Our next San Carlos Area Council (SCAC) meeting will be Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 6 p.m. in the San Carlos Branch Library, 7265 Jackson Drive. Our guest speaker will be Councilmember Scott Sherman who will discuss, among other things, the state of District 7 and respond to questions from the audience. Our bi-monthly meetings are open to the public, member and non-members alike and we encourage your attendance.
In addition to enjoying the councilmember’s presentation, we will have our annual election of Board of Directors. SCAC needs more directors, so if you are interested, please come to meetings and get to know us. Applications are available at our meetings.

Patrick Henry High School
Prom night is May 14 and will be held at the San Diego Zoo! Now is a good time for those wanting to clear their closets of gently used formal wear they no longer wear and consider donating that clothing to the PHHS. There are students who would love to go to prom but the cost of this special evening can be just too daunting; but by donating your gently used but in good shape clothing, you can make the difference in helping someone feel royal instead of not being able to attend.
Last year I cleaned out my closet of six dresses that I was no longer emotionally attached to and donated them to PHHS. I felt so good because I not only cleaned out some unused clothing, but I was helping a student who may not have been able to attend prom because of cost. For information on how you can help (both mens and womens clothing is needed) please contact me at 619-461-6032.
