I’ve been coming across references to We Love Long Beach all over the place and tomorrow at last I’ll get up close and personal with this funky, spunky little group of individuals at its Spring 2009 BBQ cosponsored with 3rd District Council Member Gary DeLong. From 1 to 5 pm at Marine Stadium Park (just down the hill from my humble abode), the local firefighters and women’s roller derby (!) will be flipping free hamburgers, and if that’s not enough, there’ll be music, art, activities for the kids and a huge raffle.
WLLB’s stated purpose is to know and serve the people, the neighborhoods, and the city of Long Beach. What better way to warm the body and soul than by sharing a burger on a sunny day? The group was founded in 2008 by a brother and sister, Scott and Robin Jones, fourth generation Long Beachers. They’ve sponsored monthly breakfasts and a couple of picnics to promote neighborly sharing, caring, and community building from the ground up. With any luck, I’ll have more to report tomorrow on this pragmatic approach to idealism.
