P. Rudy this month Scera has been coined from the abbreviation of Sharon's Cooperative Educational Recreational Re-creational Association. The word Sharon was chosen because be-cause it was particularly fit- L ting to this territory. Ii's ear ly Assyrian meaning was a 'plain of fertility and beauty'. The territory scope of Scera also included more than the city of Orem. It includes Ed- gemont, Pleasant View, Lake View and Vineyard. Is Scera a cooperative? No. Scera is not a cooper ative in the true sense of the word. There are no patron age dividends, or refunds given to any members. All pro.its must go for improve ment of recreational and educational ed-ucational facilities in the community. It is cooperative in the sense only that it is the united effort of all the people of the community to create finer and bettei recreational re-creational facilities. |
