SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT:
Julia Domaradzska who received one of
our scholarships last year has just finished her first year at USC. It really went fast!! She’s studying
architecture, economics, Spanish, etc.
It was great having people (Kiwanians) who believe in her and really
help motivate her in her studies. She
thanked us all.

THANKS: We received thanks from Exceptional Kids PTO, RUHS Grad Night Committee and Mira Costa Band Boosters for our contributions. CINCO DE MAYO PARTY was a big success! Thanks to Terry for organizing and doing most of the work. Terry thanked helpers Deborah, Judi, Joanne, Linda, Carol, chef Paul and chef Fred and others. No fights, no cops, lots of fun and good food. We even had a great cake to celebrate Whit’s birthday. Terry brought and Paul barbecued and Fred sliced a side of beef for carne asada and everyone brought other great appetizers and desserts. HERMOSA FIESTA: Memorial Day Weekend (5/29-31), we will be parking cars again at Hermosa Valley School. Proceeds will all go to the school. Be sure to get on the sign-up list for one or more shifts. LOVE FROM LOVE: Pat took candy and a teddy bear to Ann Ullman who was recently in the hospital, although she’s home now, to let he know that we are all thinking about her. |

PROGRAM: The Sweethearts, comprised
of leader Bobbi Rogers, singer Judy Haase, and dancers Jan Murray, Pat
Ramsey, Jackie Coury, Patty Bree, Sue Hensel, Mary Combs, Sandra Lincoln,
Betty King, Joe Renzi and George Deveny were back to entertain us today. We had tap, we had tango, we had Sweet
Georgia Brown and New York, New York.
Great singing and dancing, great costumes, lots of smiles and fun. All the ladies are grandmothers, some are
even great grandmothers. They do this
for fun, exercise, camaraderie and good will in the community. They even tell good jokes. They use our hall to practice on Thursday
mornings and said that we were a great audience. The Sweethearts are proof that good friends, exercise, keeping
busy and having fun will keep you young.
Very impressive!!!
THE SWEETHEARTS (aptly named) |
HAPPY/SADS: Merle made a generous contribution to the Memorial Scholarship Fund in Harry’s memory and to celebrate his birthday (Merle used to make a contribution to pay Kiwanians not to sing for his birthday). Merle also happy he passed his driver’s test last week on the first try. Pat happy that Corinne has new wigs and a new bike. Dallas happy for the great Cinco de Mayo party – Thanks, Terry! Whit happy for the 5/5 party and his great birthday cake – Thanks Joanne and Linda! Greg happy he sold his motor home and it broke down 20 miles later – also happy Joni wants to join Kiwanis. Alicia sad re losing Harry, but happy friend Joe is here and having a great time – he’s a physicist retired from TRW. Joanne happy that Pat and Terry volunteered to do tablecloths next week while she’s in Las Vegas, and happy for Merle’s birthday and passing test. Howiee happy his wireless PDA works on Hermosa’s new free wi-fi system – the City actually delivered on its promise. Cathy happy re Rick K handling Builders Club next week while she and Dick are in Puerto Vallarta. Bruce happy Merle passed his test – but why did he wait 60 years or so to take it?? Dano happy about something (??). Judi happy re party and re Dallas having Pat come down to clean up the hall; also happy we have our very own nerd (Howiee??). Sam happy our board hosted Circle K officers last week and gave them some funds to go to International Convention. “A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on”. Dan happy re his Nascar Drivers show starting Friday on FXN for 10 weeks. Carol happy re new computer. Hope it works to get out the bulletin today. Mike happy to have a fellow USC Trojan here today.
