Hi Chino Valley!

I think something is going around. I mean, I guess it is flu season? Three people around me have been super sick, including myself. If you saw a weird person at the Eastvale CVS last week, that was probably… not me. Are you kidding? My health insurance deductible is $8000 (I’m not kidding) so I try to brute force any illness with soup and Netflix.

truly, the world has a meme for every situation.

I heard the best way to cure a cold is reading through your entire issue of The Chino Chew. It’s proven with science*.

Let’s get into it.

*obviously not real science… don’t fight me…

Only 16 Tickets left!! Hang out with fellow Chino Chewies at a Wine Tasting! 🍷

We’re partnering with Argonza Cellars to host our very first event — a wine tasting sip social!

  • 📆 When?: November 13, Thursday, 6-8 pm (or until the party’s over)

  • 📍Where?: Argonza Cellars, 13788 Roswell Ave Suite 166, Chino.

  • 😄 What?: Meet your new local friends, drink some great wine, have a great time.

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Who?: You! But there are only 25 tickets open, so hurry!

We kept the first event intimate and small, perfect for fall. Only 16 seats open out of 25 total tickets, so grab them before they’re gone!

Check out our wonderful sponsors who made this event happen!

Here are some things that happened around us, in 60 seconds or less:

Business & Development

  • ⚖️ Court ruling could invalidate Chino's housing overlays and halt Eden development—overlays can't meet state housing requirements if base zoning doesn't allow residential use.

  • 🏪 Chino Valley Business Expo was held Saturday. Local businesses & vendors gathered around the Spectrum Center to show off their services. Can’t wait for the next one!

Community

  • 🏫 U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal ruled for the second time that the Chino Valley school district cannot open board meetings in prayer.

  • Ayala Park batting cages will be closed for upgrades!

  • 🎾 Tennis season is starting! Click here for more info.

  • 👯 Kid’s dance classes for hip hop, ballet, and others open! Click here.

The Bulletin

  • 💼 Looking for a Job? Check out The #1 Chino Valley & Inland Empire Job Board! This week, we also added jobs in Riverside, Temecula, and Moreno Valley.

  • 🏪 Are you a business looking to hire? Post your job opening directly on our job board.

Poll Results — We said YES to Dinner Club!

🍽 We’re cooking up something fun — a Chino Valley Dinner Club. Over 80% poll responses were open to coming at least once (but hopefully you’ll stick around after meeting awesome local friends)!

It would be small groups of 6 locals that meet up at restaurants close to them, like Chino, Chino Hills, Eastvale, or Ontario. No pressure to always come, just attend whenever you want.

And guess what?! There would be a sneaky code for singles, so that it doubles as a singles event 😉 Nothing worse than having to awkwardly check someone’s left hand for a ring or asking roundabout questions like “So… where is your partner from? Oh, you don’t have a partner? *fakes being surprised* Oh wow I had no clue….”

Find your friends, find your tribe, and potentially your true love 💕

If you’re a restaurant owner / manager and want to make sure we meet at your place, shoot me an email: [email protected]
