QUESTION: Before I moved from the area I enjoyed taking part in Senior Concerns Love Run each spring. Now I have returned to Ventura County and wonder if the Love Run is still an annual event?
ANSWER: Welcome back and yes the Love Run is still an annual event. The Ladin Subaru 25th Annual Love Run, which benefits Senior Concerns Meals on Wheels program, is scheduled for Sunday June 3rd. The event will take place at 3011 Townsgate Road in Westlake Village.
This year’s run will feature five events – three timed events, a love/hate half marathon, a 5K and a 10K run. There will also be a one mile fun Run/Walk and a virtual race for those who can’t participate but still want to help.

JUST A REMINDAR:
Beginning June 2, 2018 you must start using the new dialing procedures for all calls – even for local calls. If you don’t your calls will not be completed and a recording will instruct you to hang up and dial again using the new procedure.
From landline phones you will have to dial 1 + area code + telephone number.
From cellular or mobile phones callers may dial area code + telephone number or 1 + area code + telephone number.
You can still just three digits to reach 911.
