If we don't take responsibility for Leucadia,others will. So far, we haven’t, they have, and the results aren’t good. Beacon’s Beach is deteriorating - and the city transferred state funds earmarked for Beacon’s improvement to a Moonlight Beach project.Massive Streetscape Highway 101 shopping center project will transform Leucadia into a typical, oceanfront suburb. The project replicates a design that’s been used in 1000 other cities to rehabilitate commercial slums. The needs of pedestrians, s …

OC Green Business Networking is for professionals in the green industry who want to meet like-minded people who get it. We'll network, discuss our businesses and how to help each other succeed. There will be no agenda, maybe a speaker now and then but this group is casual and unstructured so we can just get to know each other.

Think about something you enjoy doing and would love to do more of. That would be something you could offer to the OC Time Bank. Now think about something you don't enjoy doing, need help with doing, or would just rather someone else do for you. That is something you can request from other members in the time bank and pay the time hours you earn for someone to do that service for you. As a part of the Orange County Time Bank you can help others while doing what you love.  You earn a time hour or …
