Recently, I was trying to come up with a unique gift for my husband. I had this idea of getting a portrait painted, not anything formal, something fun. I mentioned it to a friend, and she suggested that we reach out to Margaret Garcia, a prominent local artist and see if there was a possibility that she would paint our pictures. As background, Margaret is famous for her portrait blocks – that were most recently exhibited at LACMA.

Please remember to bring just a small non-perishable food donation to every meeting to help the local needy. A little bit from a lot of people adds up and makes a real difference in practical terms and lets people know that our community cares. If you would like to donate a larger amount please contact me and I will arrange for pick-up or you can drop it at my house. Caring about neighbors is a big part of what makes this community special.
