PCSC September 18, 2020 Meeting CANCELLED New color-coded state rules prohibit or severely restrict PURPLE counties from having numerous INDOOR activities. LA County is coded PURPLE. At the time of publication, PCSC has not heard from the Downey Woman’s Center whether, or to what extent, PCSC can meet at its facility. President Joe Chmiel has, therefore, cancelled the meeting in the absence of a clarification.

IN MEMORIAM President Joe Chmiel was contacted by member Debbie Hirlinger with sad news regarding her husband, Don Hirlinger PCSC member #3062. Her message reads: I wanted to let the club know that Don Hirlinger member #3062 has passed away in July 2020. I will still keep up my membership with the club and am looking forward to an outing (someday). We have been members for many years.... Thanks for all you do for the club. Debbie Hirlinger" [From PCSC's Editor, Martin Milas, on behalf of PSCS] "It is with sadness that PCSC acknowledges the loss of Don Hirlinger a longtime member and supporter of our special circle of prospecting family and friends. Please accept our condolences, Debbie, and thank you for keeping up your membership. May Don rest in peace."
