Residents of the downtown area and others are invited to the April meeting of the Downtown Residential Council, Monday, April 18 from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Parker's Lighthouse, 435 Shoreline Village Dr.
The guest speakers for the event will be Kris Larson, vice president of the Downtown Long Beach Associates, Joen Garnica, DRC representative to the DLBA Marketing and Special Events Taskforce, and Michael Mosselli, President of the East Village Association.
This is what the DRC says about itself and its first such meeting:
"The Downtown Residential Council is comprised of resident leaders from the six Downtown neighborhood associations: Promenade Area Residents Association, Ocean Residents Community Association, North Pine Neighborhood Alliance, West End Community Association, Willmore City Heritage Association, and East Village Association.
"The DRC consists of residents from across the Downtown and represents a diverse set of interests and perspectives, but we all share a genuine and passionate desire to continuously enhance Downtown, and the experience of living here" said Michael Vanderbeek, DRC President.
"We (the newly elected DRC Executive Committee) are very excited to hold our first Downtown Residential Council forum because we want to showcase some of the exciting things the Downtown community is doing" added Eric Gray, DRC Secretary.
Founded in 2009 by former President Neysa Colizzi, the DRC represents Downtown Long Beach residents living in the area loosely bound to the south by the ocean, to the north by Anaheim Street, to the west by the I-710 freeway, and to the east by Alamitos Avenue. The DRC serves as a forum for neighborhood associations to join together to discuss common issues of concern and work together for the benefit of all Downtown residents by making Downtown Long Beach a better place to live, work and play.
