Prometheoids

Hamilton Westbrooks
David T. Okamura
Michael Thorsen
Barbara Harmon
Ed Hooper

LASFS Luminaries

These are the fen who donated money for the purpose of installing energy-efficient light fixtures in Building 4SJ of the North Hollywood clubhouse on Burbank Blvd. (The Van Nuys clubhouse on Tyrone Avenue already has energy efficient lighting.) We honor these kind souls for setting a shining example for us all.
