The Junior League of Long Beach (JLLB) will host two new-member mixers, one this month and another in January.
The purpose of the mixers is to provide information for “women of all ages who want to make a difference in their community through interesting volunteer projects, as well as receive invaluable leadership opportunities and training,” according to a press release from JLLB, which is a women’s volunteer and training organization dedicated to serving children and their families.
While JLLB has a variety of community programs, the organization is currently focusing on adolescent self-esteem with an emphasis on combating bullying through character development and life skills, according to the organization.
Other projects include providing nutritional information and educational fun at the annual Kids in the Kitchen event, hosting literacy nights and book give-aways at local schools, providing comfort bags for young crime victims and holding self-esteem seminars for pre-teen girls. In addition, members receive hands-on training in a variety of areas, including group leadership, volunteer leadership, event planning and public speaking among others.
Attire for the mixers is business casual. Light refreshments will be served.
The first mixer will be on Wednesday, Dec. 18 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at La Palapa del Mar restaurant by the Belmont Plaza Pool, 4020 Olympic Plaza, in Belmont Shore. The second will be on Wednesday, Jan. 8 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Lola’s Mexican Cuisine, 2030 E. 4th St.
