Halloween at the Club began with ghosts made out of sheets and giant trash bag spiders, suspended above members heads as they entered the building. Festivities included the annual limbo parade followed by a costume contest with great prizes. A group even went on a “Zombie Walk” to some local businesses to received healthy treats. Back at the club members made skeletons out of q-tips and painted pumpkins into masterpieces to make this Halloween a special and memorable day at the Boys & Girls Club! READ MORE
On Monday October 24, 2011 garden club members got the opportunity to cook with Meggan, a Laguna Arts Culinary Institute student. Meggan made healthy pizzas and banana cream parfaits with the members. Each member was given a whole wheat pita, tomato sauce, low-fat cheese, turkey pepperoni, bell peppers and onions to choose from. Everyone had fun choosing their own toppings and creating their own pizzas before enjoying their warm snack. READ MORE

That’s why Boys and Girls Club of Laguna Beach has introduced a quick, easy and HEALTHY recipe of the week (although we recommend feeding them more than once a week). This week we introduce to you… Hot Chile Grilled Cheese! READ MORE
