We are happy to announce that Josh Epstein has been elected as South District vice president to serve the remainder of Alan Bauer's term. Josh was currently serving on the board as the South District membership chair.
We would like to thank Alan for his year's of service to the board, and wish him well on his move out of state.
There are currently six bylaw change proposals for 2020, which will be voted on by the delegates at the Cal4Wheel Convention in February. Here is a summary:
We have recently learned from the family that long-time Cal4Wheel and Tierra Del Sol member Denny Londo has passed away. He requested no services.
Denny was heavily involved in Cal4Wheel and his club, volunteering his time and proudly presenting his club's annual donation to the association at our annual conventions. He will be missed. We offer our condolences to the family.
It is with great sadness that we announce that Steve Morris, the inaugural president of Cal4Wheel, passed away recently at his beloved Rubicon Springs.
Steve was the association president from 1959 to 1961 and was instrumental in the formation of the association.He was actively involved from its first day until the present, including volunteering every week at the office.
We have learned that several of our fellow association members and their families have been deeply affected by California’s recent wildfires, including some who escaped with nothing other than the clothes they were wearing.
Our passion is to help those in need, especially members of the Cal4Wheel family. We have established a new fund through our non-profit Cal4Wheel Foundation to collect cash donations that will be distributed directly to Cal4Wheel member families who have been affected by the fires. These donations are tax-deductible and will be given directly to the members based on need and funds available.

The Hi-Landers 4WD Club wrote to say thanks for a grant from the C4WDA Conservation and Education Foundation. The funds were used to purchase meals at two chainsaw classes that they conducted in April.
