New and ongoing members of the American Association of University Women, Laguna Beach, will be gathering for the 51st annual membership mixer from 3-5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10, at Laguna College of Art and Design, 2222 Laguna Canyon Rd.

Attendees will hear brief remarks from AAUW’s newest scholarship recipients, Jillian Broughton from Laguna College of Art and Design and Rebecca Higginbotham from Orange Coast College.

The organization’s programs and interest groups provide opportunities for women to explore common interests and make new friends, while supporting advocacy, education, philanthropy and research for the next generation, said local artist Leah Vasquez, co-chair of AAUW’s partnership activities with LCAD.

To attend the free event RSVP to Madeleine Peterson at 949 376-8494 or visit AAUW Laguna Beach online at  www.aauw-lagunabeach.org.

Trolley Tracker App Gets an Update

An update to the city’s Trolley Tracker mobile application is now available on the Visit Laguna Beach app.

New features include separate route information and a map of each route, a locator marker on the map pages so that riders can view where they are on the route, and arrival times for each bus stop on each route.

To update the tracker on a mobile device, update the Visit Laguna Beach app on your mobile device.

 

Non-Event Sets Non-Date

Saturday, Sept. 17, is this year’s non-date to negotiate the Laguna coastline. Those wishing to participate in the Aquathon should meet at Emerald Bay at 9:30 a.m. after parking at Aliso Beach. Check the Aquathon website for route details.

Those making it to the end of the route at 10th Street Beach can hop a trolley back to Aliso Beach and cross the highway for a survivor’s party at The Ranch. Please RSVP for the party: [email protected].

Experienced Aquathoners know that having hard bottom reef walkers, an exterior belt, fins, spring wetsuit and a Victory aqua-shirt will make the experience comfortable.

The entrance fee of $20 enables Aquathon organizers to donate to the Laguna Beach Junior Guard program and the John Wayne Cancer Foundation. Last year $1,500 was sent to the lifeguards and $100 to the cancer foundation.
