ANNOUNCEMENTS
1 - Paul Westmoreland
reported we have had 15 interclubs, including two this
month.
2 - Harriet Hammons is
planning a Dine Out evening on June 10, so mark your
calendars now. Dinner tentatively at Damons and then
Pajama Game at the Center Theater.
3 - Ed Moulton is looking
for help with the newspaper cans on Wednesdays.
Volunteers are needed at 11:45 a.m. (or earlier) to move
the newspaper cans out to the curb, and volunteers (with
muscle) are needed to move the filled newspaper barrels
back after the lunch meeting.

and Gourmet Food event in September. Joel Smith
has already offered a weekend at his mountain cabin,
Tom Gilfoy has garnered two family memberships to
Descanso, and Linda Magarian also has obtained
an auction item (sorry, Linda – I couldn’t hear what it
was).
5 - Joel Smith asked
everyone to be ready to “answer the call” from a Soap
Box Derby chairman and be willing to volunteer.
6 - Bob Wallace reminded
the editor that next Wednesday, April 27 is

HAPPY & SAD BUCKS
Hal Crockett … Happy
because there was another newspaper article about our
support of the Children of the Andes.
Harriet Hammons … Happy for
her most relaxing vacation in Hawaii.
Mary Gant … Happy for
something connected with the LCF Chamber and the Chamber
Ambassadors.
Patsy Christianson … Happy
for her improved health and all the hugs.
Ken Lowe … Happy he not
only survived last weekend’s Key Club Convention but
also still has his hearing (the 3800 kids were very
noisy). Our LCHS Key Club was represented by 16 members
and 3 sponsors. The Division 3 Lt. Governor is from our
own LCHS Key Club and was very impressive.
