Bonsall Chamber of Commerce - June 2007 Newsletter

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Hello Everyone!
The Bonsall Chamber of Commerce May Sundowner was held at Today's Window Fashions in River Village. Hosts Mark Barone and Armand Gagnon were well stocked with great Italian style food and amazing window fashions. Our group was serenaded by fine guitar music while enjoying the food and meeting other members and guests. Susie Birchall, Sundowner Chairman, brought lovely red roses for all the mothers in the group, since Mother's Day was the following Sunday.
The golfers in the crowd were all gearing up for our annual tournament the next day with last minute silent auction items being added through the evening. It was noted that we kept our price down while all the other local tournaments were raising their fees charged for each golfer.
The golf tournament, the following day, was well attended and the volunteers were stunning in their visors and efficiency, managed by Mary Jane Poulter. The evening dinner was absolutely outstanding. San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club and Inn does such a nice job on their food and events.
We certainly thank all the folks who helped with both the golf tournament and the Sundowner. Our group certainly could not function without each of us volunteering to help.
A star stunning grand re-opening for UltraStar River Village Cinemas in Bonsall was a ribbon cutting to end all ribbon cuttings! Remodeled to perfection and promoted with all the frills is a beautiful theater in our community. This will be a favorite place for so many of us.

Tom Ewan and his wife Val are co-directors of Rawhide Ranch. The Ranch is tucked away along Lilac Road in Bonsall (near Sullivan Middle School). For over 40 years campers have experienced a bit of the old west as they learn to ride and experience all the pleasures of ranch life. Under the new ownership, the ranch has continued to provide a high quality equestrian learning experience for campers from across the U.S. and abroad. While many of the campers are from the Southern California area, the past years also welcomed campers from 21 states and 9 countries.
The program is an overnight program designed for children ages 7-15 and features western-style horseback riding instruction, animal and horse science classes, vaulting instruction (gymnastics on horseback). Week-long programs for individual campers are available during the summer, spring, and winter breaks. Mid-week and weekend programs (Sept. through May) are also available for schools/youth groups and their chaperones.
Chef Stuart G. Cumming has been the cook for Rawhide Ranch for over 18 years. His culinary talents began in his home town of Edinburgh, Scotland. He served part of his apprenticeship in the famed Maxim's of Paris. He owned and operated the Oldstone Inn in New York. He cooked for a TV program for 7 years. And now, making his home at Rawhide Ranch, what a pleasure to savor his meals!
Rawhide Ranch is very proud to be national accredited by ACA (American Camp Assoc.) and CHA (Certified Horsemanship Assoc.)

HONORARY MAYOR OF BONSALL

Hello All,

With summer just about here, and graduations and weddings in the air, most of us are pretty busy right now! Our Value Coupon Booklet is in the printing stages and should soon be available! We are all excited about it!
The UltraStar River Village Cinema had a VIP grand re-opening the day before it was to be opened for the public. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and presenting them with a framed certificate of appreciation. It was a beautiful ribbon cutting event with food catered by Rio Rico Restaurant, music by the Fallbrook High School orchestra and we were privileged to enjoy a movie which included pop corn and a drink.
On May 11th, I had a wonderful time assisting at the Bonsall Chamber Annual Golf Tournament. I helped sell raffle tickets, which gave me an opportunity to meet more people from the community. That evening, there was a lovely buffet dinner. The food was excellent, and the raffle and silent auction was a lot of fun, with many wonderful prizes for so many!
We are in the early stages of planning the Bonsall Country Festival for October 20th, and we are on the hunt for vendors! So if anyone is interested in having a space, please contact me! Last year was a great success, even though we had several bouts of rain throughout the day. With many ideas and experienced volunteers, we anticipate this year will be even better!
