Building Community at a Community Building

This post has been updated to include information provided by John and Ed.

Pomona Heritage is hosting its annual picnic this Saturday from 4 - 6 PM at the Palomares Adobe. 491 E. Arrow Hwy (at Orange Grove)

If you're not already a member, consider becoming a member (family memberships are only $30) yet this week so you can get some rockin' deep pit barbeque pork and beef, tortillas and drinks. Members with last names beginning with A - O are asked to bring a dessert for 12; members with last names beginning with P - Z are asked to bring a salad or side dish for 12. Please call to RSVP (they have to know how much barbeque to throw in the pit): (866)833-4086

The adobe will be open for touring!

So, let's do the math. For the price of a $30 membership, a family of four can enjoy an amazing meal plus a tour of a gorgeous local landmark plus -- if the spirit moves you -- you can meander over to the park to kick your heels up at the skate part (or lawn bowling field). Deal!

For information on how to become a member, check out the Pomona Heritage website. The website says you have to send in your member info, but I'm guessing (and this is a total guess) that if you showed up to the barbeque with the information and cash in hand you'd be able to sign up on the spot. Can anyone confirm this hunch?

A good meal, A good cause

My contact at The Eagles wrote me this to make everyone aware:

" Hi Stew,
The Pomona Eagles are having a K-9 dinner on June 18th to purchase another dog for the Police Dept. The menu is baked chicken, vegetable, mashed potatoes & gravy and a roll.
Dinner is from 5 to 7 PM, cost is $7.00. "

Ed left out that the Eagles are located at 954 W Mission Blvd,Pomona, CA 91766, (909) 622-9160.

I've been there Monday nights for Taco and had a great time.

Love 'Ya, Pomona!
