The new base commander at Joint Forces Training Base will speak to the Los Al Chamber on March 1, they announced this week.
In addition, they announced that the event will be held at the new Epson America Building on Katella Ave. between the Los Alamitos Civic Center and the 605 Freeway.
“Join us for a special Chamber Breakfast as we hear Lieutenant Colonel Dan Fox, the Commander at Joint Forces Training Base, tell us about his plans/goals as Base Commander for JFTB, updates on the Base, and other interesting information,” the Chamber said.
Thus far, Fox has moved quickly to restore events such as “Race on the Base” that has been banned from the base in recent years.
In a meeting with regional military officials shortly after his arrival, Fox said he was sent to the base with a directive to ramp up civic engagement with local governments and civic groups.
“As this Breakfast is at Epson we will need your RSVP and email to send to Epson ASAP,” said Toni Hauger, the chamber official organizing the event.
She said the public is invited. Please pre-pay online at www.losalchamber.org. The price, which includes a full breakfast, is $35 for the public and $30 for members of the military and Chamber members.
“After the breakfast, if you have any questions on Epson printers and supplies, Donna Wolf can help you with anything you would like to know more about,” she said.
Epson America has been making news on a regular basis since moving to Los Al from Long Beach during the pandemic. The extensive renovations have turned the two building complex into a world class office campus for the city’s most notable high tech company.
