Thanks to "Mr. Marketing" Rob Weinberg for his outstanding presentation
on producing inexpensive eNewsletters. Rob was enlightening and
lighthearted at the same time. Those in his audience
enjoyed a delicious luncheon of grilled steak skewers or
pecan crusted chicken at the beautiful Bernardo Heights
Country Club. All in all, it was a fulfilling afternoon of
food and marketing information. To visit the photo album

An Historic Moment: The Rancho Bernardo Historical Society broke ground
for their new building on the grounds of the Bernardo Winery, Saturday,
February 9th. Over 200 people attended and many members of the RBBA
were present in the crowd. There is still $66,000 to raise and we encourage
all of our members to either beome RB Historical Society members for as little
as $25 a year and/or donate to the construction of the building through a
number of opportunities such as commemorative engraved bricks.

Don't miss the society's next two fundraising events. Mark your calendars
for their pancake breakfast on Saturday, May 24th, and the Second Annual
Twilight Concert on the Green, Saturday, August 16th.
