The Halloween Walk continues to be the most well-attended event we do each year and this year was no exception. Thank you to all that participated. An equally big thank you to Zpizza for their generous donation and to the Presbyterian Church for once again allowing us to keep the party going. And, of course, not to be missed, our organizers - thank you, thank you, thank you.
October also marked our 2nd Artful Mom's Night Out hosted by club member and sponsor Rebecca Faubion of Artful Everyday and our sponsor The Spice Merchants.

Don't forget to check out our new forum - Around Town and Beyond? The goal of the forum is to create an easy go-to area where you can find out what's going on around town and beyond and also post great events you've found. Check it out and post to it. We think it will be a available resource as posting catches on. Check out November events here.
Check out some of our volunteer opportunities:
- 2014 Playgroup Coordinator
- 2013 Playgroup Coordinator
- Calendar Coordinator
- Newsletter Coordinator
Some of those holding these positions are busy caring for new babies or soon will be and we REALLY would like to keep these programs alive. For other positions, it is just time for the torch to be passed.
Scroll down to see our many other upcoming events as well as pictures from our recent events and volunteer opportunities.Exciting things are going on at the LBPC and we're so happy you're a part of it.

The Fun Times We've Had Over the Last Month:
An Artful Mom's Night Out SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Sold out again! Can you believe it? This event is such a hit. Thank you to Spice Merchants and Rebecca Faubion of Artful Everyday for again hosting us. The Moms of Laguna Beach Parents Club grabbed their smocks and a paint brush and began making the most beautiful creations on canvas. So proud of all our mamas that attended and tried something new. Here's some photos of the fun:
Annual Halloween Walk 2014
Leading the parade this year was Sammy the Seal of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center and McGuff the Crime Dog from LB Police Department. How fun! Our 2014 playgroup then picked up the lead with their baby cuteness and carried the parade down Forest Ave. The parade continued onto the Presbyterian Church parking lot where the kids munched on goodies donated by Walmart and pizza donated by Z Pizza. We are fortunate to live in a community where the local stores contribute to the local community. The festivities continue in a Tommy Benson-led dance party! The kids boogied down and the adult all had smiles on their faces. A big, heartfelt thank you to all the folks that helped organize this event and make it come together the day of - it takes a village and we are so fortunate that this is our village.

Our parents club is 100% run by volunteers. It takes a lot of people to pull off our events, manage the calendar, monitor the website and keep everyone happy! Please join us at our monthly meetings to help keep with wonderful community organization thriving.
We VERY MUCH need help with the following:
- 2014 Playgroup Coordinator - If you have a 2014 kiddo and would like to coordinate please contact jenniferleonti@gmail.com. This is a great way to meet other moms and give back to this wonderful network.
- 2013 Playgroup Coordinator - If you have a 2013 kiddo and would like to coordinate please contact crcaligurl@gmail.com. This is a great way to meet other moms and give back to this wonderful network.
- Calendar Coordinator - We are looking to fill the position of calendar coordinator. This person will help keep the club members in "the know" about events going on in our community by posting their findings on our bigtent calendar. Huge thanks to the newly prego mama that has been carrying this torch!
- Newsletter Coordinator- Looking to flex your writing skills instead of your coloring skills? Here's your opportunity.
Thank you to those folks who have recently stepped up to continue to make this club go 'round.
