Intergenerational Daycare |
|
ONEgeneration's Intergenerational Daycare Center celebrated Mardi Gras last month by participating in art activities together. Each child and senior decorated their own Mardi Gras masks using markers and feathers with a little help from each other! In honor of Valentine’s Day, the children and adults gathered together to create cards for their loved ones, explore Valentine themed playdough, and discover new flavors while enjoying a special charcuterie board treats consisting of crackers, fruit, cereal bars, and goldfish! In celebration of Lunar New Year, the preschoolers and their older adult “neighbors” explored a Lunar New Year themed sensory bin learning new textures and symbols used in the celebration such as gold coins. They also created beautiful zodiac calendars after learning about the various animal imagery. In honor of Black History month, the children and adults created a collage that honors different inventors, artists, and athletes. |

EV Program New Year Rebate |
|
As of January 1st, it has become more affordable to purchase an Electric Vehicle thanks to new federal and local rebates that will become available. If you are interested in purchasing a used Electric Vehicle, ONEgeneration also has some limited grant money to assist low-to-moderate income families with their purchase. Combined with Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, state and federal rebates, you could be looking at a very affordable price, much cheaper than a gas car.
To see if you qualify, please contact Environmental Projects Manager, Juana Torres at 818-708-6603 or by email at jtorres@onegeneration.org

An ITIN is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
It’s for anyone needing to file taxes and claim tax benefits that doesn’t qualify for a social security number. ITINS are issued regardless of immigration status to help individuals comply with U.S. tax laws.
Although ITINS are for tax purposes only, they can help undocumented individuals establish a financial history, obtain a driver’s license, open bank accounts, apply for loans, and secure financial aid for college. By filing taxes, individuals can often receive refunds for overpayment of taxes and in California, ITIN holders are eligible for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) and the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC).
ITINS ARE FREE and the IRS will NOT share your information with Immigration Authorities
Did you know that ONEgeneration can help those who have questions about who qualifies for ITIN, how to obtain an ITIN, and where to go to file for an ITIN? For information in Spanish, please click here or call (818) 350.3105. For information in English please click here or call (818) 738.9927.

My Hearing is Not Perfect
a poem by Norman Molesko
What did you say?
Face me!
Please say it again!
Clearly. Slower. Louder.
I want to understand you.
I know you said something to me.
It may not be what I heard.
May not be what I think you said.
My hearing is not perfect.
Not all sounds are clear to me.
Not all sounds can be heard by me.
Some sounds are difficult to hear.
Please repeat what you said?
Clearly. Slower. Louder.
I need to understand what you said..
