Seven Samurai
In the chaos of 16th century Japan, when even samurai go hungry and bandits live as lords, a war-torn peasant village dares to hire masterless ronin to protect their land. From this simple plot, Kurosawa weaves an engrossing epic that straddles edge-of-your-seat action and the full range of human emotion. To put it another way, this one’s got it all.

LPL'S WEB SITE FOCUS - Junior Women's Club of Lakewood

In 1962 the Junior Women's Club of Lakewood was formed by a group of young women interested in "serving their community and stimulating their minds while enjoying a program geared toward fun and friendship." The purpose of the club has not changed. It is a philanthropic organization that sponsors one major fundraiser a year with proceeds going to predetermined organizations in Lakewood.
