We usually meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM. Our meetings have been on Zoom in recent years but we may transition back to in-person meetings, which will be held at Belmont Village (on Wilshire at Warner Ave.).

We encourage all Board members to join one of our committees, which include: Security, Green Team, Westwood Village, Traffic, Holmby Park, Architectural Supervising Committee, 4th of July event, Filming (in the neighborhood), Membership, LAPD liaison and more.

Please contact Dana Glenn, our Office Manager, and let her know that you want to join our Board. Send an email to hwpoa@aol.com or call (310) 470-1785 to contact Dana. The deadline for submissions is March 18. We look forward to hearing from you!!

5.  L.A. MY311 WEEK

This week is LA My311 Week!

The City of Los Angeles’ MyLA311 system serves as a vital conduit for linking residents and businesses to City services and information. Currently, MyLA311 provides access to 68 service request types across 11 City departments, addressing commonly requested services such as bulky item pickup, graffiti removal, and illegal dumping.

City Council offices have been invited to engage in a friendly challenge aimed at generating the highest percentage increase in service requests.

If there are service needs in your neighborhood, now is the perfect time to make a 311 request and help your Council District win this year’s MyLA311 challenge!
