Goodbye 45th Assembly District

Carol Jacques

For as long as I can remember, I have lived in the 45th Assembly District (AD)  I was born and raised in Chavez Ravine, grew up in the Mission Junction area of Silver Lake, and have also resided in Echo Park, El Sereno, Lincoln Heights, Atwater (before it was a village) and, now, in Mount Washington. 

Letter from the Editor: Enjoy Writing About Mount Washington? Send Us Articles!

Beloved reader, we here at the august offices of the MWA Newsletter know which way the wind blows, and with the election (or infusion, if you will) of new management-y blood, the wind blows towards change.

(2) Membership dues are difficult to extract with paper envelopes. Some sort of internet arrangement is required. See 1.

Bill Rumble

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party recently named MWA member Paul Ahrens "Democrat of the Year" in the 45th Assembly District. Paul received his award on August 27 at the Party's annual Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner at the Sheraton Hotel near Los Angeles International Airport. The entire Ahrens family attended the dinner. Paul's wife, Anne, beamed upon seeing his smiling face come up midway through the video tribute to all award recipients. Daughters Josie and Roberta cheered another photo which showed Paul at a rally. Paul's neighbors, Bill Rumble and Carol Jacques, joined the Ahrens Family at their table and cheered along with them.

Anna Carpenter

It has been a while since we pitched the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program; I don’t know about you but in hearing about the earthquakes on the “other side” of the US I thought of my need to re-check the emergency supplies and refresh my knowledge of preparedness.

David Fonseca

Just how much does the Highland Park/Mount Washington community support the Friends of Southwest Museum Coalition?

That very question led to a brief debate during a 'Friends' meeting at the Highland Park Ebell Club on Wednesday night, which ended in Mount Washington Association President Rob Schraff being ejected.
