Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Friends of Atwater Village (“FAV”) has been working for years with L.A. City Council President Garcetti's office to try to get a park in Central or South Atwater Village. Recently the Council President met with Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (“SMMC”) to revisit a underdeveloped lot on Legion Lane as a possible site for a park.

Currently the property has a newly built never occupied two story house on it and a new road that could lead to two other homes if the privately owned project continues. SMMC looked at this site about 10 years ago but received neighborhood opposition so they took their dollars elsewhere.  The climate of the neighborhood has changed and our hope is that we can gain the support of Atwater Village residents that we need to show SMMC that we will embrace the project.

Please join L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy this Saturday, May 3rd - 11:00am at 3781 Legion Lane (off of Sunnynook by the L.A. River) to discuss a potential park at this location and share your input and ideas for such a park.

If you cannot attend the meeting please email your thoughts to favboard@friendsofatwatervillage.org.

You can also see photos of the site at: www.flickr.com/photos/lopitos/sets/72157603828580400

TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND SMMC’S ROLE IN THIS PROPOSED PROJECT, PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO VISIT SMMC WEBSITE  www.smmc.ca.gov read their mission statement then click on to visit your parks so you can see what type of parks they build.

As a community we need to be realistic and stay within the realm of what they do which are mostly passive recreation nature parks. We can not expect SMMC to take care of all the ill's of the river (graffiti, gangs, drugs, homelessness) only maintain and patrol what they build. The problems that currently exist will still exist whether there is a park or homes built.

FAV hopes that you can attend the meeting and also spread the word so there will be a good turnout of residents. This may be our last chance in Central Atwater Village for a park as it is the only open lot left. The owner of the property is a willing seller, SMMC is interested and CD13 is behind the project so most of the components are there. There is no guarantee that the project will materialize but it's certainly worth exploring.

A separate new "Family Stage" will be featured at the Lummis Day Festival this year to add top kid-friendly puppet theater, storytelling and music to the kaleidoscope of music, dance and art that will fill Sycamore Grove Park from 12:30-7:00pm on Sunday, June 1.

The Puppets and Players Little Theater and the We Tell Stories performing group will be featured on the new stage. Other performers will be announced soon. MC's for the Family Stage will include KPFK's Fidel Rodriguez and personalities from KMEX, Univision 34.

We Tell Stories is a multi-ethnic community of artists who educate and nurture young audiences by reconnecting them with the ancient powers and wisdom of storytelling and theater. Performances by the We Tell Stories group blend storytelling and audience-participatory theater to bring world folklore, fairy tales, literature, legends, and mythology to life.

Puppets and Players Little Theatre creatively re-invents the ancient art of marionette theater with masterful marionettes, colorful stage sets, exquisite lighting and state of the art sound that all combine to leave a lasting impression of puppetry at its best. Their performances, which combine classical marionettes, hand puppets and live performers, are presented on a beautifully crafted European-style marionette theater-on-wheels.

The third annual Lummis Day: The Festival of Northeast Los Angeles, will be presented by the Annenberg Foundation and the Autry National Center and will celebrate the diverse cultures and history of the L.A.’s Arroyo neighborhoods with June 1 events--free and open to the public--at Lummis Home and Sycamore Grove Park. Performers--all with roots in Northeast Los Angeles--will include nationally and regionally celebrated artists performing in Spanish, English and Tagalog.

Information on the Festival and its programs is available at www.LummisDay.org

The Northeast Youth Job Fair is an event whose simple goal is to facilitate employment among Northeast area youth, and give some their first chance at employment. Although most adults have outgrown their first, second, or third jobs, there are many employment age youth in the City of
Los Angeles who have not found their first job yet.

The event is scheduled for May 10, 2008, 10am-1pm at the Glassell Park Community and Senior Center at 3750 Verdugo Road.   Event partnersinclude the Los Angeles City Attorney's First Chance program, Jewish Vocational Service, the Mayor's Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development, Councilmember Ed. P. Reyes, Councilmember Tom LaBonge, Council President Eric Garcetti, and Councilmember Jose Huizar.

The Northeast Youth Job Fair is free to the public. It focuses on presenting youth-friendly employers who are open to employing individuals between the ages of 16-24, or individuals with little work experience.

The event will feature a KROQ music booth, and raffle prizes of movie tickets, Dodger tickets and gift cards. Individuals from Public Counsel and Homeboy Industries will also be available to provide information on background related and expungement services.

The Mayor’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2008-09 calls for a cut of $5.19 million dollars from the Los Angeles Public Library system budget – a 22% cut from last year’s budget.  The cuts will affect the budget for new books, staffing and hours of operation.  Our libraries serve all age groups, ethnic groups and special interest groups in our respective communities.  The Los Angeles Public Library and Friends of Atwater Library are asking for your help in preserving the much needed monies for the library system.  We are asking that you, members of your family, friends and neighbors send a letter to the Mayor and the City Council (click here for sample letter / email, pdf file) restoring the 2007-08 budget so the libraries can continue to buy books, maintain staff and hours.

Hello community members,

At some point, we all received our first chance at employment with that one business willing to take a risk on someone with little work experience. Although most of us have outgrown our first, second, or third jobs, there are many local employment age youth who have not found their first job yet.

For that reason, the City Attorney's Office First Chance program is partnering with Jewish Vocational Service in addition to the Mayor's Office of Gang Reducation and Youth Development, Councilmember Ed. P. Reyes, Councilmember Tom LaBonge, Council President Eric Garcetti, and Councilmember Jose Huizar to create the 2008 Northeast Youth Job Fair. It is scheduled for May 10, 10am-1pm, at the Glassell Park Community and Senior Center at 3750 Verdugo Road.

As active community members, the organizing partners are asking for your help in facilitating access to the program. For example, organizations can help get the word out, or facilitate transportation of their youth members to the event. We can use volunteers as event staff, or business sponsors for the employer hospitality brunch. Also, don't be afraid to talk to us if you have other collaboration ideas.

For further information about how you can get involved, please see the attached information letter, employer outreach flier, and youth outreach flier. You can also obtain further information by contacting the Northeast Neighborhood Prosecutor Community Resource Specialist, Armida Bayliff, at 310-575-8548, or via email at armida.bayliff@lacity.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
