Likes our Dino and Mr. Desi Arnaz Sr. and Miss Lucille Ball headlined a charity gig back in the later '50's (1958ish) that took place at Mr. Arnaz's new Western Hills Hotel that raised $18 thou toward the goal of buildin' a new club house for the Boy's (now Boy's and Girl's) Club of Palm Springs. Today that $18 thou would translate into a whoppin' $157,228.44 bein' raised. Wishes we have more Dino-details on the this cool charity event, but we deeply delight in bein' able to share 'nother example of our Dino's generosity of givin' time, talent, and resources to help others.
We searched for a possible pix of our Dino with Mr. Arnaz and Miss Ball to no avail, but we did find a swank shot of our Dino with Miss Ball from one of the TV gigs they did together. We thanks Miss Andrea Madrigal and Miss Renee Brown for scribin' this prose for "The Desert Sun" and for helpin' further educate all of us Dino-holics as we seek to grow deeper and deeper in Dino! To checks this out in it's original and to read it in total, simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram.
We Remain,
Yours In Dino,
Dino Martin Peters
