RESDC members are cordially invited to join us for a very special online event. We’re happy and proud to announce that we have Special Agent Aram Crandall, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), joining us for an exciting educational seminar.

SA Crandall will share a briefing on counterintelligence (CI) threats and operations in the FBI. This topic covers sub-topics such as traditional espionage, economic espionage, counterproliferation and insider threats. If we have time, Aram has even promised to share a case study from his work in San Diego.

This is your opportunity to hear real life stories directly from the FBI and pick up tips on how to enhance your own personal security and cyber-hygiene. Do not miss this event. RSVP is required. Register today at: www.resdc.net/events or call our office at 619-688-9229.

Program

“It was a great day. Learned a lot and enjoyed talking to the other riders.”  -Past RESDC participant

RESDC will once again offer a class and field trip for you to learn how to ride public transit and put that knowledge into practice on Thursday, March 20.  RESDC Board Member and former President John McTighe will be offering a class & field trip that will teach you how to access the MTS bus and trolley lines in San Diego.  The field trip will involve riding the bus and trolley from the New RESDC Office on Aero Drive to the Mission Valley Center Station.  Some walking will be involved, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

While in Mission Valley, you will have time to grab a bite to eat or just walk around Mission Valley Center before reboarding the trolley for a return to the RESDC Office.  Space is limited to the first ten people to sign up.  Please go the “Events” tab on the RESDC website (www.RESDC.net) to register for this training & field trip.  You will need to bring $2.50 in cash, and either a credit/debit card or $15.00 in cash to purchase your Pronto Card for riding the bus and trolley.  Also bring your smartphone to learn how to load and use the Pronto app on your phone for future use.

If interested in learning more about public transportation for seniors, you can go to the June 2023 edition of The NETWORK (https://www.resdc.net/newsletters/2023-june/#ride-well) to view an article on the County’s Ride Well to Age Well program.

If you are not able to make this class date but are still interested in participating, future opportunities will be offered.  Keep an eye on the NETWORK or watch for email updates from RESDC for the dates and times of future classes & field trips.
