Public Safety BBQ in Downtown Los Angeles
Prime Rib Sandwiches, Pasta, Salads and More!
Please join members of the Los Angeles Fire Department this Friday, October 3, 2008 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM for the 9th Annual Public Safety Appreciation Barbecue in Downtown Los Angeles.
Hosted by the Downtown Center Business Improvement District on the upper level of the 7+Fig Mall at 735 South Figueroa Street, this public event honors the men and women of the LAFD, LAPD, CHP, LADOT, FBI, Sheriff's Department and other public safety agencies.
All are welcome. We encourage use of the Metro Red Line, Metro Purple Line or Metro Blue Line, which serve the nearby "7th Street/Metro Center" Station. DASH Downtown Shuttles also serve the intersection of 7th Street and Figueroa Street, home to 7+Fig.
For those who wish to drive, there is easy-to-access hourly parking nearby.
This year, your simple $7 lunch donation supports the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association, a renowned charitable organization overseeing the Widows, Orphans and Disabled Firefighters Fund.
The most important aspect of this event is an opportunity for us to meet and thank you. So please mark your calendar and plan on joining us this Friday, October 3rd.
For more information, visit www.downtownla.com or call the Downtown Center Business Improvement District at (213)624-2146.

Anonymous 9:44,
It is important for us to clarify that this barbecue is entirely organized and hosted by the business leaders of downtown LA.
While we had hoped many would be able to join us via public transit (Metrolink to Union Station and then the Metro Red -or- Purple Line subway to 'Metro Center'), we understand that not everyone can make it downtown this Friday.
The good news is that business leaders in the Warner Center area of the western San Fernando Valley are planning their 'Grateful Hearts Food Faire and Fundraiser' event for late this month.
Additional details will appear soon on this LAFD Blog!
In the meanwhile, please see what you can do to join us at 7+Fig this Friday!
Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
Brian Humphrey
