John's pick of the week! | 
I'm John Jones, Director of the Community Services Department. This is our thirteenth edition of the Torrance eNEWSLETTER, another way to find out what's happening in the great City of Torrance. Each week I'll give you my picks of what you and your family can do in Torrance.
Winter Fun! Stop in for fun at the parks this Winter. Recreation staff will be leading and supervising activities and crafts at no cost! Young children should be accompanied by an adult, as this is a drop in program. Parks marked with an asterisk* will be closed in the event of rain. Please call (310) 618-2930 for more information.
