OK, I’LL TRY TO GET IT RIGHT

Brad Schwarz, editor of The Tale, the newsletter of the Costa

Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions Club, notes that not once, but twice, I have

announced in this column that Roberto Jara is a new member of the Lions

Club. Schwarz points out that Roberto actually joined the Lions Club in

1982 and has 18 years of perfect attendance. Roberto did sponsor the

club’s newest member, his nephew, Raul Jara. Welcome to the world of

service clubs, Raul!
