PaliHi Baseball Dinner Friday The Palisades High baseball program, under the leadership of Head Varsity Coach Mike Voelkel, will hold its second annual Traditions Dinner and Silent Auction this Friday, November 13, at the Bel Air Country Club. This year, two longtime program supporters will be honored: Steve Skolnik and Coach Patrick Andersen. Each of Steve and Virginia Skolnik’s three sons–Sam, Matt, and David–played varsity for the Dolphins. Andersen has contributed to four straight league titles as a pitching coach and is a credentialed P.E. and special education teacher. The keynote speaker at the dinner will be John Savage, who is in his sixth season as UCLA’s head baseball coach. Besides dinner and a memorable program, the evening will feature a silent auction, giving program supporters an opportunity to bid on a wide range of useful, beautiful, sports-centric, entertaining and enlightening items. Tickets are on sale for $150 per person. To attend the dinner and auction, call Vicki Traweek at (310) 422-3496.
