Ribbon cutting, NNO, Golf and Bingo

Plenty to keep us busy in the Crescenta Valley.

Please join us on Thursday, Aug. 2 at the ribbon cutting for Mook Apparel & Goddess Design, located at 3800 Foothill Blvd. in La Crescenta. Mook Apparel is a one-stop shopping source for screen printing, embroidery, and fun items for that special thank you. The ribbon cutting/open house will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Don’t forget our scholarship golf tournament on Saturday, Aug. 4. We’ll get you out on the fairway (grass) by 8 a.m. to enjoy some early morning fun, serve lunch, give away some great prizes and you’ll be on your way home, or somewhere, by noon.  If you’re lucky and get an eagle on this par three golf course, you best hope it is on the $5,000 hole.

Individual players are welcome.

National Night Out – “America’s Night Out Against Crime” – will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 7 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. National Night Out is meant to heighten awareness of crime and drug prevention. For La Crescenta, the Crescenta Valley sheriffs will have booths set up in the parking lot of Ralphs Market in the 2600 block of Foothill Boulevard. Numerous homes in Glendale will have block parties, sending a message that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. For more information on these events, call Deputy Valdivia at (818) 248-3464 (the sheriff’s station) or for north Glendale (Glendale police), call Officer Zakarian at (818) 249-8173.
