Program Update

The Orange County and San Diego Posts of the Society of American Military Engineers

(SAME) are pleased to announce the final details of our 5th Annual Camp Pendleton Day

event to be held on June 24, 2010. This premier event provides a great opportunity to

network with potential teaming partners and learn about upcoming A/E/C opportunities at

Camp Pendleton, MCIWEST and NAVFAC Southwest.

Current and planned projects at MCB Camp Pendleton, as well as other Marine Corps and

Navy installations in the region have had a tremendous impact on jobs and our local

economy. This Program will focus on these A/E/C opportunities at Camp Pendleton and

other installations, including updates on future renewable energy programs,

infrastructure to support the Joint Strike Fighter and Osprey platforms, and other

initiatives. Please see the attached Agenda for speakers, topics and program schedule.

Thanks to your support, we will be presenting donations to Operation Home Front and

the Armed Services YMCA during the lunch program.

Exhibit spaces and Corporate Sponsorships are SOLD OUT. We do have Lunch

Sponsorships available and have added a new category—The Silver Star Sponsor based

on an unsolicited request. If you are interested in learning more about these or

any other sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sharon Bison at (562)

426-9544.

Please register for this event as soon as possible! We have had a strong response and

expect to sell out again this year.

Attendee registration is available through the Orange County Post

website at: http://www.sameoc.org/calendar.html

Note: We will be e-mailing all registered attendees a security pass and

location map to facilitate entry onto the Base. You will also need to show

current driver’s license, registration and insurance to gain access to the Base.
