American Latino Club
The LW American Latino Club will meet on Thursday, Feb. 12, in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, from 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m. All residents are welcome to join the club at this month’s gathering as it celebrates the country of Nicaragua. Each month the club studies and celebrates different Latin American countries through videos showcasing the different customs, cultures, foods, and people.
The American Latino Club is all-inclusive, welcoming everyone from different backgrounds and traditions (speaking Spanish is not a requirement). The annual membership fee is $10 per person. Non-members are welcome as guests (limit three times per year, after which membership is encouraged).
The club will provide lunch from California Pizza Kitchen. Meal choices include a combination of original chicken chopped salad, with a choice of bolognese fusilli (meat sauce with Cremini mushrooms, sprinkled with scallions) or chicken tequila fettuccini (creamy jalapeño lime sauce with spinach fettuccine, red onions, bell peppers and fresh cilantro), and bread with an assorted cookie platter. The lunch is $22 for members and $25 for guests.

Make sure to allow for enough time if sending payment by U.S. mail. Payment by check should be made payable to the American Latino Club. Cost for members and guests who bring their own lunch is $5 (includes beverages). Members should notify Fullum of lunch choice or if they are bringing their own lunch by calling 310-869-7730.
