July 2026 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Hello North County Newcomers! I am thrilled to be your new Board President for the upcoming year! Having already met many of you as your Activities Chair, I look forward to getting to know more members in this new role. Four years ago, my husband, Bob, and I moved to Paso. Wondering how to fit in and make friends, we decided to check out a Paso Concert in the Park. As we sat in a sea of unfamiliar faces, a perky, outgoing woman approached us, asked if we were new, and invited us to join her group.
That "peppy lady" was Bambi Peters, the group was the North County Newcomers, and we’ve been active, grateful members ever since! A little about me: I recently retired from Panasonic Avionics as the Director of Program Management. I led an operations team delivering inflight entertainment and Wi-Fi to major European and Middle Eastern airlines like British Airways and Emirates. As an engineer, I love a good process and appreciate solid organization—so you’ll often hear me ask, “What steps do we take to make that happen?” I retired only a year ago, so my leisure activities are a little lacking :) During the past 20 years, my big extracurricular focus has been youth robotics. I manage regional events in Southern California for over 200 high school teams and 1,500 students, part of a global organization teaching core life skills through friendly competition. When I’m not "roboting," Bob and I love traveling internationally. I also enjoy touring the US National Parks on mother-daughter trips and visiting my son, his wife, and our two grandchildren in Coarsegold, CA. I can't wait to meet you all! Theresa Klemme 2026–27 President |
