- Face painting, help with art activities for younger kids – beginning at 10:00 am

It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s a wonderful way to begin the celebration!
We also need volunteers to assist the day before, picking up cookies at Costco. We would be so appreciative if you could help!

3. DMV UPDATES
California Real ID – One Year until Enforcement
The DMV reminds Californians there is now just one year remaining before the U.S. Department of Homeland Security begins enforcing the REAL ID requirement. Starting May 7, 2025, a REAL ID, or other federally approved identification, will be necessary to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities.
To apply for a Real ID, visit:
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/real-id/
DMV Innovations – Skip Office Visit to the DMV
The Department of Motor Vehicles is making it so easy for Californians to take care of business as part of its customer-focused digital transformation that the DMV will no longer process simple transactions in offices that can easily be completed online or through other convenient options.
Starting June 3, the DMV will only process the following transactions through alternative, out-of-office options:
- Simple vehicle registration renewals that are not past the due date.
- Driver’s license renewals that do not require an in-person visit.
- Requests for copies of vehicle registration records, which show a vehicle’s ownership history.
- Requests for copies of driver’s license records, which show a driver’s history.
- Replacing a lost or stolen driver’s license/identification card.
There are some transactions that require an in-office visit, like finalizing a REAL ID application. The DMV encourages customers to start their application online to limit the amount of time it takes to complete the process in an office.

COLLEGE STUDENT SEEKING SUMMER INTERNSHIP
Hello Holmby Westwood!
I am a rising Junior at Brandeis University, double majoring in Psychology and Public Health, and aspiring to eventually pursue a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I am currently seeking a summer internship related to the field of mental health, but I am also expanding my job search to include my personal interest in the entertainment industry (such as film studios, music labels, etc).
I have experience in office administration, research, and peer counseling, and am interested in roles in HR, Marketing, Studio Operations, Publicity, and Artist Management.
I would love to connect with anyone who might have leads or advice. Thank you for your support!
