The Prez sez . . .
The Prez
started with a Question . . .
Who came
the furthest from their parked car?
One member (I didn't
catch the name) parked on the street and hiked in. Due to the
opening of the Pasadena Showcase House of Design at the Boddy
House, parking was at a premium and even the overflow parking
lot was full.
The Prez
introduced Paul Westmoreland who introduced the slate of
officers and directors for 2007/2008. The following slate was
unanimously approved!
Officers - 2007-2008
Diane DellaValle,
President
Carl Christensen, President Elect
Nick Berkuta, Vice President
Directors - Term
2007-2009
Clyde Hemphill
Linda Magarian
Fred Schooley

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Joel Smith is looking for a few good
women and men to help stuff envelopes for a Soap Box Derby
mailing. Wine will be served! Joel knows how to plan a
work party.
Diane DellaValle gave the SLA report
for Frosty who was unable to find a parking place in the
handicapped area. He called Diane on his cell phone to
give her the report data, as follows:
-
Patsy Christianson had surgery on
her hip, and is doing fine. She is still in the hospital.
-
Dick DeGrey would still like to
receive phone calls from members.
-
The Ragazzi's are doing fine.
-
Hal Thomas and Julia are
settling in and adjusting to their new living quarters.
Mary Gant reminded everyone about the
Tournament of Roses annual Bingo Barbeque on Saturday, May 5.
This is also the date of our next Travel Adventure. Choices are
endless!
 Jim Ackland announced the sale of ad's
for the Soap Box Derby program. Members can put in a
Business Card size ad, or larger. Get in touch with Bill
Watts if you are interested.
Bachy reminded all of us of the
importance of placing bills and coins in the Children's Hospital
cans on your table.
THE PROGRAM
Paul Kiehl, from the City of Glendale
gave a talk on "Passports and Fingerprints." His assistant,
Veronika Padeon, who Paul says pretty much runs the
Passport/Fingerprint office, joined Paul. The City of
Glendale set up the department to assist individuals with
passports and to generate revenue for the city. Paul
covered all of the aspects of applying for a passport, including
renewals. Great information.
