Duck Derby to Benefit Pass Boys & Girls Clubs

The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday at Casino Morongo.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the San Gorgonio Pass is holding its 3rd Annual "Quickest Quacker" Duck Derby at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa on Monday.

"This 3rd Annual event proves to be three times the fun as we have set our goal to sell three ties as many ducks and have three times as many guests," said Amy Herr, of the Pass Boys & Girls Clubs, in a press release.


The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at the casino's "Lazy River."

Tickets are $50 and include admission, a light dinner and one duck to race.

Those unable to attend may purchase ducks for $5 a piece, since people don't have to present in order to win. Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers.

Proceeds from the event will help provide enriching programs, academic support and mentoring to more than 700 Pass area children who benefit from the club, according to organizers.

For information, call 951-922-3259.

Join us for the March! We will have picket signs that clearly state our different perspectives. WeRead More will have brochures that explain the cause. Distributing fliers before the march is a HUGE part of this. Please tell your neighbors about this... www.march-against-monsanto.com

Thanks for sharing, Tina!

I personally don't have too much control over the way the site looks and functions, since it's partRead More of Patch overall. However, I am forwarding all your suggestions on to our design team and appreciate all the feedback-- positive and negative! And Jeremiah, I've asked around about the FB commenting thing some more, and there really are no plans to do away with our Patch logins. The FB comments are just meant to be a "plus" for those who want them... and others don't have to touch :)

100% agree with that! Plus I liked the way that in the old one you could reply to an individualRead More comment. This one only lets you post at the end of the thread. Pretty sure she has started using the Facebook comments program, which by itself will keep me from posting. If the old one doesn't come back I will most likely be saying sayonara. I pretty much like everything else, but this was the real draw of the Patch and it's strong point - especially during the fire. Advertisement pane is about 10% too large as well and should be on the other side of the page to look right. Renee is trying though, which is appreciated. I just hope she listens about the comments section. Jeremiah

Change is always a little hard to accept, but I have to agree with Gary. I really don't see anyRead More benefit on my end other than to make the pages look more updated. Everything is harder to find, I'm spending much more time mousing all over the page trying to find past blogs, and have discovered numerous things that just aren't working properly. These last things will probably get ironed out as they go along, but why would you roll out an upgrade when it's not ready for prime time? As an IT Professional, all that does is irritate and alienate your users. And no one has commented on the slowness, or speed lags in the page load process. I work on hundreds of different workstations all over the area, and the Patch is notably slower to load on a huge percentage of the machines. Frankly, I would prefer a "basic" Patch without all the flashy stuff and less advertising. This would make the pages easier to host, less costly, easier to navigate, and a quicker more enjoyable experience for all. "More" is not always better.

@Washy-- you beat me to it! I was about to tell you what to do :) Glad you found the settings

I am not impressed with the new Patch. I am no longer able to copy my content from another wordRead More processor and keep the formatting. The links appear to run over into the next column. I don't like the fact that the old comments are not attached to the old posts. I am considering only posting on my personal blog and maybe just post the link here on the patch...Not happy.
