WHEN: Saturday, February 12, 2011 TIME: 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM WHERE: Wrigley Pocket Park (21st Street and Riverbed) CONTACT: Jill Hill at jhill2075@verizon.net or 562-212-9397 The KaBOOM! Vision: A great place to play within walking distance of every child in America. Good news! Foresters, non-profit organization KaBOOM!, the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance, and the City of Long Beach are joining together to provide our Wrigley neighborhood with a playground. We have a Build Day scheduled on Saturday, February 12, 2011 and we need the entire community involved because this playground will be built in just ONE day! No experience is necessary and food/drink will be provided. There are jobs for people of all ages and abilities! We look forward to seeing you on BUILD DAY!! Just as play is essential to a child's physical, mental and social development, so does a community build project contribute to the health and vibrancy of the entire community. Habitat for Humanity Build, October 1, 2010 EWB CSULB had the opportunity to help build homes in the Lynwood area. We were joined by EWB USC and had a great day painting, moving and volunteering. Check back for the our next build day in November!    Donnie Payne and a crew leader moving it along.     We are looking for a few good sanitation/environmental engineers with professional experience to serve as Mentors. Mentors will oversee the design, assessment and implementation of the project and will be working closely with the students to assure their compliance with EWB standards. If you work with or know anyone who might be interested, please contact ewb.csulb@gmail.com. EWB Receives "Most Improved Organization of the Year" Award  The Associated Engineering Student Body awarded this honor to EWB this year for coming out of the shadows of the past year. From a handful of members in 2009, EWB CSULB has grown to over 30 active members for 2010. We look forward to continued membership growth and working hard to make this a multidisciplinary organization to include members from other majors.  EWB on 49er Video Webcast Matthew Guhit from the Daily 49er interviewed some of our members at our last meeting and did a small piece highlighting our mission. EWB's piece starts at about 5:00 minutes. Relay for Life Fundraiser    Almost $200 was raised by our team. I hope we can all have a great time doing something for our local community.
