It all boiled down to sheer profit. Our
2006 Annual Luau raked in $42,000.00
cash on the barrelhead. Bulky Tee 50th
Anniveresery Shirts were way, way, above
expectations. Tee Shirt wearers found no
fault with the white rice laden in frothy
broth, chicken chow mein smothered with
thin gravy, stale roles, Rosarito Beach tepid
salad, lukewarm Italian dressing, and no
beverage. The obvious question is where
do the profits vanish. i can tell you for sure,
not the new "Doheny Park" style road.
Maybe they'll put in horse-shoe pits for
the weekday tribe, they can challenge
the Sal Geez bocci-ball families. YIKES!

What Chow Mein? All I got was soggy beansprouts doused in noodle soup.
The food was disappointing, but I thought the show was very good.
But for $100 a plate, I should have gotten a lap dance or two.
As for the money, I know from reading my official club newsletter that they lose money on every event, but they plan to have more events and make up the difference in the volume.
They are taking the money in and where does it go? It's an unanswered mystery. This is the only "non-profit" organization I have ever seen that doesn't publish its financial records with its newsletters. The BOD acts like a group of good old boys. Bad management, you bet. How much does the surf contest cost? How much does the Luau cost? How much do all these things cost? Ask any BOD member and you absolutely positively won’t get an answer then or overnight either. They are not Federal Express..
I hear next years dues will be $85 to cover the cost of another club annual full of pictures of people that haven’t surfed in 20 years, and those are the younger ones.
It should be the SAN ONOFRE SIT ON OUR ASSES CLUB.
Sam, thanks for keeping it real. Yes, Sam, surfing has changed. Anytime a prestigious position such as SOSC BOD becomes the highlight of your surfing career, well, somethings seriously wrong. Btw, how long did it take to realize
something was awry with that bunch? They have in excess of $135,000.00 sitting in their jumbo bank account. So the food was dissapointing, do you think a lowly Club member would complain, no way Tokay. Sam, you'll be back next year. Remember one thing: it's not how big the wave, but how large the circulation.
THose board meetings are an ego fest.
I plan on videotaping the next one.
WOW DID ANY ONE ELSE GET
SICK I WOKE UP ABOUT 4AM SUNDAY
AN BEEN ON SHITTER EVER SINCE
THAT STUFF WAS AWFUL @ $35.00
CAN I GET A REFUND.
OR PAY FOR MY DOCTOR BILL
chuck, at an event like Saturdays, ypu must chew your food.o
Member, you are more than welcome to tape the next Luau. Make sure You key on Sal Geez, TREASUROR.
I drove all the way from Riverside only to have my two year old frightened to tears by some drunk in a klown suit! I want my $75 admission fee refunded and reimbursment for the $150.00 in gasoline that it took my oversized SUV to get there.
If they would just put in that long needed toll road I could have spent only $18 more to get there!
Howdie Tex. I feel your pain, but there's nothing you can do. The SOSC is in this for profit. $75.00 admission fee, was that for the family or what? When your making $3,000,000.00 a picture, $150.00 gas is chump change. Anyways, there's an Amish family out Tyler ST. with whom you can car-pool during summer, all you have to do is chip in for gas. The motorhome is rickity, but it'll make it.
Incidentally, yours is the best letter so far.
