Things seem to be clicking for Larry Diou, 86, of Shady Woods in Delray Beach.

A relatively new member of the Delray Camera Club, he won second place in “Vibrant Delray,” the club’s annual members’ showcase.

When Austin Gossett-Seidman, 11, of Boca Raton, needed money to help needy children a world away, he went cushion diving in his living room and turned up $90.

“They raided our whole house. If every family did that, you can come up with some pretty decent money,” said Austin’s mom, Peggy Gossett-Seidman, public relations director of Unity School in Delray Beach and mother to three students participating in the special project.

The school packed up two crates, big enough to fit three SUVs, with 10,000 pounds of humanitarian aid for children in Ghana, in West Africa.
