PROGRAM
Jim Phillips
introduced Dottie Sharkey a member of
Glendale Parks and Recreation Commission and also a
member of the newly formed ‘Parks and Open Space
Foundation.’ Dottie told us about the opening
gallery titled ‘Art from Ashes’ using articles
removed from the Deukmejian Park that was involved
in the Station Fire. 62 artists took these items
and used them to create art which has been sold to
raise money to support the refurbishing of the
Deukmejian area; this is located in La Crescenta up
New York Avenue. The Gallery is located in Glendale
across from the Americana at 261 S. Brand Boulevard
and is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 6
p.m. and a $5 donation per person is requested.
The Gallery had a grand opening and subsequent other
special showings and almost all of the art has sold.
The gallery is scheduled to close in 5 weeks but
will be taken over by the Museum of Neon Art who is
very happy to find a renovated art gallery. Dottie
ended her talk with a question and answer period.
FROSTY CHALLENGE:
Frosty told us one about a bumpy airplane
landing; that was followed by Jennifer Berger’s
knock-knock joke; then Daryal Gant told about
a Bingo game on an airplane. Prez-Elect Bill
Watts declared Daryal the winner (this
reporter’s table thinks Bill should check out
his hearing as we thought Frosty won by a
much louder response; but that is just one
reporter’s opinion.)
SLA REPORT: Dr. Frosty
reported that Dick De Grey is
‘pretty good; Hal Thomas is always in good
spirits as he watches the world go by his window;
Norm Johnson is in excellent spirits (and we all
look forward to his return to the club on
Wednesdays.) Robert Georgeon, husband of
Elizabeth, is home after spending 10 scary days
in hospital; Elizabeth says he is well on the
way to mending. Jim Smith is home from his 4
week hospital stay but needs to ‘take it easy’ for
another month or so. Jim & Wendy welcome you
to stop by their new residence at 2555 Piedmont
Avenue, on the corner of Rosemont or just to give
Jim a call to say, ‘hi.’
