Wrigley Association partnered with the LB Dept. of Parks, Recreation & Marine to host some events leading up to the popular Movies in the Park night. Wrigley Association Board Member P.G. Herman had the vision and put in many days of work to pull of this event. Herman and other Wrigley members solicited more than $6,000 worth of goods and services from business
and groups, most of them within Wrigley Village. Several other groups
including the Neighborhood Advisory Group, Better Balance for Long Beach,the 6th & 7th district council offices, LBPD-including their popular K-9
unit, Fire Fighters Association Local 372, CPAC and The Wrigley Moms
