Membership: **In order to be accepted as a member of Beach Cities Active, your profile needs to show a clear photo of your face and you need to include your full name.

If you want to bring a friend, have them become a member of Beach Cities Active and have them rsvp as well. If you are attending an event for the first time, you need to arrive early or on time as I will not necessarily be available to provide much guidance once an event has started. If you cannot arrive early or on time to your 1st event, then please text me at (310) 809-2011 the day before the event so I can go over the basics with you. If you are unable to make an outing, please update your rsvp; do not text me unless you are running late for a SUP/Kayak/Cycle outing. Three no shows and you will be dropped from the group. Our events are not appropriate for minors, so please leave the kiddos with a sitter. Goal: Have fun & be social! We love stand up paddle boarding / kayaking, cycling, Pickleball , live music, art and backyard barbecues & parties. Outdoor activities are moderate to fast paced. You do need to stretch out before all outdoor activities which include rests to take photos & have water. Some events are followed by more social time at local eateries. In order to broaden our geographic reach and offer even more activities, Beach Cities Active frequently invites other meetup groups to cross post their events to our page so if you want to know how many are attending, do visit the page of the organizer who posted the event. We believe that constructive feedback from our members is the lifeblood of the our group. As such, members are encouraged to suggest ideas for new activities or ways to make our existing activities even better. When you join, please let us know your best availability for activities & which activities most interest you. Also let us know if you are interested in co-leading a group To ensure the health of our members, we do request that you be fully vaccinated & fully boosted; no exceptions.

Let's have a good time and REMEMBER IT! **WHO:** This group is made up of all kinds of folks! Those who never liked alcohol, those who can't drink anymore for health reasons, those who only drink occasionally, those who are in recovery, those who are trying to drink less or quit, and those who just want to meet new people and are ok with not drinking for a night!

Beach outings, alcohol-free happy hours, skating, yoga, tourist attractions, trivia, music, museums and aquariums, bingo, movies and more! **WHERE:** Most events are in Long Beach, but occasionally in surrounding areas. **WHEN:** Events are for the most part weekly and have between 5 -40 attendees! \*Please note that since many of these events have a limited number of spots, those who no-show to 3 or more events will be removed from the group See ya soon!

Also, bring a confirmation of your vaccination status to each event; you may be asked to show it**.

Our activities take place around the **South Bay**, especially the Palos Verdes Peninsula and San Pedro. \*\*\*The South Bay Walking & Hiking Group \*\*\*focuses on 4-6 mile walks, trail walks, and hikes at a **moderate pace** — with an occasional more strenuous or longer walk thrown in for a challenge and increased fitness. We walk on sidewalks, boardwalks, and trails, wherever the journey takes us. **Our other goal is to enjoy nature and the outdoors**\-\- the ocean\, marine animals\, and habitats of our area \-\- so we seek routes that benefit both body and soul\! We also do sunset walks to admire beautiful views available in our gorgeous area at different times of the day\. Often we stop at a great café or restaurant after the hikes\. \*\*\*The South Bay Walking & Hiking Group \*\*\*branches out to other activities that are all about fitness, fun, and friendship-- like kayaking, bike riding, whale watching, dining, movies, and more. *When there is interest, there will also be historical walks, inter-generational walks (i.e. walks with children), and dog walks.* **In brief, we support each other to get and stay fit while enjoying good times together!  Please join us!** **By the way, we don't charge dues to have you join and enjoy our many exciting activities. You are totally welcome to participate in our meetup for free because your participation is already a great contribution! At the same time, we gladly accept donations. You can Donate by giving cash or check to the Event Host.** **Thanks for your support and WELCOME!** ***If you enjoy our events, we appreciate donations.*** **You can donate using:** **Venmo -- send to Anita-Canfield-1** **Zelle -- send to (213) 300-3472** ***In return for your participation:*** *We expect our Members to change their RSVP to “Not Going” from “Going” as soon as they know, especially for events that have a Waiting List.*   *“No Shows” are inconsiderate, especially when there is a Waiting List, and Members who have three “No Shows” will automatically be removed from future events for which there is a Waiting List, if they are on the “Going” list.* *All of our Event Hosts are volunteers. They are hosting because they enjoy the activity and want others to share this enjoyment. We encourage you to try new activities with us.* *Do not send unsolicited messages to members. If a member complains about receiving such messages, you will be removed from the group.* *When you RSVP for our events, you assume all of the risks of participating in any/all activities associated with the South Bay Walking and Hiking Group.* *You certify that you are physically fit, have sufficiently prepared or trained for participation in this activity, and have not been advised to not participate by a qualified medical professional.
