‘Etch and Catch’ in Livermore
The Livermore Police Department is partnering with the Las Positas College automotive department to host another catalytic converter etching event next Thursday.
“Technicians will etch your license plate on your catalytic converter and spray paint your car with a Livermore Police identifier,” LPD officials said. “It helps deter theft and track your catalytic converter if it’s stolen.”
Offered on a first-come, first-served basis, the “Etch and Catch” event is set from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last vehicle in line at 3 p.m.) in LPC’s Building 800.
Trinity concert
The Trinity Concert Series is featuring some of the most memorable songs from stage and screen this Saturday evening when it presents “Dreams! The Music of Life and Hope from Broadway and Hollywood”.
“This concert is a musical play set at the Creative Musicians Retreat in Wolfeboro, N.H., in the summer of 2022. The play follows the attendees, faculty and staff as they prepare for their show at the end of the retreat and they tell their stories about performance anxiety, self-doubt, broken dreams and imposter syndrome,” organizers said.
Starring Leandra Ramm, Filo Ebid, Brie Martin and Joachim Luis and featuring Areté Singers, the show is set for 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church at 1225 Hopyard Road in Pleasanton. Go to www.tlcpleasanton.org.
