People can submit payments and meal choices to Treasurer Rachel Fullum by dropping it off in her mailbox at 1371 Oakmont Road, 150-L, Seal Beach, CA 90740 (allow 9-12 days for delivery if using U.S. Mail). Payment by check should be made payable to the American Latino Club.
For more information or to RSVP, call Fullum at 310869-7730. The club welcomes all guests; however, it cannot guarantee guest meals unless they have pre-ordered as the club does not order extra meals.
In celebration of Father’s Day, the club invites people to share their favorite 5-10 minute story about dads. The club will also enjoy socializing and playing games of bingo or loteria during the meeting.
The club will meet on Thursday, July 16, in the Clubhouse 1 picnic area for a Fourth of July picnic.
