JIM DE BOOM -- Community & Clubs
- Share via
Stop by Chipotle, a gourmet restaurant where you may “eat with your
hands” between 5 and 8 tonight. Make a $5 donation to Share Our Selves,
and then dine on the finest in tacos, burritos, chips and salsa. For the
$5 donation, owner Steve Ells will even throw in a soft drink or two.
Bring the family!
The new restaurant, at 2300 Harbor Blvd. (near the corner of Wilson
Avenue), is underwriting the cost of the evening as a benefit for SOS and
our community. During the week, for lunch or dinner, you will be able to
enjoy fresh chopped herbs, fresh guacamole daily, fresh grilled meats and
freshly made chips and taco shells.
LEO CLUB: The Costa Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions have sponsored a new
Leo Club. The Leos are the youth organization of Lions International. The
Leos are called the Estancia Leos, as they are students at Estancia High
School.
Charter night for the club was held Jan. 23 at the Costa Mesa Country
Club. Lion District Gov. Dan Mayer installed the club, and the officers
were installed by our district Leo advisor, Dave Hubbard. Eighteen new
Leos formed the club at Estancia. They will be doing various community
service projects. Their first project was to help decorate the Lions Rose
Parade float in Pasadena. They will also be doing various fund-raisers to
help with charitable donations. They also will become an integral part of
the Fish Fry.
Lions Mike Scheafer and Art Perry will act as advisors to the new
club. Newly installed charter officers for the Leos are Greg Rausch,
president; Eric Scheafer, vice president; Somer Flaherty, secretary; and
Jennifer Cassity, treasurer.
Meetings are held on the Estancia campus. Any parents or students
wanting more information may call Perry at Estancia, or Mike Scheafer at
(714) 435-0300.
SPEECH CONTEST: The Harbor-Mesa Lions club will host the annual
Student Speakers Contest at its meeting Monday at the Costa Mesa Country
Club. Four students from Newport Harbor High School will compete in the
contest on the subject “Politics, Issues or Money?” Students have the
opportunity to compete at the regional, district and multiple Lions
district levels, with winnings of as much as $18,000. The meeting will
start with dinner at 6:30 p.m., and anyone interested in attending may
call President Darlene Shelley at (949) 548-7428.
SPEECH CONTESTANTS NEEDED: The Rotary Club of Newport-Balboa is
looking for contestants from Newport Harbor and Corona del Mar high
schools for its speech contest to be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the
Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club. The theme for this year’s contest is “Create
Awareness -- Take Action,” said Youth Services Director Art Walton. Club
winners will go on to the area contest and could advance to the district
finals, where cash rewards await the top contestants. To enter the
contest, call Walton at (949) 650-1900 as soon as possible.
