Coronado, CA-Southern California's Newest Lawn Bowling Green is Taking Shape!
****
May 16, 2009 - From Roger Gunn
April 6, 2009- Green at Risk
It has come to our attention that another green in the SouthWest is being threatened by a local Parks and Recreation Department. The question of the Hermosa Beach’s club has been questioned. There is a meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission Tuesday night at 7PM where the club will be making its case for its future. The Hermosa Beach club appreciates all the support that SW bowlers might be able to provide to it at this meeting. Your presence would be greatly appreciated. The Hermosa Beach club has moved away from whites, so it is requested that club shirts be worn to the meeting if you attend. Let’s get out to help support the future of bowls in Southern California.
REGULAR MEETING PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 – Council Chambers, City Hall

April 8, 2009- Hermosa Beach LBC update
Julian Katz and Howard Harris rallied the HBLBC and SWD into action, creating an impressive turnout at The Parks & Recreation Council Meeting. Julian (HBLBC President) was supported by about 15 of his members, many of whom spoke to the commissioners. Additionally, Rosa Gandara (HBLBC member) spoke about her International acheivements in lawn bowls while representing the USA and Hermosa Beach. Bill Wolff (Hermosa Beach's district rep), Brian Studwell (USLBA treasurer) and Len Cormier (SWD Open House Committee) also spoke. Everyone who spoke made it very clear that Lawn Bowls is vital to the community, state and country. Lawn Bowling dominated their meeting. You can view a video of the meeting here.

To
all Marion's Lawn Bowling friends -
Marion passed away peacefully this past Saturday, Jan 16 at her apartment in Newport
Beach with family by her side. I want you all to know of our plans
for services and invite you to attend if you can make it. Thank you
so much for all the cards, love, and support over the last 8 months as Mom was
battling cancer. She was a remarkable woman and will be missed by her
family and many friends. Please pass this information on to members
in your club who knew Marion and may want to attend.
Mom loved her involvement with the lawn bowling community throughout her
retirement and missed it so very much when she became ill. I am grateful
she was able to attend the Newport Harbor holiday party in December and see so
many of you again.
Memorial services will be this Sunday, Jan 24 at noon. The attached obituary will be running in the LA Times Daily Pilot (Newport Beach area insert), and shorter versions in a few other publications later this week.

I got a phone call from a local business offering
us the $1,500 we need.
Looks like we'll survive this year and get started
into next.
