PROGRAM: Program
Chairman Terry Bose introduced speaker Lisa Lynn, Supervisor of the HB
Department of Community Resources.
Lisa explained her Department by having us visualize Hermosa Beach
without them: No Valley Par=
k, no
Green Belt, no Strand, no Clark Field, no classes at the Community Center=
, no
Tennis Courts, no swing sets on the beach, etc. The facilities and progra=
ms
run by the Dept. of Community Resources provide lots of benefits. They provide balance in your lif=
e with
great leisure activities to complement your home and work life. Their programs provide an identi=
ty
with your community. They b=
uild a
spirit of togetherness in a time when so many leisure activities are done=
in
isolation. The concerts at =
the
beach which are loved by all ages are a great example. They provide cultural and histor=
ical
benefits such as the use of the Community Center. They promote physical activity a=
nd
socializing which are good for your physical and mental health. She noted that volunteer activit=
ies
can increase your life expectancy.
The City’s population of children is increasing rapidly. Many recreational activities for=
kids
tend to be sedentary and isolating.
Their programs for kids and teens provide fun, socialization, free=
dom,
physical activity. The kids
especially like the unstructured (although supervised) activities like
walking the green belt and playing tag.&=
nbsp;
She passed out the Fall Schedule of Events for her department. For more information, see =

brochure, call 318-0280, or see the website at www.hermosabch.org=
