Happy New Year 2012!

We are not having a meeting at the El Segundo Library this month due to our Annual Dinner Meeting.  We hope to have a good turnout of only our members and their guests at the banquet. However, we will be back on our regular schedule of meetings at the library in February.

Therefore, our meeting times are back to being 6:30PM to 8:45PM starting Nov. 10th!

  August is the eighth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and one of seven months with a length of 31 days. This month was originally named Sextilis in Latin, because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, when March was the first month of the year. About 700 BC it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created the Julian calendar in 45 BC giving it its modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC it was renamed in honor of Augustus, who did not take a day from February. According to a Senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, he chose this month because it was the time of several of his great triumphs, including the conquest of Egypt.

  In the Southern Hemisphere, August is the seasonal equivalent of February in the Northern Hemisphere.
