De Anza DAR welcomes guest speaker Richard Lederer, inducts two new members
Richard Lederer, Ph.D., recently entertained De Anza DAR Chapter with his witty talk “Fabulous Facts about our American Presidents” at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. Because attendees wanted to hear his humorous insight into usage of the English language, he modified his talk to also include gaffs and bloopers from student essays. After the event, Dr. Lederer signed his books for the buyers.
Chaplain Martha Gresham and Registrar Marti Meiners inducted two new members, Julie Sanderson, of Encinitas, and Vernel Albertson, of Carlsbad, who transferred from another area. The chapter now has nearly 110 members.
De Anza members reside in Cardiff, Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Leucadia, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and other nearby areas. The chapter meets in Rancho Santa Fe.
