BCNA Annual Meeting Reminder 

 

Monday, February 11, 2013 at 7 p.m. at the Beachwood Cafe, 2695 Beachwood Drive (Courtesy of owner, Patti Peck!).

 

Meet our new Senior Lead Officer, Nicole Montgomery (Maggie is out on medical leave). Sharon Shapiro from Councilmember Labonge's office will share some of the recent projects that our council office is working on.

 

Updates will be given on our efforts to get a helicopter flight rule in place and on the lawsuit to stop the Hollywood Community Plan.

 

As is our custom, we will be asking the community to assist in building an action plan for Beachwood Canyon. We know you have concerns so please bring your own list of priorities.

 

We will discuss a couple of proposed bylaws changes. We encourage members in good standing to come and vote on these changes. All members have received an invitation in the mail.

 

Our boundaries go from the Hollywood Sign south to Franklin, east to Canyon, and west to Vista Del Mar. If you are not yet a member, please go to our website and click on Membership and please download the Membership form on that page.

The following are running for reelection to our board:

Jack Fitzgerald, Gower
Mary Anne Nelson, Dearborn
Fran Reichenbach, Westshire
Nina VanTassell, Glen Holly
Gary Wilmes, Vista Del Mar

Cheremoya Planting - a Success!

 

The Hollywood Orchard reports:

 

Recently, the Cheremoya school planted four fruit trees, donated by The Hollywood Orchard, and veggies, filling up the planters built at the school improvement event last month. John Allen delivered the trees and assisted with the planting: He says, "It was inspiring because the kids were so enthusiastic. They all seemed to love the idea of eating Tangerines, Apricots and Cherries!"

Many thanks to Tomas O'Grady of Enrich LA and The Cheremoya Foundation for creating that amazing event. At this event, planters and picnic benches were constructed and the foyer and front hallways were repainted. 

Additional thanks to The Cheremoya School and the children for all the fun, and for giving us somewhere to place our care.
