1. TREE PLANTING EVENT IN HWPOA – SATURDAY
Join the fun! Everyone is welcome!
The Holmby Westwood Green Team’s first parkway tree planting is scheduled for Saturday, January 26th from 9 AM to 12 Noon. Trees will be planted on Manning Avenue between Hilgard and Malcolm and in the 700 block of Malcolm Avenue. Councilman Paul Koretz, whose office has been helpful to our effort, will join us to inaugurate the planting. Tree People volunteers will plant the trees and we welcome neighbors’ help and good cheer. Please let us know if you will join us by emailing Marnie (mossbodek@msn.com) or kathryn (khowe.kwh@gmail.com)
For safety, streets will be closed 8 am to 1pm: Manning Avenue between Hilgard and LeConte; and Malcolm between Glenmont and Manning.
This should be a fun and exciting event for Holmby Westwood. The Green Team plans to work with neighbors and Tree People to replant 300 of our missing parkway trees. Please see the HWPOA website for information: https://www.holmbywestwoodpoa.org/?page_id=1301
2. LAPD CRIME REPORT
BURGLARY FROM VEHICLE
Incident #: 190804795
10800 BLOCK LINDBROOK DR | 1/20/2019 @ 10:30 AM
2ND STORY BURGLARY PREVENTION
Please remember the importance of securing your 2nd story doors and windows and make sure you include the 2nd story in your game plan when equipping your residence with an alarm system (preferably one with a system of instant notification to your smart phone).
Keep in mind that most of these burglary suspects are young, males, and while it seems impossible for us to imagine anyone being able to climb up to your 2nd (or even 3rd) story, it’s actually very common and seemingly way too easy for them to do so. Detectives, via their interviews with arrested burglary suspects, have discovered that burglars often believe that if a house is alarmed, the 2nd story is often not included in the alarm system and it makes it a desirable entry point into your home.
Also, let’s make it as hard on them as possible. Please remove ladders, lawn furniture, large planters or any other items that they can use to climb on and access your 2nd story. You must look at your home and yard and actually “think like a bad guy” who is trying to breach your home. Where are your points of weakness or vulnerability? Where can they secrete themselves and be most secluded? What can they climb on?
3. MOVIE PREMIERE – STREET CLOSURES
The Joe Lewis Company is coordinating the arrivals for the premiere of “What Men Want”, to be held at the Regency Village Theater, on Monday, January 28, 2019.
There will be various sidewalk and street closures around the area of Broxton Avenue between Weyburn Avenue and Le Conte Avenue.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact event coordinator, Mary Pat Kasravi, at 818-402-1073.
4. FELLOW RESTAURANT – NOW OPEN FOR DINNER
HWPOA would like to support local businesses. Fellow (www.fellow.la), which opened last year in the heart of Westwood Village, has expanded to full service including dinner and cocktail service.
Fellow’s dinner cuisine is described as “modern contemporary with a soulful edge; a melting pot of global influences” showcasing a true New American counter culture to nouvelle cuisine. Items on the menu include Ora King Salmon Tartare, Calamari Kung Pao, Sumac Dusted Crispy Spanish Octopus, and a Red Wine Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek.
Fellow’s cocktail program showcases classic cocktails with modern twists, utilizing interesting and fun ingredients along side a sophisticated local beer and wine offering.
Fellow is housed in one of the first buildings ever constructed in Westwood, the location of the legendary Moustache Café. Chef Michael’s dessert menu will even include a take on the Moustache’s famous Chocolate Soufflé.
Fellow is located at 1071 Glendon Avenue, LA, CA 90024. For more information, visit www.fellow.la and please follow @fellowlosangeles for further updates.
