Fullerton Claude Code Hands-on Workshop
Thu, Oct 22, 8:28 PMWe are getting together in Fullerton for a hands-on session focused on Claude Code. The goal is to move past the documentation and actually see how this tool handles real-world coding tasks. Whether you have been experimenting with it in your personal projects or you are just curious about how it integrates into a development workflow, this is a chance to troubleshoot, share tips, and see what others are building. This workshop is designed for developers who enjoy exploring new tooling in a low-pressure, collaborative environment. We will be working through a few practical exercises together, so please bring your laptop and have your environment set up and ready to go. It is a great opportunity to get a sense of how Claude Code can speed up your process or help you get unstuck on a tricky piece of logic. If you are planning to join us, please take a second to RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount for the space. We look forward to seeing everyone there and digging into the code.

Atheists Volunteer! Glendale Highway Cleanup 🛣🧹🦺
Sat, Oct 3, 3:00 PMIf you believe community service is a critical part of giving back locally we hope you join us as we clean the 2 Freeway in Glendale! We work with CalTrans to leave a cleaner, most sustainable future for everyone that lives here. Come join our efforts! Atheists United is a community nonprofit that provides programming for Greater LA's million+ atheists and agnostics. We've proudly been hosting highway cleanups in Los Angeles for almost two decades. **What to wear:** Close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen or long sleeve shirt. Dress in layers because it can start out cold and warm up later in the morning. We'll provide bags, gloves, and grabbers so you won't have to bend over to pick up trash. Minimum age to participate is 16. **Lunch or Refreshments:** We'll pick a place for refreshments after the cleanup **How long:** The highway clean-up will take about 2 hours; plus optional get-together for refreshments afterward. **How to find us:** We'll meet at the Holly exit, off of the 2 freeway in Glendale (See map). Call Steve if you can't find the group 310-686-8862. **RSVP:** Please remember to change your RSVP to "no" if you can't make it. This is a common courtesy. This is also important because we can't do the cleanup with only one person attending, for safety reasons. **Other details:** Please post any questions in the comments and I'll update the event with more details. 🔻🔻🔻 This group is sponsored by Atheists United.
