Club to hear why being prepared is the better option

Andrew Vialpando will stress the importance of "Emergency Preparedness" at the 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10 meeting of La Mirada Ebell Club at Splash, 13806 La Mirada Blvd., La Mirada. Vialpando is an administrative analyst for the City of La Mirada.

Mary Abbott, repeating as president, will recognize Lesley Watson as  the newest Club member.  Formed in 1956, the non-profit group meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month, September-June, to plan fundraising projects.  A recent Bunco party netted $1500.00 of the Club's 2014-15 goal of presenting $1,000.00 scholarships to four college-bound high school graduates, Abbott said.

Also serving are:  Eva Saenz, membership; Michele Brunmier, ways and means; Susan Cable, program; Socorro Frias, secretary; Rebecca Cline, treasurer; and Marjorie Murphy, parliamentarian.
