Beach Cities Activities for February 2012

Redondo Beach, California

Things to Do in the Beach Cities

The Beach Cities give a great place to run & raise money for worthy causes at the same time. Thanks to Jackie Balestra, we don't have to miss a thing!

This Sunday, February 12th marks the return - after a two year hiatus - of the 58th Annual John Hales Sand & Strand Run in Hermosa Beach. Proceeds will benefit Project Touch, a non-profit organization working with at-risk teens in the South Bay. There are four separate races scheduled with the event getting under way at 8:00 am at the Hermosa Beach Pier. Event registration is available on-line at www.active.com.

Also this Sunday, Adia Cares hosts the symposium, Beginning the Conversation. This is a free community event where you will learn how to begin the discussion about planning for the care of an older loved one. Join industry experts to discover effective tools, techniques and the variety of resources available within your community. The symposium takes place at the Journey of Faith Church located at 1243 Artesia Boulevard in Manhattan Beach from 12:00 to 2:00 pm. For more information, call 310-370-0555.

Don’t forget, Triton Mixed Martial Arts Center offers a free Women’s Self Defense Class every Monday morning at their training facility in Gold’s Gym on Harbor Drive. This very valuable service is available free for women of every age and you don’t have to be a member of Gold’s or Triton to participate. Just check in at the front desk.

As always, check the calendar links and ‘Things to Do’ page on my website, www.southbaybyjackie.com, for details on these and other events throughout the South Bay.

On the show this morning, we discussed how to take advantage of the many different recreational opportunities in the South Bay while supporting local businesses. Don’t worry, if you missed it, you can listen to it here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/joeterry/2012/02/09/the-south-bay-small-business-hour.

This weekend will be a little cooler, but today is AWESOME! Hope you can get out and enjoy the sunshine!
