Prometheoids
Bringers of Fire to the LASFS

In the bad old days (until mid-2011), the food for the Second Sunday open house was cooked on a charcoal grill. We now have a propane grill instead, which is much easier to use and clean.  The following members contributed money for the new grill:

Patrick Fahey
Hamilton Westbrooks
David T. Okamura
Michael Thorsen
Barbara Harmon
Ed Hooper
Robin DePari
Scott Tygett
Marcia Minsky
Mary Ann Canfield

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.
