Join friends and colleagues for a round of golf and support LEAF, CLCA's scholarship-awarding foundation. We'll play on the Victoria Lakes Course, which opened Aug. 22, 2008. The challenging course features eight acres of water, bent/poa annual grass greens and Greg Norman (GNI) hybrid bermuda fairways. You will especially enjoy the local version of “Amen Corner” at holes 12, 13 and 14. The challenging Victoria Lakes Course hosted a 2009 American Junior Golf Association four-day tournament.
If you need clubs, contact the pro-shop for rental information.
Movie Morning
Rock The Boat
Date: Saturday, July 16
Time: 8 – 9:30 a.m.
Join CLCA at the movies! We'll screen Rock The Boat, a controversial tale of a group's 51-mile boating expedition down the cemented canals known as the Los Angeles River. The California Landscape Contractors Association has become a sponsor and co-producer for the documentary, which offers questions and solutions for Los Angeles' water crisis. After the screening, expect spirited debate about sustainability and water use in L.A. and statewide.
The river's cement-lined walls were originally built by the Army Corps of Engineers to prevent flooding. Defying both the corp and local authorities, the group traveled the river to demonstrate that it was a navigable river that qualified for protection under the Clean Water Act.
“When we met with the Director Thea Mercouffer earlier this year, we were very excited about the possibilities of what the Los Angeles River could become, not only from a recreational and flood prevention perspective, but also as a significant water source for the area. With California's water crisis, rather than see all the water pushed out to sea, there are lots of ways to harness some of that water for Los Angeles to use” said Chuck Carr, CLCA Director of Communications. “Los Angeles has a current River Revitalization Plan, but most of us didn't even know they had one until we considered becoming a sponsor. We were pleased to see that they included a lot of positive, sustainable ideas in the master plan including natural filtration of stormwater to help clean water run off before it before it enters the river.”
