Last year's "Luau" theme at the Hilton Garden Inn was a total surprise to
RBBA members and absolutely fantastic.
Angelica Jiminez of the Hilton promises
us another surprise theme this year, so be
sure not to miss this year's reception at the
Hilton Garden Inn. This will be the Hilton's
third staight year opening their facility to
RBBA members and guests and we are
very appreciative. We will also have the
opportunity to meet and thank the new
Sales Manager, Jeff Block, and the Food
and Beverage Director, Scott Chambers.
Thanks go especially to the Hilton's
General Manager, Michael McConnell.

The Reception is from 5:30pm until
7:00pm on Tuesday, March 24th. RBBA members are free, guests are $10 each
and, of course, the first drink is always on the RBBA. Reservations are required so
call Mary at 858-451-
3406 or email her at: marys@rbbusinessassociation.com

February's luncheon with SCORE CFO, John
Bjeldanes
at Bernardo Heights Country Club
was a very informative discourse on dealing
with risk in uncertain times. Most all who
attended picked up a number of useful tips
to apply in their own business.

SCORE is available to all our members on an
individual basis. Simply go to their website in
the right-hand column for more information.

Thanks to Bernardo Heights Country Club's Catering Manager Kitty Sullivan and
her staff for another successful luncheon. Members and guests enjoyed perfectly
prepared crispy crusted Tilapia and Chicken Picatta and a dessert of chocolate
chip cheese cake.
