2. SAVE HILGARD – SIGN THE PETITION
Sign the petition if you haven’t already:
https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-on-agora-the-900-hilgard-high-rise
Save Hilgard Avenue is a growing group of homeowners, renters, students, and other stakeholders who have one goal: Decline both the 16 story and 8 story proposals for the Agora.
All 4 Westwood Neighborhood Associations and the Westwood Neighborhood Council unanimously voted against the Agora High Rise.
Be aware that the “Agora” developer team is door knocking in Little Holmby and approaching people at Holmby Park; tell them we are all united in opposition.
Email with any questions: savehilgard@gmail.com

3. SECURITY – KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS
To help develop a greater sense of community and security, it is a good idea for you to know your immediate neighbors.
We suggest that you get the phone number (or email) for your neighbors: next door, on both sides, and across the street. You could even get the phone number of the people who live directly behind you.
Sharing contact information is a great way to interact with those who live closest to you. You can notify neighbors if their garage doors are open, their car or house alarms have gone off, or water is seen flowing out of their home (and they can do the same for you). In addition, when neighbors are out of town, you can help each other by taking in their mail or newspapers.

“How to Look at Architecture” at the Skirball Cultural Center. This is a series of four classes (Wednesdays, March 6, 13, 20 and 27, 1:30-3:00 pm) which will include short documentaries on architecture’s “basics,” on Frank Lloyd Wright and Organic Architecture, and on Bruno Zevi’s thinking. They will also encompass seven short documentaries (for a total of 120 minutes) with visual observations on “what makes cities great?” recently filmed in Paris, Berlin, and Rome.
Expand your awareness about the spaces—streets, buildings, and open public spaces—of Paris, Berlin, and Rome. Each session begins with a new short film documentary produced by the instructor, followed by interactive class discussions about exploring architecture with a mission, conceiving open spaces for people, and rethinking the city.

GROUP FOR PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC LUNG CONDITION
I host a meeting every other month for people with chronic lung conditions other than TB or cancer. It’s a very informal support and information group, free of charge, which has been ongoing for about 15 years. The meetings bring together people who all share a common health problem, so we can feel completely comfortable talking about our lung issues in a warm, supportive environment. Each of us has a history of diagnosis, treatment, and day-to-day experience that is very helpful for answering our questions and getting the benefit of people’s personal experience. Even with the best of doctors, this is an invaluable service.
We are affiliated with a national non-profit organization, NTM Info & Research (NTMir), formed on behalf of patients with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease for the purpose of patient support, medical education, and research. The organization comprises patients, physicians and other medical practitioners, and researchers.
Our group is open to all and the next meeting will be on Monday, February 25, at 1:15 p.m., at my house, 641 Warner Avenue, in Westwood.
Please feel free to contact me for more information. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting you!
