2010
Greetings!
 
Welcome back to the June issue of our monthly newsletters from the Manhattan Beach Young Professionals.
 
A special note from the MBYP Chairs:

June is the final month of our 16-month term as chair & co-chair of MBYP and we send our members a huge thank you for being apart of an amazing year. Both of us were founding members of this popular group, and while we will still be active board members, we are proud of what we have accomplished. MBYP has grown into one of the premier networking groups in the South Bay, and we have made some amazing contacts and built solid professional relationships along the way. We have had the pleasure of working with an amazing board who has been instrumental in helping to make this group what it is today. We are excited to pass the torch to incoming co-chairs Jake Dax and Ricky Arakaki, and we look forward to seeing what's in store for MBYP under their leadership.  Many, many thanks and see you all at the next event!

Farewell,

Isela Blair & Todd Anderson

On May 16th, Board Members of MBYP were able to show their support to their charity, Mychal's Learning Place.  Mychal's holds an annual luncheon and silent auction fundraiser at the Manhattan Beach Marriott. The MBYP Board was there to support, mingle with the kids of Mychal's and to participate in the event.  This is just another way MBYP shows their continued commitment to their charity and community.
