The Value of Travel
We feel it, too – it’s costly to travel these days!
The Club comes to the rescue by offering travel benefits every day. Staff members Mariana Guevara and Lupe Lira – and Club Members, too – team up to offer you many tips that can save you money.
The Club is all about Member value. Value makes it possible for public service families like yours to better afford a quality, fun, satisfying life. Go ahead and dig in, and take advantage.
Scholarship Deadline
The Joannie Mukai Club Scholarship program is one of the most important benefits of being a Club Member. Every year, we honor dozens of college students – Club Members or related to Club Members – for their academic and service achievements. So I remind you that the deadline for submitting Club Scholarship materials is later this month – 3 p.m. June 26. Mariana Guevara and the Club’s Scholarship Committee invite you to act confidently and submit! See the article in this issue for requirements and the submission link.
Cal DMV Sergeant
I send belated congratulations to Christian Buado, who was promoted to Sergeant last year in the State of California’s DMV Investigations Unit in Cerritos. He holds a special place in Club history: Sgt. Buado is the very first Employees Club Member from the State of California. (We now enjoy thousands of State employees as Members.) We honor you, Sgt. Buado!
Thank You, Renee
I honor the service of longtime Club Member Renee Ramirez, LAFD, who retired recently after 36 years of City service. Renee assisted us countless times in the production of Alive!, and she also participated passionately in our previous Picture Perfect contest. Thank you for your service, Renee, and consider submitting photos to the Retirees Best Life photo contest.
Don’t Stop Believin’
Guess what popped up as number 5 in the April top songs downloaded through the Los Angeles Public Library –Journey’s all-time classic! (And how appropriate for our Travel Benefits issue to have a song from a band named Journey.) Check out the fascinating list every month in Alive! online. (Thanks to Susan Lendroth, Library, for compiling these lists every month.)
Worth Considering
As you plan your family journeys this summer, I wish you a grounded character but a traveling heart.
Enjoy your summer, Club Members.
