Lions Club says aloha to new members

JIM DE BOOM

The Newport Beach Hawaiian Lions Club held its second fundraiser

benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation earlier this

summer at Gary’s Island Home Store in Fashion Island. The event,

featuring live Hawaiian music and dancers, was enjoyed by more than

300 guests according to club President Sally Nockold.

Lions Club members wore traditional Hawaiian attire, as did most

of the guests, and were rewarded with leis flown in from the Islands.

Nockold said the event, which included dinner and a silent auction

with more than 100 items, raised almost $19,000 for Juvenile Diabetes

research. Sally Lawrence, the special event manager for JDRF’s Orange

County chapter, was on hand to receive the check from the Lions Club.

Recently, the Lions Club inducted new members Cheryl Mitchell,

Sandra Hill, Gigi Metcalf, Suzanne Rosas, Jean Unatin, Ani Dylan,

John Kasell and Linda Nelson.

“A love of Hawaii, it’s history and culture and a sincere desire

to help those less fortunate in the community is all you need to

qualify for membership,” Nockold said.

CANDIDATES FORUM

The Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the Daily

Pilot, Comcast Cable and CMTV, will hold a Costa Mesa City Council

candidates forum from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The forum will

be televised live from the Costa Mesa City Council Chambers on

Comcast channel 3 or CMTV channel 24. This is an easy way to learn

more about each candidate. Tune in Costa Mesans!

TV VIEWING TIP

Check out “7th Heaven” on Monday nights at 8 p.m. on KTLA. Make it

a family viewing time. There is a little corn, usually some laughs

and some good discussion opportunities for families. I hope you enjoy

“7th Heaven” as much as Barbara and I do!
