****Dear Lola,

****Every now and then the angels smile on us and we get to experience
****something really special. Your show was such a gift.

****On behalf of The Rotary Club of Laguna Beach, I would like to
****express our deepest gratitude for your generosity and talent in
****making "An Evening with Lola" the most successful fundraiser
****since I have been in the club. We were stagnating and you helped
*** us get some new energy and an emotional head start with our
****new and scary bike race project.

****If I said you were fabulous, awesome, funny, magnificent, hilarious
****and even halacious, it would be true, but it would miss the mark.
****In my opinion, your routine was every bit as good as the best of
**** Shelly Berman, Bob Newheart, Bill Cosby, and Tim Allen.
**** And yet, you gave us something they never did. You made us
**** laugh AND cry. You inspired us by sharing the truths of your
**** life and gave us all a glimpse of what real courage, and true class
**** are all about. Thank you, dear lady, thank you.

****I agree with Hank. Anyone who can hit the ceiling is truly
****a winner!!

****Joyfully yours,

****Bob Lewin
****Rotary Club of Laguna Beach
