Angels Camp, CA...Back in September of 2013 a big rig struck the neon marquee on the historic art deco gem that is our Angels Six Theatres. The anchor business in downtown Angels is now back to pristine condition. On behalf of many of us in the community we would like to thank them for preserving this wonderful piece of living history in downtown Angels. They have spent thousands upon thousands over the years to keep the neon glowing. If you haven't visited them they also offer the best movie going experience around....

Young Computer Builder Raises Money for Mind Matters |
|
Posted by: Andy_Johnson on 04/24/2014 11:51 AM
|
Angels Camp, CA ... A hand-made computer, created by Nicholas Tribble, 18, a senior at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, has resulted in a $2,000 gift to Mind Matters, the Murphys based clinic that treats autism and related disorders. When faced with the need to select a senior project, Tribble decided to use his interest in computers to create a unit from scratch and house it in a custom crafted case. To finance his project he created a raffle in which the winner would be given the computer, his expenses would be met, and the remainder of the money donated to Mind Matters. At ten dollars a chance, he was able to raise more than $3,200. The lucky winner is Judy Matson, Director of Music Ministries at Foothill Community Church, which Tribble and his family attend. Matson plans on using the computer at the church, replacing a very old model she had in her office. She will receive her unit after April 28, the day the students must present their projects to the school and the general public. “We are very proud of Nicholas and his accomplishments,” says Dr. Ryan Thompson, the founder of Mind Matters and its current Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director. “We will put his generous donation to good use in our Fast ForWord program, a computer centered learning lab.”
