Daily Grill Opened in Early January

The Daily Grill provides an ideal meeting place for office workers and residents of the surrounding communities.

Daily Grill Restaurant joins the distinguished roster of casual and fine dining establishments located along the Rosecrans corridor. Situated within Continental Park, the upscale eatery provides classic American grill fare.

Best known as a full-service restaurant featuring hearty portions of freshly prepared signature dishes, Daily Grill has become a popular dining destination with nine locations throughout Southern California.

"The South Bay had been a target location for several years," said Bob Spivak, president and chief executive of Los Angeles-based Grill Concepts, Inc. "We had been waiting for the right location and Continental Park is clearly the right spot for the Daily Grill. Upscale residential demographics and the proximity of entertainment and office buildings provide a dynamic opportunity."

Spivak says that the 7,000 square foot eatery features an exhibition-style kitchen, bar, private- and main-dining room, as well as an exterior patio and separate outside bar. "Good service is all about teambuilding between the kitchen and the front of the house. Our chef was trained by Daily Grill and came up through the ranks. Jim Snodgrass, who was formerly at the Palm Desert location, is the general manager."

President's Message:

I'd like to welcome to Continental Park the firms who have recently joined the prestigious roster of companies calling the Park home. Continental Park has been planned as a self-contained environment, where its occupants can enjoy an array of dining, entertainment and lifestyle amenities. As such, Continental Park has evolved to become the South Bay's most desirable business address. The Park's evolution will continue, but the importance we place on the fine people and businesses that we have the privilege to serve on a daily basis will never change. We appreciate your loyalty, and wish you continued success.

El Segundo Educational Foundation Launches New Community-Giving Program

The El Segundo Educational Foundation (ESEF) approaches its 20th anniversary next year, and 2002 has the distinction of being the most successful year in the organization's history.

On February 25, 2002, the biennial fundraiser at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant raised nearly $250,000, an all-time record for an ESEF event; the annual golf tournament in May was a resounding success; and the year culminated with the establishment of the "Superintendent's Roundtable" support group.

Since its forming in 1983, the El Segundo Educational Foundation
has donated more the $1.25 million to schools within the El Segundo Unified School District. Over the years, the foundation's charitable support has primarily funded technological and arts-related programs.

On October 24, the foundation launched a new community-giving program, the Superintendent's Roundtable. "The establishment of the Superintendent's Roundtable is the next logical step in the foundation's goal of ensuring sufficient funding of public education in El Segundo," says Richard Lundquist, chairman of the El Segundo Educational Foundation.

According to Lundquist, the Superintendent's Roundtable is composed of those individuals and businesses making annual donations to the foundation of $1,000 or more. "This significant level of community support will assist the foundation in helping to prepare young people for lifelong success by providing funds to supplement those that the school district receives from the state. It is planned that the infusion of this additional funding will help enable the local school district to provide a public education that is competitive with the best available."

Lundquist says that the foundation is seeking at least 200 individuals and businesses to join the Superintendent's Roundtable. Benefits of Superintendent's Roundtable membership will include invitations to two private events each year featuring briefings by the superintendent and special guest speakers, tickets to foundation events; recognition in the organization's annual report; and one-tee sponsorship at the annual Strokes of Genius golf tournament.

Pink's Famous Hot Dogs Is Pacific Theatre's Newest Blockbuster

Pacific Theatres' Beach Cities-16 Cinemas is one of five exclusive locations within the theatre chain to serve the legendary Pink's Hot Dogs. Movie-goers are enjoying premium, all-beef, nine-inch stretch dogs topped with Pink's mouth-watering chili or traditional toppings of yellow mustard, raw onions and pickle relish, according to Chris Walden, operations manager for theatre chain's Beach Cities' location.

Well-known to native and long-time Angelenos, Pink's ranks as one of the most famous hot dog stands in the country. Located in Hollywood on Melrose at La Brea for more than 60 years, Pink's was founded by Paul Pink and it remains a family-owned business today.

"We believe that good food service and customer satisfaction are an important part of an enjoyable movie-going experience," says Walden. "Pink's shares our service and satisfaction philosophy and it is a great addition to our family. We've had terrific response from movie-goers, but our snack lobby is open to all guests at all times and anyone is welcome to come in and purchase a hot dog or other items."

Our showroom is open to our clients, where they can evaluate the level of quality of products and services offered before making buying decisions."

Located at 2221 Rosecrans in Suite 103, Office Design Studio is offering businesses within Continen- tal Park free design services at no cost or obligation, as well as free delivery and installation, which can total 10% of an entire project.

Its furniture collections include a wide-selection of panel systems; private office furniture executive desk systems and office chairs; standard office and computer desk systems and chairs; cabinets; lobby furniture such as sofas and sofa tables; conference systems; and mobile storage stacks.
