SDG&E Bringing you Smart Meters and Eventually a Smart Grid

WELL NOW, WE HAD 20 LIONS & GUESTS RISE IN SEMI MUSICAL CLAIM TO "THIS LAND IS MY LAND", AND I BELIEVE "THIS LAND" BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

AND WHAT A BBQ LUNCHEON WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS FOLLOWED.

NEXT CAME MANY HAPPY $$$ FROM VARIOUS LIONS.

BEING THE FIRST WEDNESDAY, WE CELEBRATED SEVERAL BIRTHDAYS, INCLUDING LIONS GIBBENS, SCHLOSS & MORTON.

A VERY INTERESTING & EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WAS PRESENTED BY PENNY NEWELL, COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER AND CORPORATE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS FOR SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC (QUITE A TITLE). PENNY HAS BEEN WITH SDG&E FOR 20 YEARS. SHE STATED THAT SDG&E IS THE FIRST UTILITY IN THE COUNTRY TO INSTALL "SMART METERS" THESE METERS ARE DESIGNED NOT ONLY TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT, IN DEVELOPING A FUTURE "SMART GRID".  SHE ALSO STATED THAT SDG&E IS THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY TO UTILIZE "HYBRID" OR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THEIR FLEET.

AS PART OF HER PRESENTATION, PENNY PRESENTED OUR OWN EXCEPTIONAL LION, CHUCK ROBBINS, WITH A $500 CHECK IN APPRECIATION OF HIS VOLUNTARY WORK IN OUR COMMUNITY.

REMINDER: TO KEEP YOU INFORMED - OUR STUDENT SPEAKER WON THE REGIONAL CONTEST AND WILL MOVE ON TO THE DISTRICT CONTEST, APRIL 16TH (COULD HE GO ALL THE WAY?) STAY TUNED...
