To meet the group's fundraising goal, La Mirada Ebell's 2010-2011 plans include Bridge and Bunco tournaments, Meals Out fundraisers and a bus trip to Pechanga Casino.

Members also will assist the local Kiwanis Club with its Meals on Wheels Spaghetti Dinner and Children's Holiday Shopping Trip. The group also will help with the City with its Youth-in-Government program, Memorial Day Service, Rabies Shot Clinic, Spring Beautification Program, Safe Graduation Night Party and Symphony projects.

Women of all ages interested in community service while making new friends are invited to any meeting. Contact Susan Gonzales, membership, 562 743-0957, or Doris Thompson, president, 562 943-2060, for more information.
