Valley People: Givers get the gift of barbecue

For a change, Scotts Valley Kiwanis Club members were treated to a meal on Wednesday, July 8, instead of providing a community service, as they usually do.
Allen and Maria Reames provided a Mongolian barbecue at their home for the Kiwanians, frequent providers of charitable funds and works in the area.
“This barbecue is our private way of saying thanks for the time and effort expended by the dedicated people who are behind these good works,” Maria Reames said.
Other service clubs and community organizations will be treated to barbecues in the future, according to Allen Reames.

The President’s List recognizes students who earned a perfect 4.0 grade-point average.
LeTourneau is a Christian university with rigorous academic standards, school Vice President Robert W. Hudson said.
