ZOOM GATHERING
The KFSNAA first Zoom Gathering took place on Saturday, October 16th. It was quite a success with 39 attendees. Some folks had a few technical glitches which were quickly solved with the aid of Diane Salgado, '71 and Pat Rodrigues, '69. Our MC was Phyllis Moroney, '57A who did an excellent job. Our Board President, Deloras Jones, '63, as always, eloquently updated us about the Association's activities, the celebration of the success of our book, the potential for a nursing school as well as introducing Board Members who gave committee and activity updates. Our invited presenters comments were brief but pertinent and informative. Thanks go to Ann Williamson, Jim D'Alfonso, Steve Gilford, and Cuong H. Le
TWILIGHT TASTING
TheTwilight Wine Tasting was great fun with food, wine and excellent music. It was not as well attended as we had hoped for which the Giants vs Dodgers game may have contributed. Even so, those who attended enjoyed the outdoor evening and we plan on doing it again. (without baseball). The evening raised $705 to be added to our Scholarship Fund!

Steve Gilford…Lead Author our book
It is with a great deal of gratitude that KFSNAA honors Steve Gilford, Kaiser historian and exceptional story teller, for the fabulous work he did putting our story into word. Steve took the alumni responses from questionnaires and oral interviews, and along with archival research added his own vast knowledge of the history of Kaiser Permanente to author the first 5 chapters of our book. Thank You, Steve. You helped assure that KFSN will not be forgotten, ensuring our legacy lives on. See attached bio for more information about Steve.
