Bill & Laura Bartels speak to Lions
By Anonymous — Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Bill and Laura Bartels (pictured above with Lion’s President Bill Dewey) were the guests of the Fillmore Lion’s Club February 21. Bill spoke about the Fillmore & Western Railroad, and specifically about the restoration of the 1913 Baldwin Steam Locomotive #14. He also talked a little about his family history in Fillmore and about RailFest, coming up at the end of March. Laura told the group about how successful the Santa Clara Valley Legal Aid’s fourth annual Winter Coat Drive. The project started five years ago, when she was helping with the local toy drive and observed that hardly any of the children had coats. This year they handed out 1,000 coats to needy children.
