Kate Stevenson, shown above during her Treasure Sale at Cooper Landing School, was on Antiques Roadshow in Anchorage on July 11! Her Charles Schultz signed Peanuts cartoon* caught the interest of the show’s producer. The Seawolves hockey program at UAA is benefitting from Kate’s generosity. We’ll be looking for Kate on episodes sometime early next year. Kate is planning another Open House and Treasures Sale in Helen Gwin Commons on November 4. Over $800 was made for CLSCCI during this event last year. Funds were earmarked for tools and emergency electric heaters. Kate was active with the CLSCCI board in early years and instrumental in the inclusion of the little greenhouse in the Eagle’s View parking area.

Mario Carboni, everyone’s favorite piano player and singer, wil beginning at 1:30. Coffee and cookies and other sweets will be served. In the picture from July 2021, Mario is cheerffully surrounded by his audience after his performances.
