Save the Date: Holmby’s Annual 4th of July Parade and Picnic
The 4th of July  falls on a Thursday this year.  As usual, we gather at 10 AM at Warner School for the parade down to Holmby Park.
Join us to catch up with neighbors, enjoy the patriotic spirit, and celebrate how lucky we are to live in Holmby!   We're getting sponsors on board to make this the best event ever.

Our parade Grand Marshal has been named!   He represents tradition and has been a legend in Westwood since 1965. His hard work is appreciated by every generation, especially our kids.  Please welcome our
2013 Grand Marshal...

Stan Berman of Stan's Donuts!!

Contact us if you have ideas or if you’d like to help plan the festivities athwpoa@aol.com

Your parade leaders: Esther Magna, Caron Schwartz, Rachelle Guerin, Rochelle Glucksman


#2.   DUMPING TRASH ON  THAYER.

A resident in the 700 block of Thayer reports that for some weeks, someone driving south on Thayer on Friday nights  has been throwing out trash from the car, including IN and OUT burger bags etc.  If anyone in the 600 or 700 blocks has a front security camera, can they check it and advise if anything shows up as to who might be doing this.


#  3.  BONE MARROW  DONOR WANTED.

You may recall the recent search for a donor for Toni Gray, a long time HWPOA Board member.

David Hekmat (Mary & Robb's) asked if we would send this out to our members.  Sandy agreed.   This boy is from a very prominent family in England and they haven't been able to find anyone in Europe.  So, they are trying to cover the states.

The email request was received too late for the  donation center email address if interested you can contact their donor email listed below.

 # 4.  PROPOSED  LA CITY MURAL ORDINANCE

The City Council will soon be taking up revisions to existing Municipal Code regulations regarding installations of wall murals.  The effort to amend the existing regulations date back some years and was quietly passed by the Council Planning and Land Use Committee.

Most recently it was proposed that such wall murals not be allowed in R1 zones and certain sized multi family bldgs.  At present the proposed ordinance fails to specifically restrict wall murals in  single family zones.  The proposed ordinance is complex and community groups throughout the City have reacted negatively to the Ordinace revisions and the potential to open  such murals to potentially broader site locations including R` zonea.

The HWPOA Board will be reviewing the proposed Ordinance and  it's expected, will file a written objection to a  Mural Ordinance that would allow wall murals on single family homes.

# 5.  NEW COUNCIL DEPUTY PENDING.

Sarah Mallory, the HW and Westwood area deputy for Councilmember Koretz is leaving in mid  July for New York to pursue further education.  Sarah has done a terrific job handling various Holmby Westwood issues.  We will miss her and wish her the best in her new adventure.
