This is News from the family of Willie and Helen Lake of the DC Chapter, Washington, DC. Willie is the son of the late Lossie Mae Lake who was the first Treasurer of the WLH Washington, DC Chapter:

Willie Lake, Sr., received a beautiful blue and gold trophy from the S.M.A.C.V.A. Car Show this spring when he entered his 1956 Plymouth Belvedere in their car show.

Helen Lake is spending her spare time learning and speaking French in the ministry work. She is actively engaged in this new endeavor by working with persons whose native language is French. Bonjour. Bonne journée.

Willie Lake, Jr., our son, received a Safety Award for Outstanding Safe performance of Bus Maintenance for the past three consecutive years, at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

Malik Johnson, our grandson, enjoyed working as a junior counselor again this summer for Watkins Day Camp. He bought himself a beautiful black mini-Suzuki motorcycle with one of his pay checks.

He says the bike is up for sale now at a bargain price of $300 – 400. Anyone interested? Contact his mom, Karen Lake (our daughter) if so. (See bike below):
