All of the PSA winning images for the past two years are posted for viewing.

Selected images from the DVD made from the October competition plus other submitted images have been used by the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve for promotion and educational purposes. LPA members made posters from some of the images and they were used at the Prime Desert display at the California Poppy Festival. Other images are displayed inside the building to illustrate the plants and animals that can found inside the preserve.

Thanks to the generosity of LPA members who contributed over $1,300.00 the club was able to purchase a 46-inch Sony Bravia flat screen television, a mount for the television and a memorial plaque to be hung with the television. The television and mount were delivered to the Prime Desert on April 19th. AV Trophy will deliver the plaque within the next month. The City of Lancaster will do the installation of the television. When all is in place there will be a formal ceremony at the Prime Desert Interpretive Center and advance notice and details will be forthcoming on the LPA website.

The last S4C Interclub competition was done last weekend, and Jodi Champagne (Comp Motor 2 A Division) and Don Bennett (Cheetahs AA Division) both received Honorable Mentions. Our members did very well this year, and it has been a pleasure entering our LPA images in the S4C competitions this year (from Helen and me).
