Mens Club: February 2025

Election Results—The Niguel Shores Men’s Club is excited to announce its 2025 leadership team. Geoff Dunlevie will continue as President, with John Chis Sr. step- ping into the role of Vice President. Eric Eckes will serve as Treasurer, John Yocca as Secretary, and Art Staudenbaur as Director at Large. Congratulations gentlemen!
Meetings—Our January meetings featured two outstanding speakers. Ryan Krause, a financial adviser with Edward Jones in Mon- arch Bay Plaza, provided an insightful and understandable overview of cur- rent U.S. economic trends. Members appreciated his expertise and thoughtful answers to their questions. Later in the month, renewable energy consultant and San Clemente native Collin Crook shared strategies for improving residential energy efficiency.
Looking ahead, our February lineup includes dynamic presentations. On February 4, Todd Morehead will screen A TICKING BOMB, an episode from his docuseries HOPE IN THE HOLY LAND: THE SERIES, followed by a Q&A session. The speaker for the February 18 meeting will be announced soon.
Scholarship Program—The Men’s Club is proud to announce updates to our Scholarship Program, funded by the profits from our 4th of July Pancake Breakfast and donations from community residents. This year, we will award up to two $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors who reside in Niguel Shores. Applicants can attend any local high school and must have plans to attend a university, community college, or trade school. To apply, email John Yocca, Men’s Club Secretary, at john@johnyocca.com for an application. Completed applications are due by April 15.
