La Mirada Ebell Planning for 2012
La Mirada~"Food, Fun and Fellowship" will be the theme when La Mirada Ebell Club members meet 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14 at De Luca's Restaurant in Whittier.
Members traditionally use this session to review previous fundraising efforts, then regroup in January to finalize plans for the rest of the 2011-2012 club year.
A recent visit to Pechanga Resort and Casino was so successful the Club is considering a 2nd such bus trip after the New Year.
"La Mirada Ebell scholarships help high school graduates further their education", said President Cheri Collin, noting that last year's efforts allowed the club to present four $1,000.00 scholarships.
Future events include helping the Kiwanis Club at Sears this month as local youngsters complete their holiday shopping. Members also will provide and sell desserts at the Kiwanis-sponsored Spaghetti Dinner for Meals On Wheels, and host a Fashion Show April 14 at the La Mirada Country Club.
Women interested in community service are invited to join La Mirada Ebell at any time. Call Lorrie Larson, (714) 521-2561, for further information.
