Coming up at the H. Lee House....

Please join us as we hear Helen (McCormick) Hobbs-Halmay, Past President of the Lemon Grove Historical Society, Senior Emerita of Adelante, (newsletter of the Congress of History of San Diego Imperial Counties) and Soroptimist International of Lemon Grove member as she sure shares her research on "The Lion at the End of the Street."

Helen grew up in a Lemon Grove neighborhood where there was rumored to be a pet lion. It is the basis for an amazing factual historical mystery about Lemon Grove in the early 1930s and her search for answers.

Helen's search includes the famous Ringling brother circus World War I, the founding years of the San Diego zoo and the Hearst Castle.

Come meet the author. The story is fascinating and we are not LION!
