A fantastic time at our Axes and Ales Open House on Friday, February 23, 2024.  It was a great event with members, newcomers, and some fun competition.  Afterward, we continued the fun at Strut, Costa Mesa.  We may have to return to Slashers Axe Throwing and Craft Ales for another tournament!

Candidate Reception with Greg Wallis

Thank you to our membership and guests for attending the reception with Greg Wallis on Saturday, January 27, 2024.  We had a wonderful event with members, friends, and guests at the home of Jim Brophy.  It was a great opportunity to hear from Greg Wallis and about his campaign for Assembly.

Commit to active citizenship.  "Established by Senate Bill 450 (2016), the California Voter's Choice Act (VCA) modernizes elections in California by allowing counties to conduct elections under a model which provides greater flexibility and convenience for voters.  This election model allows voters to choose how, when, and where to cast their ballot by: Mailing every voter a ballot, Expanding in-person early voting, Allowing voters to cast a ballot at any vote center within their county, Providing secure ballot drop off locations throughout the county".  (California Secretary of State)

“Today, a significant milestone in rectifying these injustices has been reached with the introduction of the Recover Pride in Service Act by Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR).  This pivotal legislation not only acknowledges the grave errors of the past but also establishes a crucial precedent for how we honor and support those who have been wrongfully discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces.” (LCR)

Unleash your inner warrior with our exclusive big axe throwing experience.  Ticket includes training by an axe coach, practice, elimination tournament, championship round, and prize. 

Slashers has a selection of soft drinks, bottled and draft beer, hard seltzer, and special themed drinks for individual purchase.  Packaged snacks are also available for purchase. 

Membership in LCROC is an excellent way to meet likeminded people, participate in political activities, and join together with allies.  We welcome guests, whether with a member or as visitor interested discovering more about LCROC.  One of the greatest ways to contribute as a member is to refer friends and arrive early to greet visitors.
