The Twentynine Palms Aglow Community Lighthouse held its May 8 meeting in celebration of Mother’s Day and the 96th birthday of long-time Twentynine Palms resident and Aglow member Martha Edwards. Edwards became a member of Aglow in 1978 and served 11 years as president of the Twentynine Palms Lighthouse. She remains active in the organization and currently serves as an advisor. Martha is a retired educator and loves to read and tell jokes. In addition to honoring Martha, the lighthouse held a contest in which she was the winner of the “prettiest” hat.
