This is your second reminder that we meet at The Red Onion this Friday. Please join us on Friday at noon to enjoy lunch and fellowship. We don't have a formal program but think it's important to maintain our community during these tough times for LA. If anyone wants to share a story or a solution about the fires please let me know and I will add it to the agenda.
Also, please think about if you'd like to join in on helping with our new fundraiser. Details are being set and it will be a fun event to plan and attend.
We are back to regular meetings at PVLD on January 24th for Kristina Kirkwood from Harbor Interfaith Services.
