LAUSD School Board District 4 Election

Sunday, January 25, 2009
Greetings,

As many of you know, I have made the decision to not run for re-election for LAUSD School Board District 4. The election to choose my successor is March 3. There are only two candidates remaining: Steve Zimmer, a teacher at Marshall HS and Mike Stryer, a teacher at Fairfax HS.

I would like to formally invite you to two events that I am hosting in coordination with the League of Women Voters of Los Angeles. These events will give you an opportunity to hear from both of the candidates so you can be prepared to enter the voting booth on March 3.

I have [included] information below. Please distribute to anyone who think would be interested.

I look forward to seeing you there,

Marlene Canter
LAUSD School Board Member, District 4

On March 3, you will have the opportunity to elect a new board member
to represent your child's school. Please come and hear the candidates speak about their priorities and their ideas for improving your child's school.

School Board Member Marlene Canter and The League of Women Voters of Los Angeles present a CANDIDATE FORUM with LAUSD District 4 School Board Candidates:

Mike Stryer, Teacher, Fairfax High School, and
Steve Zimmer, Teacher, Marshall High School

Eco-Waste Collection Event
Dear Mr. Handal:

I'm writing to you in your capacity as Chair of the West Los Angeles Neighborhood Council to let you know about an exciting environmental event coming up in February.

A coalition of educational, religious and cultural institutions located along Mulholland Drive have banded together for the second year to host an Eco-Waste Collection Event on Saturday, February 21st from 9 a.m. -
3 p.m.

This easy, drive-through event will take place in the parking lot of Bel Air Presbyterian Church, located at 16221 Mulholland Drive. Further details are contained in the attached flyer.

We would be delighted if you could share this information with your constituents. Together we can keep a significant amount of e-waste out
of our landfills and dispose of it safely and efficiently. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Leslie Mirman Geffen
