The Santa Clara Chapter of the CAFP invites its members to join for an evening event, "Read Between the Wines," where we will offer dinner, wine tasting, and an opportunity to vote on newly updated bylaws. Special guest and CAFP President Walt Mills will speak on what's on the horizon for Family Medicine as we enter 2020.
See the event flyer for more information.
Background: CAFP has asked many of its chapters to update their bylaws to be consistent within the organization. Our chapter's bylaws are over 40 years old and predate the specialty of Family Medicine! Proposed bylaws, consistent with CAFP requirements and tailored to our chapter's needs based on a working group of chapter members, can be downloaded here for your consideration. We will take a few minutes to vote on these bylaws at the event.
For questions and to RSVP, please email SantaClaraCAFP@gmail.com. Please RSVP by February 17, 2020.
We look forward to seeing you there!

FP-PAC Event with Asm. Jim Wood, DDS
FP-PAC Event with Asm. Jim Wood, DDS
February 28, 2020 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Santa Clara, CA, USA
Hello CAFP Leaders and Family Physicians,
On the evening of Friday, February 28, the Family Physician's Political Action Committee (FP-PAC) will hold a fundraiser for a very important political leader in California - Chair of the Assembly Health Committee, Jim Wood, DDS. The event will take place in the home of CAFP Immediate Past President Lisa Ward, MD.
Asm. Wood was elected in 2014 and serves the 2nd Assembly District, which comprises all of Del Norte, Trinity, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties, plus northern and coastal Sonoma County, including the northern half of Santa Rosa. He was elected to the Healdsburg City Council in 2006, serving two terms as mayor, during which time they passed a local ordinance prohibiting the sale of tobacco to anyone younger than 21.
In his first four years in the Assembly, he has passed legislation to protect and expand access to medical, dental and mental health care in rural areas, made progress in reducing the costs of prescription drugs and beginning the process of identifying how California can provide health care to all. Following the devastating wildfires of 2017, he worked to obtain $1 billion for much needed vegetation management to help prevent wild lands from fires, and passed legislation to protect consumers from price gouging following declared disasters.
Please download this flyer for more details and consider contributing to and attending this very important event. No event this year will be more important to family medicine advocacy. We'd love to have a large turnout of family physicians, residents and students to make a strong show of support.
If you cannot attend, please contribute. If you cannot contribute or attend, please pass this message along to another family physician who might.
Thank you!
