Field trip this Sunday!

Hi Folks!
We had a very successful Urban Paradise meeting last Sunday thanks to everyone that showed up. Lots of exciting ideas were flying across the circle and the project seems to be taking off in a great direction. As you'll see in the notes below we have a meeting with the LB water department to move towards a positive relationship with the city.

This Sunday Meeting January 11^th
Field trip, picnic, and working on the Plot!

12pm-Meet at the plot on Ocean and Pacific. At 12:15 we'll be carpooling to a beach in San Pedro (right below the Donald Trump Golf Course). We'll be collecting rocks for our plot and checking out the Native Plant restoration project they have there.

2:00pm-Carry our heavy load up the cliff and enjoy a vegetarian potluck picnic overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

2:30pm-Leave San Pedro and head over to the plot to start gardening at 3pm

3:00-5pm-Meet at the plot on Ocean and Pacific to do some gardening, maintenance, and rock designs!

What to bring:
-Something vegetarian to share for a picnic pot luck
- Gardening gloves if you don't wanna get your hands dirty
-A rock you may have you want to add to the garden!

Please RSVP if you need a ride to San Pedro, can offer seats in your car, or have any questions. If you plan on leaving your car downtown, probably best to park in the civic center parking structure on the other side of the Library. If you can't make it to the field trip but still want to come help at 3pm at the plot no problem...see you there!
