I suppose we should be thankful for the little bit of rain we received last week, but I'm not afraid to admit that I'm greedy and want MORE! Fingers crossed.
Our Easter Egg Hunt this year was a great success thanks to all of our amazing members that came out and participated...I think it might be our biggest turn out yet in at least the 3 years I've been attending. A special thanks to all of our volunteers that made the event possible...it takes a village to raise our families but for these larger LBPC events it takes an army to get them off the ground. Congratulations to those on the planning committee who made the event such a joy. Photos from the event are below.
We had an amazing group of ladies at our early Mom's Day celebration while we got Artful on the Montage lawn. We painted a landscape photo of the beautiful Laguna Beach coast line with some much needed help from Cat Wilder. Sadly, the event also served as a farewell to our lovely Rebecca Faubion. She will be missed. Photos below.
RSVP NOW for our Annual Parents Night Out. May 16th, 4pm at Mozambique...more details below.

Upcoming Events
Parent's Night Out :
When: Sat May 16, 2015, 4–6:30 pm
Where: Mozambique
1740 S Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA 92651
Join us at Mozambique for this year's Parents' Night Out!
This year we will be congregating at Mozambique for Parents' Night Out. The second floor bar will be ours from 4:00 - 6:30 where we can enjoy appetizers and drinks on The Laguna Beach Parent's Club.*
We're starting the party early with hopes that you start with us, have a few drinks, make some friends (or catch up with old ones) and then group up and continue the party into the night (Who has the "Dirty Bird" already on their radar? Ha!) You'll already have a baby sitter so why not have the sitter do all the hard work for you...dinner, bedtime, etc. By the time you get home, the kids will be fed and in bed and you'll have caught up with friends, made new friends, or maybe just even got some good quality time in with your spouse or partner.
Save the date and book your sitter now. You do not want to miss out.
Click here to RSVP. RSVP's due by May 11th.
*Note: arrive on time to get your drink on...once the club reaches it's budget, it will switch to a cash bar.
