The mission of the Manhattan Beach Coordinating Council is to establish a forum to promote
networking, communication and information exchange among agencies,
organizations and individuals and to provide recognition to local students.
To accomplish their goal:
- Organizing monthly luncheons (held in October through May, excluding December), where city staff, local elected officials, school district personnel, non-profit agencies and members of the business and residential communities come together to discuss issues affecting our City.
- Recognizing Students of the Month from American Martyrs School, Manhattan Beach Middle School and Mira Costa High School.
- Featuring a special guest speaker at our luncheons who focus on a variety of topics.
- Presenting scholarships to graduating seniors from Mira Costa High School at our special May Scholarship Luncheon.
- Awarding scholarships totalling $24,000 to six highly deserving students.
- Solely funding our scholarships with associate fees, sponsorships, and our luncheon raffles.

Verandas specializes in hosting events, whether they be weddings, corporate meetings or parties. The facility looks like a massive beach cottage and has an enclosed courtyard where ceremonies can be performed. The top floor has a lovely view of the ocean.
The cost is $30 for associates
and $40 for non-associates. For reservations, go to the website www.mbcoordinatingcouncil.com and click on Luncheon Reservations.
