Meadows Parent Party

Drop your Walkman and Rubiks Cube. Turn off your Commodore 64. And wake me up before you go-go. It's time to rock out like it's the 80's! So, prepare to don your favorite 80's rock t-shirt, sport your Flock of Seagulls haircut or throw on your Flashdance leg warmers. The Meadows annual parent party will take place on March 3, 2012 at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach. Don't miss out on the event of the year! Buy your tickets for the Meadows Parent Party here.

EVERYONE can come up with SOMETHING that other people would love to have. What great thing can you donate to the Parent Party Auction? Put on your thinking caps. We are looking for gift certificates, tickets, unique experiences, hotel stays, parties or anything that you think others would like to bid on. A great selling point for any business donating items is that our auction will be online and reach many people outside the Meadows community. To make a donation, click here
