The RCA was overjoyed with the response from the community. Our "Partners" included many outstanding businesses in the area. The first "Scholarship Golf Tournament" was held at Riverview Golf and Country Club on July 28th, 2014. $13,200 of that $15,000 was set aside for scholarships and as this second issue of the "Chalk Talk" is developing, the RCA Scholarship Committee, under the leadership of Bob Lowden, is in the process of selecting the scholarship recipients.

Chalk Talk – January 2015
The formation of the NORCAL RCA (Retired Coaches Association) began in the winter of 2013 with a small group of retired friends getting together for a weekly breakfast at an old eatery on East Side Road. The size of the gathering grew over time and discussions were held regarding what we could do as a group to benefit the community.

The size of the gathering grew over time and discussions were held regarding what we could do as a group to benefit the community.
We eventually organized ourselves into the RCA with over 30 members. We began to involve ourselves in various community events, i.e., Holiday bell ringing at the Redding Walmart, and helping some special kids at the 38th annual J.F. Shea Fishing Party.
Our main project, however, was to organize and hold a scholarship golf tournament on July 28th, at Riverview Golf and Country Club. With the help of our many business partners we were able to raise over $15,000.00 which will go into a scholarship fund, to assist deserving high school seniors who desire a post-secondary education
