We attended this dinner party put on by the "Progressives" at our neighbor's Gary and Dennis' across the street from us. The Progressives hold these dinner party/fundraisers about every other month to raise funds for worthy cause each time.
This party was for Long Beach Organic's Youth Program, called Youth Environmental Leaders (YEL) Dinner was courtesy of: Chef Joe Corso/Tapenade Catering and Chef Paul Buchanan/Primal Alchemy Catering (two Long Beach Organic chefs/gardeners!) The minimum donation requested was $35 per person. The meal was delicious, the backyard was simply packed with people and a lot of funds were raised for a worthy cause.
The YEL Team supports Long Beach Organic's mission through service-learning projects and hands-on training at the community gardens and at environmental project partnership events (i.e., tree plantings and native plant enhancement and restoration projects). In the last two years, YEL Team kids have contributed over 7,000 eco-service hours to the organic gardens, to three native plant gardens, and to restorations at Dunster Park, Sims Park, Marine Stadium and White’s Landing. YEL kids also coordinated and planted 12 community tree plantings at the LA River, five Long Beach neighborhoods, and two schools.
