Pupusa Party!

This year for the Summer Fun meeting we have invited some members of the local Salvadoran community to provide refreshments and entertainment. This means fabulous pupusas and music. Everyone in Los Angeles benefits from the many, many ethnic cultures of people that settle here, and on July 17 we will learn at bit about the Angelenos that have immigrated from El Salvador. If you have not tasted Pupusas, you are in for treat; there will be both vegetarian and meat options. Come taste the food and drinks and catch up with your fellow Mount Washington friends and neighbors.

Panel Discussion – Siqueiros Mural

The City of Los Angeles has a history with this famous artist; we have a mural that he painted in the heart of the city.
