Patriotic community
I have been very remiss in not sending this letter earlier but I would like to thank the person who came up with the idea and the people responsible for executing the idea of putting the American flags on Main Street and up Seal Beach Boiulevard.
Because we are close to two military bases (the Seal Beach Navy Base and the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base) it is very apropos a special effort is made to not only show patriotism but also support the military.
The view on Main Street is like a picture post card and every time I drive on Main Street or Seal Beach Boulevard it touches my heart to see them. I often wonder is patriotism is waning in the USA but thanks to the leaders of Seal Beach, my faith has been restored. Thank you for being such a patriotic community!

Thanks for the article about the (Rock and Roll) class. Had a turn out of over 50 people and a lot said they came due to the article in the Sun.

Teaching kids courage
The Seal Beach Police Department is once again pleased to announce our partnership with Erin Runnion and The Joyful Child Foundation to bring the BE BRAVE program to Seal Beach.
BE BRAVE is a newly designed 90-minute, age-appropriate training for boys and girls in grades K thru 6 that includes verbal and physical skills to defend against sexual abuse, violence, and abduction.
The BE BRAVE program was designed by Erin Runnion to nurture each student’s ability to recognize potential dangers, verbalize discomfort or a need for help, and physically resist abduction, assault, or violence.
The Joyful Child Foundation was established in loving memory of Samantha Runnion. Samantha was a bright, creative, and loving little girl. She encouraged her friends and siblings to try their best and “Be Brave.”
Samantha’s greatest gift was ?nding and sharing the joy in all that she did.
The cost of the class is $25. Classes will be held approximately once per month beginning in June. Parents are encouraged to attend their children’s workshop. Please refer to the www.thejoyfulchild.org for all questions regarding the program, schedule and registration.
