Trey Johnson
Trey Johnson (right) was part of the appreciative crowd at tonight’s “Always... Patsy Cline” opening at the spacious new Palm Springs Pavillion. Trey’s mom is Julie Johnson whose voice mirrors country music’s greatest star. Sally Struthers plays Patsy’s biggest fan in this lively musical based on a true story. It runs through July 3, and is definitely worth a drive to the desert (even in the heat of summer!)

Mayor Sanders

 


Mayor Jerry Sanders and Councilmember Toni Atkins spoke before an interested crowd this morning at The Center’s popular monthly community breakfast forum.

2006		 More than 65 million Americans volunteered last year, but the participation rate has remained flat since 2002 and participation varies widely by state (26.1% of Californians pitch in to help), region and ethnic group. This coming Sunday you can volunteer to help our broke city (and Hillcrest) by pushing a broom for a couple of hours. We’ll even give you cookies and coffee at 9:45...and other stuff, too. Hope to see you at the next Clean T.E.A.M. gathering.

2006 		“The fact of the matter is that it tells a story, and without the plaque, you basically have a grave marker that is left here and doesn’t explain too much about this extraordinary individual. It’s a desecration of his grave site.”
