It’s unbelievable to think many of our local public schools are back in session this mid-August! That means increased traffic around schools during drop off and pick up times, so drivers: be cautious! Give yourself some extra time when traveling so you won’t get uptight when coming across these delays.

The Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce will be saying goodbye to summer (and increased temperatures) with a couple of upcoming mixers. On Aug. 13, this paper – the Crescenta Valley Weekly – is hosting a business mixer outside its business offices at 3800 La Crescenta Ave. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., plan to come and get to know some local business people.

In October, our friends at Restokleen are hosting a business mixer at their fabulous offices at 3600 Foothill Blvd. Glendale/La Crescenta. Plan now to come and meet the folks at Restokleen.

Mixers are a great way to acquaint yourself in a relaxed setting with our local residents and businesses. Calendar the Aug. 13 event and plan to attend the October mixer (date to be confirmed). The cost to attend is $15 for members, $20 for non-members. You’ll enjoy an evening of good food, beverages and fun.
