Finally. After years and years of asking the City trimmed the dead palm tree fronds off the palm trees on the Culver Blvd. walking path. The improvement is striking and adds so much to the the path's enjoyability.

Thanks to everyone for keeping up the pressure on the City to make this happen. And thanks to CD11 office team for seeing this through as well. Stay tuned for more path improvements in the coming months.

Del Rey Neighborhood Council President Eric DeSobe joined teachers and parents at ICEF Vista Charter School to kick off the "Vista Literacy Project." The Del Rey NC Board voted at its February meeting to purchase new books for middle school students to encourage a love of reading and to outreach to the ICEF Vista community. Special thanks to ICEF Vista teacher Gustavo Cubias for his project plan and execution. He first came to the Education Committee to present his project and eventually spoke in front of the full Board. Learn more about the Education Committee here if you're with a school community and have a project that needs support.

Del Rey Neighborhood Council members and the community joined together Feb. 16 to beautify the Culver Blvd. walking path by re-staking our increasingly taller trees planted last year. With help from Ballona Creek Renaissance members all trees west of Centinela have new stakes and less weeds. Stay tuned for the date for the east side of the path.

Minutes from Thursday's General Board meeting now available. See new business item 8B for full review of Board discussion and motion that passed with 8 stippulations. The discussion will include Board member questions and answers from the Green Dot representatives.
