The Following is a press release issued by the Wilshire Center Business Improvement Corporation:
Hundreds of people from the business, residential and non-profit communities of Los Angeles will gather at the LAPD Olympic Station to conduct a Peaceful March Against Crime and Drugs. The march will leave the Olympic Station (1130 S. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90006) at 10:00 AM led by City and State politicians and community leaders. The march will head northbound on Vermont Ave. to Olympic Blvd., then westbound on Olympic Blvd to Normandie Ave., then
northbound on Normandie Ave. to northbound on Irolo St., until hitting San
Marino St. at which time the march will proceed westbound until coming to a
stop at the Seoul International Park auditorium (3250 San Marino St., Los
Angeles, CA 90006).
This event is being organized by the Unification of Disabled Latin Americans (UDLA), the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) and the Wilshire Center Business Improvement Corporation (WCBIC). The purpose of this march is to bring together all ethnic groups of Los Angeles to unite in one force in the fight against crime, drugs, gangs, and graffiti. Assisted by the LAPD, participants will carry signs, flags, banners and chant out against crime and criminal activity in English, Spanish, Korean and Bengali. This march will bring out the best in Angelinos and represent what happens when people unite for a cause for the common good.
Once participants arrive at Seoul International Park there will be sense of fun and camaraderie as everyone will mix and mingle in the auditorium while they enjoy listing to a few words from our elected officials, community leaders and police officers. Refreshments will be served and everyone who participates will receive a goodie bag. Participants will then have the option of boarding a shuttle van to return to their car or walking back. Parking at the Olympic Station will be limited to street parking so participants are encouraged to carpool to event starting point.

From our friends at NECA…
You are VERY welcome to join this Saturday’s meeting of NECA — the North East Central Alliance of Neighborhood Councils. Free to attend, it’s Saturday, March 27 from 10:30am-12:30pm, at the Glassell Park Community Center, 3750 N. Verdugo, Los Angeles, CA 90065. The special speakers are L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti, Board of Neighborhood Commissioners Vice President Albert Abrams, and Jack Humphreville, president of the DWP Advocacy Committee. They will appear one after the other. We’ll hear about and discuss such crucial topics as the city’s budget crisis, the status of DONE, and the controversial proposed “ECAF” rate hikes associated with DWP. There will be Q&A, of course.
NECA meetings are open to the officers and other board members of the many Neighborhood Councils in the Central and East areas, and to stakeholders and other guests from throughout the city. Alliances such as NECA are NOT governed by the Brown Act, in part because generally, alliances do not solicit or attract that level of representation from any one NC. But we always urge appropriate sensitivity, common sense and responsibility regarding such matters, in particular when any individual NC has many members present. Motions can be made as part of a NECA meeting, though none are presently scheduled for this Saturday.
An Alliance is a great way of building a shared voice and common purpose. NECA is NOT about conquering territory — it’s about developing relationships and helping each other in local and civic causes. In our brief history, we’ve enjoyed meetings that have been provocative, informative and hopefully transformative, but we’ve also sought to be supportive, or at least respectful, and not belittling toward each other and our guests. To this meeting, we’re inviting current board members, but also newly elected ones who are not yet in office, and even some whose status may be in doubt: a later NECA meeting, but not this one, will be focused on ways to examine and improve NC elections.
I hope you’ll contact me with any questions or comments, and an RSVP is especially useful. Our meeting is scheduled to start at 10:30 and end at 12:30 but might last a bit later, in part to accommodate some folks who may try to attend other meetings, but also because we expect some great discussion.
Thanks again - Paul Michael Neuman (also, co-chair of Silver Lake NC) / pmneuman@yahoo.com

From the Mayor’s office:
Attached is a flyer for the “Make the Homeless Count Sock Drive” taking place from February 14th to March 14th. Many of the homeless in our communities lack basic necessities including socks. The City of Los Angeles will organize events on Tuesday, March 30th to support the U.S. Census Bureau’s Homeless Enumeration program in order to boost the homeless count and deliver socks, food, and other much-needed items.
Download the flyer here: Sock Drive Flyer
Please pass this information on to your family, friends, colleagues, and contacts within the community so that we can ensure that EVERYONE gets counted in the 2010 Census! Thanks!
