June 7: City Council-Board of Ed. Meetings, Pre-School Storytime, Shavuot and Cheesecake

Tuesday brings sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s in Long Beach, as well as many meetings and activities. Here are just a few we think you should know about:

1. The Long Beach City Council will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. at City Hall, and the Long Beach Board of Education will hold a meeting at 7:30 at Long Beach Middle School. The council's meeting is the first of the month and includes a "good and welfare" session that allows residents to address the city manager and council members about government-related issues.

2. Celebrate Shavuot at Temple Emanu-El on Neptune Boulevard starting at 6 p.m. Anyone is welcome to enjoy a short service, full dinner and special Shavuot dessert: cheesecake.

3. The West End branch of the Long Beach Library on West Beech Street will hold a preschool story time starting at 4:20 p.m. This continuing Tuesday program is for children between the ages of 3 and 5 (pre-kindergarten).

4. Long Beach radio personality Halftime Howie hosts his show Broadcasting On The Beach each Tuesday at 8 p.m. on AM 1240 WGBB. Tonight Howie broadcasts live from the new salon, Aura at the Beach, at 28 W. Park Ave.

5. West End residents, listen up! Remember that sanitation pickup is each Tuesday and Friday in your neighborhood, and citywide recycling is every Wednesday. So put your garbage curbside this morning.
