Kali spera, Ortho-bros and Ortho-sisters!

Here is our newly set up Forum YouTube channel. If you would like to follow some of the things we do at our forum meetings and outside our forum meetings and tons of other fun stuff, captured on video, please...

CRUSH that subscribe button with your bare knuckles.

And flatten it until we hit 1,000,000. And at 1,000,000 subs, we will do a face-reveal, without specifying who the "we" are. God bless, and thank you :D :D :D

Had an awesome time at the Dodger game with POYAC, Forum, and friends on September 7!

Take me out to the ballgame, this Thursday, September 7th, at 7pm! :-)

Greetings in the Lord, young adults!

POYAC, the Pan-Orthodox Young Adult Choir, and the East L.A. FORUM are organizing a young adult Dodger game, and other friends are welcome too, BUT, THERE'S ONLY 6 OF 20 SEATS LEFT!! :-)

We are excited to have a long-overdue outing to share in fellowship together, and given the Dodgers are the best team in baseball right now, we thought it would be a fun atmosphere for all of us to be in!

How to RSVP: Please tell me your email address (you can email [email protected]) and read all the important information below, then I will send you the seating chart so you can pick where your seat(s) will be!

Ticket prices: Tickets are only $11/person! :-) I've purchased a group package of 20 tickets to save us all half price of normal tickets! So please spread the word to any friends you think would be interested so we don't end up with any leftover tickets! :-)

How to pay me: Please Venmo, PayPal, or mail me a check for the number of tickets you would like: find my Venmo via FB; my PayPal email is [email protected]; and you may mail to 1621 W Garvey Avenue, Alhambra, CA 91803.

How to receive your tickets: Please just give me your email address and I will FW you your tickets! :-).

We hope many of you join in on this fun evening, and please contact me as soon as possible!

PS - This event will be in leu of the usual bi-weekly East L.A. Forum.
