Here's a last minute notice for a fundraiser to go to the 4th of July Fireworks show at Lincoln Park for July 2011. It's a Spaghetti Dinner with tickets priced at $5 each, and this still is a bargain item that includes garlic bread, salad, and beverage. Sponsored by the Lincoln Heights Chamber of Commerce and the City Dept. of Recreation and Parks.
This is all happening on:
Saturday, April 9th,
from 3pm to 6pm at the Lincoln Park facility, 3501 N. Valley Blvd., Los Angeles.
- where there's lots of free parking, as well.
I don't have details on where contributions can be made for any of you who would like to help out but will post as I learn more on this. Fireworks displays are one of the things that have a general appeal to the community. It takes little effort to watch, a real spectator event, and these can be seen on a more widespread way from a distance, that a lot of other events can't match.
These are professionally presented for a safe and enjoyable experience that avoids the risks that people still take with "safe and sane" types of fireworks, and the other totally illegal and hazardous types you always see and hear around 4th of July.
=============================================
This is one of the ways that these events can happen when the public works to support community events. The City funding of all things is severely diminshed based on a lot of things that I won't go into any detail now, but you know there's lots of blame to go around at City Hall- and the CMs still can find money for pet projects, usually from "discretionary funds" of each CM.
For many events now, there has to be real partnerships put together to raise money to cover events, and if they are important, there should be support to make them happen.
