What a Day for a Race!
Forty-six CSA members and staff attended the races on Nov. 22 at Del Mar Racetrack, located in Del Mar, California. Entrance fee, a program, the CSA-sponsored First Race, a picture in the winner’s circle for two, and a fabulous buffet lunch for all, were included in the CSA Event Package.
Originally scheduled for Thursday Nov. 21, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club officials announced suspension out of caution for the horses’ safety as the forecasted rain would likely make the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ dirt and grass tracks unsuitable for racing. This would be the first closure of the track in their 88 year history! Fortunately, 95% of the scheduled attendees were able to attend on Friday Nov 22nd; from downpours Thursday to Blue Skies Friday – made for a beautiful day. Beverages and conversation started flowing at 11 a.m., lunch was served at 11:30, first post was 12:30 p.m., betting was active, and cheering for favorite horses was lively and loud.
A Big THANK YOU to our four Event Sponsors; Federal Heath ($1,000) and SDS Automation, Grimco, Glantz ($500 each) — this CSA SoCal event was a huge success.
“Let’s do it again next year!”
CSA 2020 Vision Statement
A Focus on the Future While Building on the Past
"As President of the California Sign Association, I declare that this year’s theme is '2020 Vision.'”
---Message from Rob Riley, CSA President
Yes, I am playing off the year 2020 as we will never see that year again.
When I think of Theme, I think of a theme for the whole year that I am your President, not just for the Convention or part of the year or for special CSA functions. That is also what I would like to see moving forward for one of the largest and most powerful State associations in the nation.
Growing up and getting your eyes checked, 2020 vision was always the best vision a person could have. It represents superior vision. That is what I see moving forward in our association: A Great Vision, a vision that will move the whole Industry forward, not just in California, but every state in the Nation. That takes a Big Vision and it is what I have been seeing moving up the ranks and becoming your president. Continue Reading
