characters making an appearance will be Humpty Dumpty and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men and Jiminy Cricket to name a few.”
Due to the popularity of allowing people who bought an entire table of eight seats to dress it up in keeping with the theme, the club has decided to allow it again this year.
Me Boutique, Bombshells, Amani, Golf Pro Shop and Gyspsy Sunset will be providing the clothes for the show. Entertainment will be provided by lo- cal DJ and entertainer Aprile DeAnne. Lunch will be catered by the Lighthouse Restaurant.
Last year, the Fashion Show raised $19,000 to go towards the more than $35,000 the club gave to local charities and in the form of scholarships to girls who live in Canyon Lake.
The next major community event put on by the Woman’s Club will be the 3rd annual Mermaid Festival in August at Indian Beach. The event includes a Cardboard Boat Race and Pirate Battle, along with food and vendor booths, chil- dren’s crafts, contests and the crowning of the Mermaid Court.
Woman’s Club History
The Woman’s Club has hosted a va- riety of community events in its long history. According to canyonlakewom- ansclub.com, the club was founded in 1972 when a group of Canyon Lake women wanted to meet their neigh- bors. They organized an early morning “Kidnap Breakfast,” allowing those kid- napped to put on two things: a robe and false teeth.
This same group, plus the kidnap vic- tims, met and decided to form a Wom- an’s Club. Bylaws were written and, on November 14, 1972, the first election of officers was held. There were 91 char- ter members. Their main purpose at that time was to purchase safety equipment and support activities for teens.
A suggestion was also made to con- tact the Riverside County Libraries to request a bookmobile stop in Canyon Lake. A book exchange table was set up at the CLWC monthly meeting. This led to establishing a financial sponsorship program to manage the development and growth of the local library.
Space was rented and the Woman’s Club paid the utility bills. Woman’s

Club volunteers staffed the library, which eventually be- came part of the Riverside County Library System.
One of the first money- making events was a rum- mage sale held at the Village Center. This evolved into a swap meet, first held at Blue Bird Hall and then moved to the Towne Center. In 2004, the membership voted to no longer hold a swap meet.
The club’s first Home Tour was held on November 24, 1973. This event continues to be held annually before Christmas and is a successful fundraiser. It now includes a drawing for decorated Christ- mas trees and a vendor bou- tique.
In 2007, a “Taste of Par- adise” cookbook was cre- ated from recipes donated by members. It proved to be a successful fundraiser.
At over 90 years old, Laverne Cann is the oldest model to walk the runway in the Fashion Show. Her friends in the Woman's Club gave her a standing ovation. Laverne served as president of the club from 1977 to 1978.
In 2011, the board adopted
a logo and sold T-shirts and sweatshirts with the glitzy logo. In 2014, vendors were added to the general membership meetings and the meetings were given
themes.
All these events continue to be major
fundraisers. Members continue to put in countless hours, display their many tal- ents and make new friendships as they
raise money to be donated to philan- thropic recipients and scholarships.
A footnote at the bottom of the club’s website says, “Life’s Greatest Treasure – Friendship.”

was held to address Dawn's compli- ance with current Reimbursement Policy throughout 2016.
In light of the investigation, there were several options available to the council for addressing the issue, said City Attorney Elizabeth Martyn, in-
cluding reimbursement of funds, bar- ring future reimbursement of funds and asking Dawn to step down as mayor.
Prior to the council making one of those decisions, Dawn voluntarily stepped down as mayor. The council accepted the decision.
After the adjournment of the open
session meeting, the council went into a closed session meeting. Dawn, who was visibly upset, left the meet- ing and did not attend the closed ses- sion meeting with the council.
Vicki, the mayor pro team going into the meeting, has assumed the duties of mayor. The Council will be appointing a new mayor pro tem
at the next city council meeting on Wednesday, May 3.
Further discussions regarding re- payment of the overpaid expenses will be held by the council at a future date, said the new mayor. Vicki also stated that the council plans to fur- ther investigate City Manager Aaron Palmer's role in these problems.
