a great selection of German food and lots of music. We nearly filled our reserved space for MBC cars which made a great display for all to admire. Those that were not able to come missed a great party.
