From 11 AM - 1 PM on Wednesday, Dec. 16 the Whittier Chamber (8158 Painter Ave.) will be hosting an Open House to bid farewell to Chamber staff member Rebecca Bell. Although dissapointed to be leaving the Chamber community, Rebecca is looking forward to her January 2010 wedding with husband-to-be Mike, who is serving with the U.S. Army in Iraq. Rebecca and Mike will be relocating to their next military station in January.

All Chamber members are invited to the Open House to help us say goodbye to Rebecca! For information about the open house, call the Whittier Chamber at (562) 698-9554.

At 11 AM on Thursday, December 17, community members are invited to attend an open house and celebration of the Newlin Project (7916 Newlin Ave.). The Newlin Project is a partnership effort through the highly-acclaimed First Day recovery from homelessness program. The Newlin Project and its "Keeping Families Together" mantra were made possible through the generous support of L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe, the City of Whittier, the McCabe Foundation and PIH. A reception will follow at 12 noon at First Day (12426 Whittier Blvd.).

For information about the Newlin Project and Thursday's open house, contact Ted Knoll of First Day at (562) 693-4097.
