V heers to Our New Members
On Thursday, November 21 the Bridges Club hosted a Welcome Reception
for our newest Members of the Club. Over fifty Members attended this event
to welcome and introduce new Members to our Bridges family. Sommeliere,
Mark Valin, served several exceptional wine selections to celebrate the occasion
while Chef Chris prepared a delicious assortment of heavy hors d’oeuvres. It was
a special evening, and it reinforced what an incredible Membership we have at
The Bridges Club.
Since our 24 Campaign launched last year we have been very pleased with the
Sean McCune i General Manager
number of new Members that have joined The Bridges and with the number of
Members that have upgraded from National to Golf Members. It is quite exciting
to realize that we have almost reached our goal of selling the final 24 Golf
Memberships with only four remaining.
If you were not able to attend the reception, please “Say Hello,” the next time
you see a new Member and give them a warm welcome to the Club.
Thank you for your extraordinary ongoing support.

back nine Chase found himself winning the championship and hoisting the barrel which
the champion keeps for the year. It was great golf from all of our juniors this year as this
group continues to grow at the club. In the junior flight we had Schuyler Voss shoot a 32

The field is divided into two separate flights where flight champions as well

Cold-pressing, as opposed to centrifugal juicing, which can draw in air and
produce friction heat and static electricity, prevents oxidation. Pressing also
yields a higher amount of juice and results in a cleaner crisper taste. After
pressing, Suja’s cold-pressed juice is HPP’d. This stands for High Hydrostatic
Pressure, which is done instead of flash pasteurization. The juice is placed in
an ice bath and pressure is applied to all sides of the bottles to kill

Susan Taylor asks,“Do Pigs Fly?”
On Tuesday, January 28, 2014 The Bridges
Club warmly welcomes Susan Taylor for a
funny and poignant talk about her transition
from the television news business where she
spent the last 30 years of her life..to
becoming the executive director of external
affairs for Scripps Health.
She will also address the state of healthcare
today which is going through its biggest shift
in more than 100 years. Technology is
leading the change that will drive down the
cost...which is GREAT for the patient!
San Diego is also a hotbed for genomics
which is going to change the face of medicine from ‘one-size-fits-all’ to ‘individualized’.
Also, Scripps recent $3.75 million partnership
with Qualcomm to explore the marriage of
wireless technology and healthcare makes
this region ‘ground zero’ for this tectonic shift
in the way healthcare will be delivered.
She will also address changes to healthcare
as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
We hope you can join us for this interesting,
complimentary event!
