Cantonese Families Meetup #6

Sun, Oct 18, 4:30 PM

From LA Cantonese Families

Hi all! Come hang out in the park again. We'll be doing circle time again, earlier this time. Trying out a morning meetup on the westside! (subject to change if I get enough protest about this). Cantonese circle time will be 15-20 minutes, with some short songs, story time, and perhaps a short activity. These will all be designed to be engaging for a variety of ages (mainly thinking \~1-6yo). Be prepared to circle up with your kids and help facilitate hopefully a fun and enriching short program! The rest of the time will be free time for play, chat, and community building. Cantonese is always encouraged, but there's no pressure. Picnic blanket recommended but no fret if you show up without one. **1 RSVP per family** Whether or not you're bringing your fam, please RSVP for just yourself to leave space for others to RSVP (we're capped by Meetup to 10 RSVP guests). **Intentions:** * Create a fun, friendly, and supportive community * Improve each other's Cantonese by providing more opportunities to speak and learn - both for parents and kids * Bond with other Cantonese-speaking parents (or non-Canto parents trying to learn) and share the joys and challenges of trying to raise Cantonese-speaking humans * Normalize Cantonese for our kids by creating a place where other kids also speak Cantonese * Promote Cantonese language and culture, and both surface and serve the Canto-speaking community scattered throughout LA * Share tips and Canto resources **If you can't make this date/time, but are interested in the group, please message me. I'd love to hear from you.**

4.8

**INFORMATIONAL POSTING ONLY-See Website at** **[www.wildernesstravelcourse.org](http://www.wildernesstravelcourse.org/)** Dear Group Members, particularly the recent swell of new, never-been-backpacking-before-but-want-to-start members: There is a great Sierra Club opportunity that is about to begin….an opportunity that only happens one time each year and it is one of the best outdoor learning experiences the Sierra Club has to offer. This is the Angeles Chapter Wilderness Travel Course (WTC). Some of you have taken the course and are now leaders and/or knowledgeable hikers. For those of you who have not, enrollment in WTC is something you should consider now. The Wilderness Travel Course helps build outdoor skills so hikers can be safe in the backcountry. The course runs for ten weeks and includes four field trips (two one day and two weekend outings). Students learn map and compass navigation skills for competent hiking off-trail, snow travel, rock scrambling techniques, first aid, nutrition and lots more. The course is followed by unforgettable experience backpacking trips, most of which take place in the High Sierra, Sequoia and Yosemite during the summer months. WTC moves you from being a day hiker to a more serious adventurer. You will acquire skills in trip planning, preparation, equipment and wilderness safety to take you into the backcountry in all seasons, beyond roads and trails with new friends that share your interest in the outdoors. Again, the course runs only one time each year and takes place in Southern California in four locations as follows: West Los Angeles (Wednesdays beginning Jan 6th;Orange County (Tuesdays beginning Jan 12th) Long Beach/South Bay (Wednesdays beginning January 20th); San Gabriel Valley (Tuesdays beginning Jan 26th); The four geographic areas fill up well in advance of the class start date so register early. **FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO REGISTER FOR THE COURSE GO TO: www.wildernesstravelcourse.org**

From FREE Sunday Flag Football in La Canada, 91011 (9:00am)

5.0

**FREE Sunday flag football** at 9:00am on a grass high school football field in La Canada, 91011. We have all the jersey's, flags, and equipment so just bring your cleats and your fun competitive spirit and you are good to go! We’re a fun group that has been doing this for over 30 years and still going strong. We always welcome new players and anyone you can bring with you. Our skill level is moderate. We are not ex-NFL nor college D1 players. We're a bunch of semi-hacks that get together on Sunday to have fun playing competitive football. It does get competitive and people come to win. We do not play with a regulation size ball, it's a bit smaller. I cut the game at 16 people, and I turn people away each week. So, if you say you're going to play and no show, you're basically taking somebody else's spot who wanted to play. So we kindly ask that if you say you're going to show up, that you are absolutely 100% guaranteed to show up and do not flake out. **Text me (Joe - 818-371-8861) if you want to be added to the weekly “game-on” text.** **NOTE - I rarely post games here, I just send out the group text. So be sure to text me your info if you want to be included.** See you on the field! Joe 818-371-8861

Frequently asked questions

Meetup is a platform to find local communities and events. People use it to discover groups and activities connected to their interests, whether they're into hiking or canoeing.

Simply log in to Meetup and search for canoeing under Los Angeles. You'll find various groups organizing events, allowing you to explore outdoor waterways while connecting with fellow enthusiasts.

Yes, there are several canoeing groups in Los Angeles. These groups organize adventures on local waterways, offering great opportunities to meet new people passionate about the sport.

To RSVP to an event, navigate to the event page and click the RSVP button. Make sure to check any instructions or requirements published by the organizer before attending.

Event frequency varies by group and organizer. Some groups offer regular outings, while others may have sporadic events. Stay tuned to group announcements for updates.

While there's a rich outdoor scene in LA, event availability depends on current group activities. Not all interests may have events regularly, but joining multiple groups helps increase opportunities.

Meetup primarily focuses on group activities. It's a great way to connect with people by participating in events, although it is not designed for 1-on-1 connections.

Not every Los Angeles spot may be suitable for canoeing; it depends on the location. Group organizers usually plan events in permissible and safe areas, so it's best to check with them.

Use Meetup’s search filters to sort by location. You can enter 'Los Angeles' to see groups and events available in that area, including those focused on canoeing.

No, events on Meetup are organized by group members and not by the platform itself. Each group has hosts responsible for planning and managing their activities.

While safety factors are usually considered, the responsibility ultimately lies with the group organizers and participants. Make sure to follow any guidelines provided and use common sense.

The platform helps make connections possible, but real engagement depends on your participation. Being active in different groups will enhance your chances for meaningful interactions.
