Howdy Neighbor!
Welcome to your weekly email digest of all things HHPNC!
This week we are excited to announce that there is an opening for a sought out seat on our board of directors! This position opens up from time to time and when it does, YOU have a chance to step up and serve your community.
It is also BUDGET TIME on the HHPNC, so the Executive Committee will be meeting this week to draft up a budget for our new fiscal year, that is starting this month. If you are curious about, or have input regarding how the neighborhood spends its little chunk of cash from the city of Los Angeles, you are more than welcome to come, listen to the discussion, and provide a public comment to articulate your concerns and thoughts.
Read on to learn more about what else is going on in the neighborhood this week. We look forward to seeing you at a meeting or event soon!
Peace,
Harvey Slater
Your HHPNC President

Avenue 50 Studio invites you to participate in Trees of Life!
June 21-25, 2017
12pm-8pm
From Avenue 50 through Avenue 60
Trees of Life is an Avenue 50 Studio production in collaboration with L.A.N.I., and supported by the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council, and the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation and Community Arts Resources as part of Vision Zero.
“Vision Zero is a city(nation)wide initiative that makes safety the highest priority of our streets. Every year, more than 200 people are killed while trying to move throughout our city. Nearly half the people killed on our streets are those who were walking or bicycling, and an alarming number of them are children and older adults. In fact, traffic collisions are a leading cause of death for children in Los Angeles.”
Vision Zero: zero traffic deaths on our streets by the year 2025!

Fourth of July doesn't need to rock the animal world.
|
|
Fireworks scare our furry friends and "pop pop pop" will send your pet running away.
Please make sure your pets have their id tags and are microchipped. Keep them inside at night from now until after the Fourth of July holiday. We know Highland Park likes to rock their fireworks way before the 4th holiday.
And do report illegal fireworks anonymously with Crimestoppers!

6th Annual Make Music LA Registration is Open
|
|
|
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action).
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
|
|
|
|
Everyone needs comforting this year more than ever. We have community members who are living in fear. You can help to alleviate some of the tension in your neighborhoods by embracing the arts. Music is a healer. Make Music LA is an outreach opportunity to bring people out of their homes onto the front porch or into a park or community garden for a concert. Registration is now open.
