Monthly Archives: October 2021

This year’s medal was designed by our club Vice President, Suzy Trigonis. The design is of the Calvin C. Flint Center for Performing Arts at DeAnza College in Cupertino, CA, which is slated to be demolished. It was named after the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District Superintendent and first Chancellor. The Flint Center was the campus venue for Broadway shows, ballet performances, celebrity & author talks, orchestral concerts which opened in 1971 and held its last event, Palo Alto University graduation, on June 22, 2019. The Flint Center for the Performing Arts was the place where the young Apple co-founder Steve Jobs unveiled the first Macintosh computer in 1984. Singer Johnny Cash, actor Cary Grant, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and every U.S. president since Richard Nixon except George W. Bush and Donald Trump took to the stage over the decades.

We planned to have the October 2021 meeting be our first in-person meeting in 18 months, but regret that we had to make a last-minute change and hold this meeting online via Zoom. Key individuals were potentially exposed to Covid recently. To ensure our members’ health and safety, we felt it best to hold this meeting online and apologize for the late notice. Our Junior President, Aidan will be running the meeting and our Guest Speaker will be Emile, with an interactive presentation about Fascinating Facts about U.S. Coins – Part 2. Thank you for your understanding.
