Gratitude for our Community: Saturday Gathering

Friends,

The past weeks have been a trying time for our community of Monte Nido and for so many across LA County in the wake of the tragedy of the Palisades Fire. Since the end of the evacuation orders, many of you have expressed gratitude in reconnecting with each other, returning to our homes, and reuniting with our community.  With regularity we seek each other’s company as a community, whether in celebration of the Fourth of July, for a bit of square dancing or simply opening our homes to share our artistic endeavors with an art walk. It is in this spirit that a special community event is being organized.

Please join your friends and neighbors this Saturday, January 25th at Noon at Fleeman’s Meadow for a potluck-style community gathering to Share Gratitude and create an opportunity to connect and to take a moment to celebrate and thank some of the firefighters and first responders who were so critical to protecting our mountain nest.

Neighbors have volunteered to grill tri-tips, chicken, brisket and we invite you to bring anything else you want to throw on the grill; any sides, fixin’s, salads, desserts, or simply your preferred food.

We’ve invited the crew at Local 67 and some of the out-of-town firefighters that were also stationed here in Monte Nido to join us. The weather looks to be cool but dry.  Tables and chairs will be limited so feel free to bring a picnic blanket.

Hope to see you there!
