Speak Up Newport’s October program will be a Newport Beach City

Council candidates forum held on Oct. 13. The 6 p.m. program will be

held at the Newport Beach Yacht Club (corner of Jamboree and Bayside,

formerly the Shark Island Yacht Club) and will be preceded by a

reception at 5 p.m. with appetizers and a cash bar.

Speak Up Newport is a nonprofit mutual benefit organization for

the purpose of providing a forum for the issues facing Newport Beach

and to give deserved public recognition to individuals, volunteer

organizations and the public officials who have given their time and

effort to make a positive contribution to the betterment of the

Newport Beach community.

There is no charge for the monthly program. Voluntary annual

membership in Speak Up Newport is $20 per membership. For more

information, contact Dave Goff at (714) 235-5315

LIONS ATTEND INTERNATIONAL VISITATION IN ENSENADA

Seven members of the Harbor Mesa Lions Club recently attended the

48th annual Lion’s Visitation in Ensenada, Mexico. Lions clubs from

District 4-L4 participated in the four-day event, which was hosted by

the Ensenada Lions Club. District 4-L4 Gov. Barbara Hayward reported

that the visiting clubs donated a total of nearly $8,000 in

contributions of school supplies, medical equipment, eyeglasses and

cash. Costa Mesa City Councilman Mike Scheafer, of the Costa Mesa

Newport Harbor Lions, was a chairman and one of the organizers of the

visitation.

HEARTS AND HANDS DAY

More than 500 youths and adults from more than two dozen different

congregations and service clubs will come together on Nov. 20 for the

Newport Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council’s Hearts and Hands “Hands On”

Service Day, according to council Vice President Jaimie Day. There

will be on-site projects for a number of local community groups and

international relief projects. This is an interfaith day of service

as Christians, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Bahais and service club

members come together to work on projects that benefit our local

communities as well as needy people around the world.

One special project this year will be the collection of items for

the men and women of the armed services stationed in Iraq. We will

have more about that in a future Community & Clubs column.

You, your family, club and even office group are welcome to join

in the fun of hands-on service on Nov. 20. You can spend an hour or

all day, depending on your schedule. There are projects for just

about every age group and experience level. High school students can

get Newport Mesa Unified School District service hours for their

participation.

To volunteer, contact Day at (949) 642-9460 or by e-mail at

[email protected].
