Hello to All,
On behalf of your Inland Empire IEEE Foothill Section we hope all are doing well, staying home, and staying healthy. Please take time to remind yourself as often as you can: You are saving lives by staying home and the world is grateful.
Due to the nCOVID-19 pandemic, the usually scheduled Executive Committee (ExCom) meetings will not be held at the California Baptist University (CBU) campus this month or in the following months. We are all staying at home and doing our part to try to “flatten the curve.”
Our scheduled ExCom for next Tuesday (April 14th) and all following ExCom meetings will be held online via WebEx until it is safe to resume our on meetings on the CBU campus.

If you need to go out, please use masks and gloves (if available). Make sure to maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet (2 meters) and washing your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds and use antibacterial gel if you can’t wash your hands.

We need to remember and give thanks to all the brave people that are on the front lines that are keeping open and operating our: hospitals, clinics, our take-out food, grocery stores, our trash collectors, mail delivery, etc. They place their lives on the lines so we can have these services.
The COVID-19 outbreak knows no boundaries – it will touch every life on earth in some way. Stay well and stay strong!
