We will also be running an earthquake drill on August 4 to test our emergency alert procedures.

Our staff was trained in maneuvering saws, lifting tons of concrete and tested in the standard search and rescue procedures through rigorous performance in both search and rescue functions.
June 8, 2011 Generous contributions from The Solís Group among college friends and alumni have enabled Eloy Oakley, President of Long Beach City College, to fund the President's Ambassadors and the State of the College Luncheon. As a major patron of the fund, Terry Solís, CEO, has been invited to a reception in honor of the members of the Platinum and the President's Circles. The President's Ambassadors is a program made possible by funds raised by Long Beach City College Foundation. Committed to building strong relationships between the College and its key supporters in the community, the President's Circle offers an opportunity to strengthen those relationships and create ongoing dialogues between the Superintendent-President and others who share the educational commitment. TSG's contributions were appreciated and recognized by President Oakley at the reception, hosted by Law Office of Keesal, Young & Logan.

educational events in the chapter’s educational seminar series.
