August 28, 2017 (Lemon Grove) - The Lemon Grove Lions Club is hosting a Salsa y Salsa Fiesta to raise money to buy new bleachers for Lemon Grove Little League.
Lemon Grove Mayor Pro-Tem Jennifer Mendoza cited safety concerns with the current bleachers . “Lemon Grove is one of the poorest communities in San Diego,” she said. “Our Little League has been here for some fifty years and is showing its age, so our Lions Club adopted it as our project.”
The two sets of new bleachers will have four rows of seating, a wraparound safety enclosure so people can’t fall out of them, and are less likely to cause injury from someone walking into them.
The benefit is Saturday, September 16 from 6-9 p.m. at Monte Vista Village Auditorium at 2211 Massachusetts Ave. in Lemon Grove 91945. The cost is $20 in advance or $25 at the door.
Contact jennifermendozalg@gmail.com for tickets or to enter the salsa tasting contest.
There will be salsa tasting and salsa dancing, as well as a taco cart, drinks, raffle and silent auction prizes.
Parking is available on Massachusetts Ave. or behind the complex on McKnight Drive.
