1. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – CADET TUTORING
The LAPD Cadet Program is a community youth program to help instill discipline, leadership, academic excellence and life-skills in all youth participants. The Junior Cadets are elementary and middle school kids who are interested in becoming cadets, and participate in the program.
The Junior Cadets meet at 5:00 PM on Tuesdays at the West L.A. Municipal Bldg. (Corinth near Santa Monica). They are in need of volunteer tutors to help the kids with their homework.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact Dick Greenblatt at 310-474-4052.
2. HELICOPTER NOISE
There’s a new website where you can track active helicopters in flight over Los Angeles and register a noise complaint. The legislation to regulate the private air traffic over neighborhoods is stalled in Congress, but maybe charting complaints is a step forward.
To register a noise complaint, please click here or call (424) 348-4354.

SEEKING DRY CLEANER
I need a recommendation for a good dry cleaning service that picks up & delivers in our neighborhood. (Unfortunately, the one I having been using for the past several years has become too unreliable).
