November LCLAA Meeting

Hello all, our next meeting is scheduled for Saturday 11-8-08 12:00 noon at Local 5960. We have a few issues to go over including plans for our next event. That event will be our annual "La Amistad" senior citizen's luncheon slated for December 13, 2008 at the "Ruth Petersen" building. As you know this luncheon is a pot luck luncheon provided by the members of our chapter. So we will be in need of all your support to make this a successful event. Thank you and we'll see on the 8th. Dave.

This year we used the Azteca Boxing Club as the gathering place to conclude our annual Cesar Chavez Street clean up and Humanitarian Award presentation. We had help from our Chapter and members of the Azteca Boxing club out in the streets cleaning up. It was a cold day to start but with the sun out, it was a beautiful morning and temps warmed up quickly. Here Mayor Clarence Phillips is being awarded with this years Cesar Chavez Humanitarian award. It is awarded to an individual or organization that has been supportive of LCLAA and or our causes. Mayor Phillips has been very supportive throughout the years as a State Representative and now as Mayor of Pontiac.
