Animals and Movies Adventure & Charity Coin Drive at the LA Zoo, Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Join Mosaic Outdoor Club of Greater Los Angeles and Nexus, for a unique, one of a kind event -- Animals and Movies Adventure and Charity Coin drive -- a social gathering for you to meet & mingle with new people, network, and schmooze with your friends while participating in an interactive contest consisting of animal, movie, and LA Zoo trivia, puzzles, and physical challenges.

• The team with the most points wins a prize. The prize starts at $100 and goes up with attendance.

• The event begins with a brisk walking tour to familiarize you with the zoo. During this tour and the following 45 minutes, you’ll have a chance to meet and mingle with new people and schmooze with your friends. Take this time to form or join a team of 4-6 people and grab a bite to eat.

• The contest opens with the team trivia challenge, consisting of a series of questions related to animals, movies, and the LA Zoo.

• The main event of the contest is the Zoo Adventure, a series of puzzles your team will solve by exploring the zoo together.
--- Your team will receive the first puzzle at “Puzzle Central”.
--- Upon solving this puzzle, write your answer clearly on the line at the bottom of the page containing the puzzle.
--- Exchange your puzzle answer for a new puzzle at “Puzzle Central”
--- Continue to exchange puzzle answers for new puzzles until the contest ends.
--- Teams may choose to “pass” on a puzzle. Once a puzzle has been turned in, it may not be worked again.

• You are invited to contribute to the Charity Coin Drive. Participants in the Coin Drive will vote for the charity to receive all the coins collected.

• Teams will be judged on total points acquired by solving puzzles, answering the trivia challenge, and contributions made by team members to the Charity Coin Drive.

Neighborhood Walk to Movie Star Homes and Brunch at Nate & Al's, Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Have you ever wondered where movie stars like Keanu Reeves, Leonardo DiCaprio, Simon Cowell, Jay Leno and Madonna live ?  Well they live right in your backyard.  Mosaic Outdoor Club of Greeater Los Angeles will be taking you on a star walk through the Beverly Hills neighborhoods to check out the homes of the stars you have always admired.  Using the traditional "Map to the Stars" you might buy on Hollywood Blvd, we'll try to make this a scenic, interesting walk with alot of really beautiful, ritzy architecture and landscapes.  We'll give you a printout of our route so you can follow along.  We'll try to keep the walk about 4 miles, but it might be a little more because some of the stars live in exclusive areas, there might be some uphill...so bring comfortable walking shoes.  Afterwards, we'll stop by Nate and Al's for a Sunday brunch to discuss which actors and actresses are hot, and what juicy gossip we might have heard.
