As part of the Big Sunday program of volunteer projects, La Casita Verde is hosting a cleanup of the surrounding sidewalks and parking lot on the morning of May 2. The clean up area includes the walkway above Figueroa bordering LCV, the Casa de Adobe, and the apartments in our area, and the small parking lot next to the Southwest Museum Gold Line station. A play yard is available for families with small children, (but obviously one parent would need to supervise, if we are all working!). And snacks will be on hand to keep the volunteers energized.

The Recession in Northeast L.A:
The May meeting of the MWA general membership will feature an update from
the Mayor's office and Council District 14 on the impact of the current economic
crisis on our community and the outlook for the near future.

We’ll also have a Lummis Day preview with Emmy Award-winning public television host, NPR commentator and
poet Ruben Martinez, UC Irvine Professor Angela Garcia, and acclaimed poet Suzanne
Lummis.

The meeting is open to everyone. Refreshments will be served.
