April Wayland moved from SF to southern California some 20 years ago and missed SFFMC so much she started the Santa Monica Folk Club which is still going strong. Meantime she has published several acclaimed books and tapes for children. Her latest, "It's Not MY Turn to Look for Grandma" containing this and several other stories has received the National Parenting Publications Gold Award.
Gary Wayland, husband of April, does the Federal 501(c)3 taxes and reports for the Santa Monica Club and has volunteered to do the same, free of charge, for SFFMC. This is indeed help far beyond the call of duty!!!
