December's Dinner Party @ La Strada on Second Street

Looks like fun!


What is the "Dinner Party"?

The Dinner Party is a once a month event put on by We Love Long Beach. The two main goals behind the event are to get neighbors together over a good meal and to get to know each other better, and to support new and established restaurants in the city through a wonderful dining experience. We see it as a win-win for all!

We Love Long Beach:::Book for August

Richard's choice:::American Pastoral::: by Phillip Roth

Book info:" This novel examines the rise and fall of a man with a life that all his acquaintances thought was blessed--a star athlete and war hero, who goes on successfully to run his father's glove factory. A non-religious Jew, he marries a pretty Catholic girl (the former Miss New Jersey!), lives in a nice house, and has a pretty daughter, Merry--slips comfortably, in other words, into mainstream America.

The date for our next meeting is Monday, August 25th from 7-9pm.
Meeting place: Aroma Di Roma, 5327 E. 2nd Street, Long Beach, CA 90803

The Burrito Project is here again...

Burrito Project (sometimes known as the burrito brigade) is a group of people who have a heart for meeting the basic needs of the homeless in our city. Each Thursday, we meet at 6:30pm to cook and wrap approximately 40-50 burritos. After we have packed away a water bottle for each burrito, we ride together on our bikes towards downtown and we hand them out to the homeless.
"It is the many conversations, and the building of relationships with the homeless and with each other that has made this weekly ride special."

If you are interested in being a part of the Burrito Project, we meet each Thursday night at:

269 Obispo Ave (in the backhouse)
Long Beach, CA 90803
We meet at 6:30pm and make the burritos.

If you can only make it for the ride, we leave around 8:00pm on our bikes.

If you are interested show up or you can email us: welovelb@gmail.com

The Book Club is Growing

The Belmont Shore book club was Into the Wild this week, doubling our numbers from last month. Thank you for coming... Sean Penn would be pleased!!! He said that he was going to come but was held up in traffic. I think I would rather hang out with his brother Chris though. Does anyone else agree? I think that Cyrus already talked with him :) Come out and Plaaaayyyyy... We are looking at two sites in order to keep our talks more intimate...
Hope to see you next month!

Book Club this Monday!!!! Excitement...

Welovel0ngbeach Book of the Month: Into the Wild by Jack Krakauer


What would possess a gifted young man recently graduated from college to literally walk away from his life? Noted outdoor writer and mountaineer Jon Krakauer tackles that question in his reporting on Chris McCandless, whose emaciated body was found in an abandoned bus in the Alaskan wilderness in 1992.


The date for our next meeting is Monday, April 28th from 7-9pm.
Meeting place: Aroma Di Roma, 5327 E. 2nd Street, Long Beach, CA 90803
