Members Reunite at Morui ug Coffee Originally intended to be a social club, this organization still has several such activities for its members. Included are a Reunion Coffee as well as an annual Christmas Party where the members ' chil- dren provide the entertainment after a covered dish dinner. Invitations to former members are mailed well in advance of the scheduled Reunion date. Each year exes from out- of-state join local members for the cele- bration. Mrs. Clyde R.

With solemn expressions on their faces, new members Carolyn Mar- tinez, Alice Vargas, and Gloria Garcia nervously prepare to recite the initiation pledge of Los Paisanos. Paisaiios Help Needy After Yiiletide Dance From the solemn candlelight initiation cere- monies to the satirical Miss Collegiate contest, LOS PAISANOS is a club of changing moods. Established as a Spanish cultural and social or- ganization, the group combines fun with charita- ble works, and cultural studies. Each winter, club members select people in their own neighborhood whom they think are needy. This year, food collected at the Christmas Dance was delivered directly to three families. Virginia Henderson, professional flamenco dancer, donated her time as a featured entertain- er as did other SAC students at the Spring Dance, Baile de Primavera. The center decoration, a pinata in the form of a massive red bull, was the unusual door prize.
