Business Network

Groups are flourishing in the Westside, Tri-City and Valley areas. Call Carole Linn or Bob Taylor at 310/827-4044 or 310/900-0000 for these locations. Meetings are once a month, leads are exchanged and only one individual from each profession can join. You must be a member to apply.

Education

Each year the committee plans and presents a beautiful holiday party for inner-city students at Utah Street School (see accompanying story, page 3). Members can bring spouses or guests and enjoy an afternoon with approximately 60 children singing carols and lining up to chat with our hi-lingual Santa.

Thanks to premier party planners Mary Owens, Bob Mosier and Katherine Schneider.
