New Year, New Plans

Happy New Year to everyone and I hope this year is better than the previous one. Let me begin by saying thank you to all for a great year last year. This year we will strive to make it better and have been preparing a list of events for 2026.

This year we will begin with our Installation Dinner alongside the Channel Islands chapter and LA/SGV chapter at Yolanda’s Mexican Café in Simi Valley. Our next event will be in March with How to Prepare Your Projects to Be Award Winners. For April we will have an OSHA rep to help guide us through the pitfalls of audits and inspections. June will be our biggest event with the Beautifications Awards Banquet. This is always our most attended event. July and August will feature networking/social events to meet other members and our sponsors. October will be our Sponsor Appreciation Meeting. Plan for a fun night. Lastly, our Holiday party in December will close out the year.

Be on the lookout for details on all our events and don’t forget to RSVP. As always, if you would like to join our chapter on a committee or to help with one of these events or another one you would like to chair, please reach out to us as we would be happy to have you with us.

Thank you! – Francisco Salazar, 2026 SFV Chapter President
