Bill Powers will address the Fallbrook Democratic Club at their next meeting. His topic will be the Sunrise Power Link, a $1.3 billion transmission power line project proposed by Sempra Energy to run from near Mexicali across the Anza-Borrego Desert to a termination in north San Diego County.

Additionally, the club will elect the new officers comprising the 2007 board.
