Dear Dale,
I am Helen M. Cain, Corresponding Secretary of the UAL SFO Bay Area Retirees. We are a long established chapter and have a direct connection with the national UAL retirees organization, RUAEA: Retired United Airlines Employees Association. We meet on the 4th Monday of each month, 11:30 a.m. at the William Walker Recreation Facility, 650 Shell Boulevard, Foster City, CA 94404. Our mailing address is: UAL SFO Bay Area Retirees, P. O. Box 4788, Foster City, CA 94404.
I have been receiving queries lately from UAL retirees as to whether or not our chapter has changed hours, meeting dates, entertainment, etc. The confusion may be due to several recent articles in your NewsReal columns regarding "UAL Luncheons" as promoted by California UAL retirees Dick Langland and Jerry Marsala. (Meeting at Harry's Hofbrau in the Bay Area. Dale T)
If you are able to print this email, I think that would eliminate most of the aforementioned confusion. Thank you very, very much, Dale.
Helen M. Cain

Socal RUPA Luau Lunch on June 3, 2008
Our second annual get together was once again greeted with an absolutely perfect and comfortable day in the mid 70's. The luau was held at Bob and Taywan McGowan's rancho in Villa Park, California. The background island music and tropical flowers set the happy aloha atmosphere.
Thanks again to our co-hosts Bob and Janice Fuhrmann who helped greatly with the setup right through to the clean up. Thanks to Bob Brockmeier for providing the tables, chairs and canopies. Som & Denny Fendelander with Shirley Hansen gave a welcome helping hand in the kitchen. Many other guests helped running food out and picking up empties.
78 guests began the festivities at noon by munching on Macadamia Nuts, Maui Onion Chips and dip, Crab/Shrimp cakes, Smoked Salmon, assorted japanese rice crackers and cheeses. These were accompanied by Mai Tai Punch, Hawaiian Beers, California Wines, Starbucks Iced Coffee and a wide assortment of sodas, Iced Teas and fruit drinks.
Then the Hawaiian buffet was presented by the Tulsa Rib Company in Orange. The main course consisted of Boneless Kaualua Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, Coconut Rice, Island Beans, Tropical Fruit, Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and Hilo Cole Slaw. The portions were abundant enough for many to take home doggie bags full of treats.
The deserts began with a surprise birthday cake for Jack Hansen's 91st celebration. Shirley designed it with a photo reproduction of a Waco Biplane. Woody Grover entertained us on the piano and then led the happy birthday singing. The huge cake was accompanied by home made coconut ice cream, Kona Coffee and a variety of exotic candies.
We had a very good showing of Fearless Retired United Pilots (FRUP) and their supportive flight crew members. The last guests left at 4:30 PM.
