Paul Newman was instrumental in projects I have just recently learned about. Seems his proceeds from race car driving to his various kitchen offerings (salad dressings and so forth) have been funding 7 different camps. The 6th one is actually just a short drive away from my own home by Lake Hughes..it is situated in a tree lined camp and is where youngsters with disabling and life threatening diseases along with family, can stay for a week plus everything without any charge. They have fun and learn skills to use in their own handicapped lives. A full medical staff is there during camp times and Getty has given art works and artifacts for its' beauty as well. It is called "The Painted Turtle" and can be found at 17000-Elizabeth Rd.,Lake Hughes,CA 93532 #661-724-1550. www.thepaintedturtle.org The Vineyard church folks of the Antelope Valley has a keen interest in this "The Hole in the Wall Camps" It is reported our basketball team "The Lakers" have donated $100,000 toward this project. I felt it was worthy of note to see just some of the many activities our NBA is a part of. Lakers will be meeting now on Monday with the Phoenix Suns at our own Staples Center, L.A. Although we do have tall players on our team, the Suns ambitious endeavors with such devotion for unified play and their speed + youth playing on the courts will give us a very good and lively game to watch. See you then. Babs Wells |
