How do we support the Long Beach neighborhoods that need more time, resources and attention? We volunteer!
Meet Jontue of Starr King Neighborhood Association, who volunteers her time with a small group of caring individuals to bring important resources, events and information to North Long Beach residents. Starr King neighborhood is situated in northwest Long Beach within the boundaries of Greenleaf to Artesia Blvd. from Long Beach Blvd. to Coachella Avenue, which borders the 710 freeway.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
