Day at the Races — THE TRADITION RACES ON
Forty-six CSA members and staff attended the races on Nov. 17 at Del Mar Racetrack, located in Del Mar, California. CSA’s sponsored Fourth Race, a picture in the winner’s circle for two, and a fabulous buffet lunch, all were included in the CSA Event Package.
Two from our group (Jason Rieman, President, and one of our event sponsors, Miranda Ridenhour from Grimco) watched the race from the “winners circle,” and then had their photo taken.
With the help of our five sponsors — a $1,300 sponsor (Signtech – San Diego) and four $500 sponsors (YESCO – Jurupa Valley, Grimco, Montroy, and Sullaway Engineering) — this CSA SoCal event was a huge success. THANK YOU!
We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect, the track was fast, guests began arriving at 11:00am, and the beverages and conversation started flowing. After the pledge of allegiance and acknowledgement of sponsors, lunch was served and first post was 12:30 p.m. Betting was active, and cheering for favorite horses was lively and loud, with networking and camaraderie shared by all.
Let’s do it again next year!
