Lee Lombard
This month we’d like to give thanks to Lee Lombard. Lee is one of our Transportation Assistance Program (TAP) drivers. In fact he is one of our top TAP drivers, consistently in the top three for miles driven and hours. He came to the center nearly five years ago, just looking to donate some books, when he happened to see a TAP flyer on the board. He asked the Front Desk person what TAP was, and she took him straight to the TAP coordinator. That was all it took, and he=s been driving ever since. He now drives every weekday, and even on weekends, sometimes taking 2 rides a day. He drives all over the Inland Empire which doesn’t leave him much time to explore the fun things our center has to offer, but he hopes to get involved soon. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, his father’s travels in the Air Force eventually brought him out to March AFB in Riverside, and he=s been here ever since. He did a stint in the Air Force, where he got trained in Military Pay, which helped him after he left, to get into Money Management, which he turned into a 30 year career as a banker and financial advisor. Now single, he has a daughter and two grandsons. Thanks Lee stepping up big time into this important program.

Description: This month we’d like to introduce you to our newest class, a Guitar class. We’ve had various stringed instrument classes here before, from 88 strings on the piano, to four on the ukulele. Now it’s time to learn how to strum and pick on the guitar. Your instructor is Tony Castaneda. Tony has been teaching for 20 plus years. He started when he was ten years old after seeing an ad in a comic book, where one could sell seeds and win a guitar. Well he ended up winning a Gene Autry guitar and has been playing ever since. The class is FREE and Tony takes on all levels of experience. All a student needs to bring is a guitar, a music stand, a pick, and a willingness to learn and practice. Tony will handle the rest. Classes are held on Wednesdays from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. in the Exercise room.

Mardi Gras
By: Mike Sylva
Maybe New Year Resolutions should officially begin the day after Fat Tuesday. That way we can not feel so bad about breaking those resolutions so quickly! Regardless, we are still going to party hard before giving it up for Lent. That’s right. It’s Mardi Gras Time!
Join us on February 9th at 1:30 pm while we live it up before giving it up until Easter! There will be snacks, beads, and jazz band entertainment. Tickets are only $2, and RSVP’s are required so call us at (909)862-8104 and get ready to party!
