Lung cancer is responsible for over 30% of all cancer deaths. It kills twice as many women each year as breast cancer and three times as many men as prostate cancer. The fastest growing group getting lung cancer are young women who have never smoked. We don’t know why. It is sad that lung cancer is the most underfunded cancer even though it kills more people than the next 5 cancers combined. 

On May 2nd, 2010 I am participating in the 2nd annual San Diego Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Walk.  I hope that you can help make a difference by walking with me on May 2nd or making a donation to my team. Also I would hope that if you see legislation to support lung cancer funding, you would vote for it. Thank you.

How could we ever thank  Earl Walls for the tremendous work he has done for Palomar Mountain?  Just one of the ways he has given back to this community has been as the chair for the CCPM – Community Center of Palomar Mountain.   Earl had the vision of turning the very tired, cirica 1936 cabin, next the the fire into a nicely remodeled and furnished Community Center.  He didn’t waste any time rolling up his sleeves and going to work – most often all by himself  –  occasionally with a handful of volunteers to demo, repair, rebuild and transform the building into something to enjoy for generations to come.  Thanks Earl, from the bottom of our hearts!  Bonnie Phelps 

Here is the message from Earl:  

COMMUNITY CENTER OF PALOMAR MOUNTAIN, INC.

To the residents and friends of Palomar Mountain, from Earl L. Walls, retiring chairman of the Board of Directors:

 As many of you are aware, during the past year and a half or so, we have been diligently working on the remodel of the house adjacent to the fire station garage to make it more suitable for use as a Community Center. Except for the painting of the outside, delayed for better weather to come, the remodel is complete. But this effort has come at a price of my failing to keep up with the fiduciary responsibility of meeting the requirements set forth in the by laws to have regular meetings, including annual meetings, during which elections of officers would occur. For this, I am deeply sorry and hope that you will forgive my lack of diligence.

On Saturday the 20th of this month there will be a St. Patrick’s Day dinner featuring corned beef and cabbage* and celebrating the Grand Opening of the Community Center. This is to be held at the Community Center and the adjacent Fire Station at five o’clock in the evening.

This event has two primary purposes:

To introduce the Center to the residents and interested visitors as to the benefits and services it provides to the Mountain.

To raise funds for repaying the PMPO for the loan extended by it to purchase the furnishings used in the Center; and to provide for the initial operating expenses anticipated for the first year of operation. It is my fervent hope that the community will respond openly and generously to this effort.
