YEAR IN REVIEW
 |
| The Montage Holiday Tree 2016 |
Oh, what a year it has been!
The LBPC held many events throughout 2016. Most notably were the Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Alta Park, the Gala and Silent Auction at Moulin, the Family Olympics at Moulton Meadows, Oktoberfest at the Woman’s Club, the 5th Annual Halloween Walk on Forest, and Mom’s Holiday Night at the Montage. Of course, those events draw many people. But, some of the smaller, fantastic events included our New Year’s Meeting Extravaganza at the Spice Merchants, celebrating Earth Day in the South Laguna Garden, several Mom’s Nights out and Strong(her) Workshops, the Sawdust Tree craft at Bluebird, as well as our Speaker Series and Baby Sign Classes.
Aside from just being a non-profit that provides events and resources for families in town, we are a charitable organization that donates to other amazing local causes. We’re so proud to have made and delivered Valentine’s Day cards for the residents of the Glennwood House, raised over $4,000 for the Laguna Beach Youth Shelter, provided trunk loads of cereal boxes for the Laguna Food Pantry, collected bags upon bags of Halloween candy for our friends at Oak and Brooks streets, delivered pet food and supplies for the Pet Rescue Center, gathered leftover Halloween candy and made cards for our Military serving overseas with Operation Gratitude, and donated 169 wrapped toys to the Laguna Food Pantry for children receiving meals during the holidays. It feels great to be a part of a group that so happily gives back to the community. Thank you, LBPC, for your generosity this year.
For those who came out to volunteer throughout the year, the club owes you a giant “Thank You!” We couldn’t have done it without your help. It’s the great volunteers who have helped to make us the “Best Moms and Dads Group” in Southern California in 2016. Kristin and I were overwhelmed by your support and we look forward to another incredible year in 2017!
Wishing you peace, health, and an abundance of happiness in 2017. Happy (almost) New Year, LBPC!

DECEMBER EVENTS
Mom’s Holiday Night at the Montage
What an amazing turnout we had for the Mom’s Holiday Night this year! Close to 40 women stepped out in their holiday finest to join us at the Montage. We sipped fancy french bubbly and laughed merrily in the lobby bar. Spirits were high as we began the festive season. And, to top the night, we took a fun group shot in front of the Jimmy Choo shoe tree. Thank you to everyone who attended our final event of the year!

LBPC Small Toy Drive
There isn’t much more to say other than “Wow!” As a club, we donated 169 toys to children visiting the Laguna Food Pantry over the holidays. Our goal was to provide the Pantry with 150 toys, which means that 19 more children received toys this holiday. I hope you feel as proud as I do!
