ALBANY LAMPOON "THE CLUB THAT KNOWS HOW" 65th Year June 26, 2008 Edition SECRETARY - JAN VALTR PRESIDENT - RAY ANDERSON EDITOR - BOB NICHOLS PROGRAM, PROGRAMS, PROGRAMS! This Week's Program "Peralta House" The topic of this week's program will be "Peralta House." A local and state landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This farmhouse represents Spanish-speaking California on the cusp of a new era after the Gold Rush and annexation of California by the United States. Forgotten for generations, the 1870 House is now restored to its original condition, and the surrounding Park will be landscaped to tell its forgotten story and provide enjoyment of the local community. This newly established six-acre facility is the last vestige of the Peraltas' 45,000-acre Rancho San Antonio, estimated to be the most valuable Spanish land grant ever made in California. It stands in the middle of the diverse Fruitvale District, which is the geographic center of the City of Oakland. In a multicultural sense, it represents the founding settlement of Oakland. Last Week's Playland NOT at the Beach Our speaker was Richard Tuck, the "Master of Fun" for the recently opened "Playland-not-at-the-Beach," a half-museum, half-play area for kids of all ages. "Playland-not-at-the- Beach," has over 20 interactive exhibits that celebrate the magic and history of America's bygone amusements, circuses, carnivals, magic, sides shows, penny arcades, amusement devices, pinball arcades, haunted houses, and beautiful art work. The museum includes antiques and artifacts from the Sutro Baths, Whitney's Playland, Coney Island, Riverview, along with plenty of games and adventures. Come and share your memories of this great old San Francisco amusement park. The $10 admission covers all costs including the numerous pinball and skiball machines. Playland's philosophy is assuring that kids of all ages have fun. The club was particularly moved when Richard told about a young girl suffering from leukemia who won a doll taller than she. after successfully knocking down a series of targets. INSTALLATION Saturday, will be the joint Albany, El Cerrito, and West Berkeley Installation at at Spenger's Fish Grotto Restaurant in Berkeley. and make their reservation no later than June 24th. Come support our new old President, Ray Anderson, as he is sworn in for another term. That's right he is going to keep repeating his term until he gets it right! BUSY LION HEARD FROM Lion Bill Brittan stopped by the other night when he was in town. Bill reports he is busy working for the Alameda Newspaper Group and currently living in Sunnyvale. Lion Bill says he has missed the friendship, raucous good times, and the joy of serving others with our great group of guys and gals. He asks that your editor convey greetings and good wishes to all of the membership. 4TH of JULY Lion Harry Schreyvogel reports that all things are "GO" for a successful event.
