Great thanks to a few dedicated members, Kelly Pajak and Rebecca Smith and non-members, Sherry Noone, Martha Hummel and Roy and Michelle French who participated in the Running Springs Mountain Top Days Parade as a part of MAPS. I am extremely grateful because without them we would not have had a presence in the parade at all. Thanks again.

Get ready to stay up late Monday night. If the sky is clear just after midnight (officially Tuesday, April 15) Pacific time, a full moon with a reddish tinge will shine above Southern California, the first of four total lunar eclipses in the next 17 months.

Find out more about the specific timing of the eclipse -- and why some evangelical religious leaders think it might be something more momentous: http://x.pe.com/1nlLgWI
