Kudos to all at Ark for working so hard on behalf of the animals \u2014 as well as providing great, guiltless shopping for their clientele. What\u2019s better than purchasing a unique Venetian latrine while helping the animals at the same time?! The Spay Neuter action Project (SNAP) has been a beneficiary of Ark\u2019s generosity since its opening. Not only have they granted many thousands of dollars in support of our Neuter Scooter clinics, but Ark is a Great Dane sponsor of the La Jolla Pet Parade \u2014 a benefit for SNAP. Thank you, Ark, for being such a great and giving heart for various animal charities in San Diego County. <i>Candy Schumann Co-founder\/volunteer executive director SNAP<\/i> <b>Tempest in a teapot<\/b> Hysteria fomented by [those] at the iconic La Jolla Woman\u2019s Club (LJWC) gives one pause. My friend at the LJWC is a bright senior, formerly serving in club leadership. She says that a few members are upset about lattice at the club and the tumult about catering and finances is a cynical, backdoor attempt to discredit club leadership and smear the manager. Unabashedly and shamelessly led by members Hilda Berg, Lois Clifton, Carol Gatchel and followers \u2026 [they] fuel hysteria using unsubstantiated financial information, personal attack, contrived press conferences, a fancy law firm &#8230; My friend says the club is used by members for bridge, nice luncheons with excellent, inexpensive food. The property is city-owned and the club is a solvent non-profit with nearly $200,000 in liquid assets, no debt or rent. She notes each pays a princely $30 in annual dues, receiving a delightful twice weekly bridge venue serving water, coffee, snacks and wine \u2014 free! What\u2019s not to like? Shame on all of you! Stop it now. Get a life! Miss Scripps would be as shocked I am. PS: The hated lattice was blessed by all appropriate S.D. and L.J. government agencies! <i>Rebecca Ruth (Sampson) Cohen University City<\/i> <b>Tax dollars for the stadium<\/b> The Chargers say they will need $500 million of tax dollars to build a stadium downtown.
