Hair, Nails, Pedicure and Therapeutic Massage Services Quartzsite Roadrunners Gem & Mineral Club is pleased to an- nounce the award of four $900 scholarships to graduating Senior high school students from the Quartzsite area this year. The Club has a longstanding tradition of pro- viding scholarship funding to local graduating seniors. The Club sponsored three music nights to raise the funds for this worthwhile project. Two were held at the QIA and one at Salome High School. Club member Zee Pacheco was instrumental in arranging for local musicians and musical groups who donated their time and talent to assist in attaining the Club's goal for funding for these scholarships. "The Little Sisters", "The Gram- pas and Grammas", "The Desert Drifters" with the "Lemon Sisters", along with Cookie Shannon and her variety group were most gra- cious in providing the entertain- ment. Those in attendance were enthralled at the performances. QIA kindly provided the use of the venue as well as donating the proceeds of the concessions during the shows. Their support is truly appreciated. A skillfully crafted pine needle basket donated by Pam Caskey was a major plus in our fundrais- ing efforts. She and her commit- tee gathered many other raffl e prizes donated by club members and local businesses to given away at the fi nal music night.

If necessary, specialty care referrals can be made to the Loma Linda VA Medical Center. The Clinic is completely handicapped accessible, allowing full and easy access for all Veterans. The Blythe VA Clinic is currently providing care to approximately 800 Veterans. The open house will increase health care eligibility and availability awareness among Veterans.
