Annual Junior Guard Dance

Our annual Junior Guard dance is back on! The dance will be held Friday, August 6th, 2010 at the city gym, 1600 Palm Avenue. The gym is located on the corner of 17th and Palm Avenue in Huntington Beach. The dance will start at 7:00 pm and end promptly at 10:00 pm. The C’s need to be picked up at approximately 9:00 pm; the B’s at 9:30 pm; and the A’s at 10:00 pm. The cost of admission is $5.00. Profit from the dance will go to support the Junior Guard Program’s new storage facility. The $5.00 fee will also allow the junior guards to have shaved ice, a soft drink and entry into our raffle which contains items from Huntington Surf and Sport and other fun prizes.

The annual dance is very popular among the junior guards. We consider the dance a very important fund-raiser and one of the highlights of the program. This event is intended to be fun, and will be very entertaining to see what costumes the junior guards come up with. Please note there will be a dress code that will be strictly enforced. Junior Guards must be dressed in a minimum of shorts and shirts. No scantily clad costumes or Speedos will be permitted.

Only junior guards have the privilege of attending this function. Non-junior guards will not be admitted into the dance.

Our staff would appreciate it if you would please arrive on time to pick up your Junior Guard. If you wish to pick up your Junior Guard early, please make arrangements to meet your child at the door at your agreed time. Instructor security guards will assist in locating your child, if necessary. If you have any questions, contact me at 374-5079.

Sincerely,
Dave Simcox
Program Coodinator

Parking Pass Reminders

We at the Junior Lifeguards would like to remind you that the parking passes distributed at the beginning of the season are given to the Junior Guard program by the City Council for your convenience. This pass is not a part of the cost of the Junior Guard program and should not be considered as a purchase made by you. For this reason it is important that we not abuse these rules as that could jeopardize this benefit. This is a summer of transition. Our south parking lot is undergoing major renovations and will impact parking procedures. The following guidelines should be implemented to assure a safe and comfortable method of dropping off and picking up your Junior Guards.

1. All cars ENTER at Beach Boulevard.

2. All cars EXIT at Huntington Street.

3. No pickup/drop off on the other side of PCH.

4. Carpool/ride a bike/walk to the beach whenever possible. This will also save money and help the environment.

5. Older Junior Guards may be dropped off further away (Tower 11) and walk the rest of the way.

6. Be aware that the times between 11:45 A,M. and 1:15 P.M. will be the most impacted as these times mark the end of the AM session and the beginning of the PM session.

7. Remember that parking or stopping at a red curb is illegal and may result in a citation.

It is going to be another successful summer program that we all will enjoy. Thank you for your patience. Your continued flexibility and support will overcome this summer's inconvenience.
