Concerts In The Park - We put on 2 free concerts in our local park in August attended by over 1,000 people. The social interaction of the entire neighborhood is critical for maintaining the strong sense of community we have. 0 5500 Furry Friends Faire - We put on a dog and cat "Faire" in our local park to increase civic/community interactions. The Faire included dog agility skills demos, free dog & cat vaccinations and chips, dog & cat adoptions, the mobile Aquarium Exhibit and an opportunity to present general community information. About 400 people attended this free event. 0 1275 Holiday Lights Contest - Our Holiday Lights Contest is a friendly competition and rating of the Christmas/Holiday Lights put up by neighbors. Nominations were made by the neighbors and the LCNA Board Members rated the displays, resulting in the winners. The winners received plaques and yard signs. Activities such as these are critical for maintaining the strong sense of community we have. 0 223 3 Mile Fun Run - We staged a 3 mile fun run to raise civic awareness of some of the beautiful places in our area, especially the Dominguez Gap (wildlife preserve), which was a part of the course. About 80 runners paid a entry fee to run, with 15 volunteers working the event. A sponsor directly paid most of the cost - T-Shirts. 0 474 Los Cerritos / Bixby Knolls Clean Streets - Our Los Cerritos / Bixby Knolls Clean Streets Committee hosts a weekly trash pickup in rotating locations of our neighborhood. This activity promotes civic pride in our neighborhood. 0 252 Candidate Debate For City Election - The LCNA partnered with 2 other neighborhood associations and hosted a candidate debate for the City of Long Beach City Council District 5, General Election. The debate was moderated by the LCNA President. This type of civic engagement is critical to our mission of Civic Awareness. The debate was attended by about 100 persons live, plus 100 persons watching live via Zoom. Hundreds of people later watched the Zoom recordings online. The LCNA paid 1/3 of the costs. 0 55 Pumpkin Decorating Contest - Our annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest is a kids-focused event. Parents and children bring their "already decorated" pumpkins to be judged within several age bands. The pumpkins are ranked and prizes awarded. There are also games and coloring books for the kids to do while awaiting the judging. About 25 kids participated. Some of the prizes were bought directly by volunteers. Activities such as these are critical for maintaining the strong sense of community we have. 0 68 Tree Watering - There are over 100 trees planted in sidewalk cutouts and street medians in our area that do not have a water supply. Volunteers use a 210 gallon water tank loaded on a pickup truck bed to drive around and water these city trees during hot and dry periods. We also participated in an adjacent neighborhood's event. The Recycled Water we use is from a meter the city allows the LCNA to have for free, though the association has to pay for the water and any other supplies needed. This activity adds to the civic pride in our neighborhood. 0 54 7901 Robert Gill President 3 0 0 0 Jeanne Williams Vice President 3 0 0 0 Leslie Garretson Treasurer 3 0 0 0 Gary Hamrick Secretary 3 0 0 0 Joseph Hower Parliamentarian 3 0 0 0 Richard Ivey Board Member At-Large 3 0 0 0 LaVonne Miller Board Member At-Large 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Robert Gill 3828 Pine Avenue Long Beach CA 90807 5625463216 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 2432 2682 4546 6548 9657 25865 7123 0 4344 7712 2950 22129 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9555 2682 8890 14260 12607 47994 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47994 3 2 1 1 17 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 2 1 1 17 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9558 2684 8891 14261 12624 48018 0.99950 0.99986 0.00050 0.00014 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Insurance Premiums for GL Directors Volunteers;2586|Clean Streets bags and tools;252|Former Fire Station 9 historical landmark application;1523|Debate Expenses;55|Holiday Caroling;590|Holiday Lights;223|Pumpkin Contest;69|Tree Watering;55|Other Expenses;461^Total;5814^
