November Luncheon

On the menu will be pork marsala and chicken cordon blue.   Our social time with its free beverages, enables all to relax and socialize.  We will have raffles and a great speaker.  Mark Randol will remind us of the role the U.S. Merchant Marine played in WWII.  Bring a friend to learn the joy we spread.  Mark Randol retired from the U.S. government in May 2011 after 35 years of military and Federal civil service and moved with his wife Fran to Oakmont. He is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, earned a Master Degree in Government (National Security Studies) from Georgetown University, and completed all Ph.D course work and comprehensive exams in World Politics at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C.

In the past decade, he has taught college courses in domestic terrorism and counterintelligence; lectures on aviation security at the University of Southern California’s Viterbe School of Engineering; and teaches U.S. Coast Guard-certified maritime security courses. He also provides security consulting services for, among other clients, the Bank of Canada (Ottawa), the Phoenix Department of Aviation, United Airlines, the Palo Alto Jewish Community Center, and several independent schools.

Mark also gives TED talks to community groups on topics ranging from history, homeland security, intelligence, terrorism, cyber security, migration, immigration, and pandemic diseases.

A bottle of wine goes to you if you bring a guest who is a potential new member.  Men and women are encouraged to join us.  Check us out at this luncheon.  Deadline to reserve is 11/12/22.
