Lead Singer Wolf Bradley and his band Last Day Off Will Be Performing Saturday at the Alano Club in San Pedro.

“TO BREAK THE CHAIN OF VIOLENCE AND ADDICTION IN SAN PEDRO,” THE   ALANO CLUB HOSTS A BENEFIT DINNER AND CONCERT AIMED AT KEEPING KIDS OFF THE STREETS

Gearing up for a new program called “Kids Against Drugs and Violence,” the Alano Club will host a benefit dinner and concert this Saturday bringing in a youthful band, Last Day Off, to attract the younger generation.

Bob Ahl, executive director of the club, said the club is raising money for the program directly aimed at teenagers by hosting once a month Friday night dance parties to keep them off the streets and to steer them into a safe environment along with a myriad of other programs.

This Saturday’s event has a suggested donation of $35 for a gourmet dinner along with a speaking engagement and a concert with four bands later in the evening. Dinner begins at 6 p.m. and will be followed by guest speaker, Steve Ipsen.

Ipsen, a leading deputy district attorney for Los Angeles County, assembled one of the largest attorney unions in the nation. He will discuss “reform first,” where he will unveil his concepts about how to save hundreds of millions of dollars in the system and improve public safety while reducing the massive numbers of inmates in prison.

Following Last Day Off to the stage will be one of San Pedro’s favorite rock bands, CHOYCE, with headliner Franki Doll and the Broken Toys closing the evening of musical entertainment.

Under the planned activities for youth in the future, the club plans Friday night dances for teens ages 15 to 18 which will include supervision from adults who work with the club. Security will also be provided.

Other plans include teaching teenagers how to manage money, write resumes, host peer counseling for bullying and have overnight camping trips to places such as the Joshua Tree Astronomy Center.
