Hello Highland Park!
Welcome to your weekly digest of what’s happening with the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council. What a great week we had celebrating the holiday season with our neighbors and community stakeholders! The Santa Giveaway and Photo Op on Saturday, the Lummis Home Holiday Noise, and the Highland Park Christmas Tree lighting on Sunday were all a big success. I had a chance to address the crowd at the tree lighting and seeing all the faces lit up with happy, hopeful holiday spirit was definitely the highlight of my holiday season so far!
With exception to a couple committee meetings, the neighborhood council is pretty much done with our official business and events for the rest of the year. As always, we continue to be available for inquiries and questions, and you can always reach us through our website if you need anything at all.
Our next regular board meeting is Thursday, January 5th. 2017 promises to be awesome for our wonderful community. Until then, read on to enjoy some recaps of recent events, and other helpful links and articles.
Peace,
Harvey Slater
Your HHPNC President

Holiday Noise at the Lummis Home (El Alisal)
|
|
HHPNC participated in the Lummis Home Holiday Noise event! This event honored the authentic history of the Arroyo Seco communities. Charles Lummis used to refer to his parties as a “noise” hence the name of this event. Thank you to the Highland Park Heritage Trust, Occidental College, and other historic preservation champions for including us in this event.

The City of Los Angeles Neighborhood Council
Budget Advocates needs you!
|
|
The Budget Advocates are a committee of concerned citizens that represent the voice of LA’s taxpayers . Co-chaired by Jay Handal and Liz Amsden, the main goal of the Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates is to amplify stakeholder concerns by bringing them to the attention of City Council, Committees and Departments to encourage approaches that will both balance the City’s budget and improve communication between City departments and the best interests of the people of Los Angeles.
As a taxpayer and upstanding resident of our City, your input is vital and they want to hear from you.
They need your active participation because you, every one of you, are the heartbeat of the City and we are your voice.

Thank you to everyone who came out to help us light up the Highland Park community Christmas tree! We had so much fun, and Santa Claus paid us a visit! He showed up in an LAPD squad car! For a minute we thought the police had arrested Santa, but they actually dropped him off with a super huge bag full of presents for all the kids. We can’t wait to do this again next year!
Special thanks to Council Member Huizar’s office for leading the production of this event. (see photo below - click on image to see a larger version.)

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!"
