The Pacific Palisades Junior Women’s Club gave away $62,267 to 34 community organizations at a March 1 ceremony at the Woman’s Club. Representatives from nonprofits in four areas–arts and recreation, education, beautification and community and charitable organizations accepted the grants. ‘Thank you for all you do for the community,’ PPJWC project selection committee co-chair Kendra LaSalle told recipients. Four groups, the Castellammare Mesa Homeowners Association, Corpus Christi School, the Chamber of Commerce and the Community Council, received first-time money for their projects. The Junior Women also continued their support of Movies in the Park’s quest for a new projector and the Palisades Americanism Parade Association, which needs $95,000 to cover the town’s annual Fourth of July parade and fireworks. Accepting the award for the OomPaPa Band, member Phyllis Schlessinger told the Junior Women, ‘You’re our sole means of support. I invite everyone to get out the old band uniforms and join us.’ (The Post’s complete story detailing the various grants will appear in our March 10 issue.)
