Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council August 2024: Issue #24-8 | |
Welcome to the August 2024 edition of the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council's (SONC) newsletter, the Ziff Flyer. | |
|
Due to a logistical licensing issue, we have had to change our August movie in the park and will now screen the film, Minions The Rise of Gru. The date and time, the evening of Saturday, August 17, remain unchanged from before and we look forward to seeing you there. A Back to School Backpack Giveaway will precede the event at 6pm, limited to the first 30 students only.
July's Barbie Movie event was another wonderful night in the park and it was really nice to see the community out for a fun evening. I greatly enjoyed spending another event working alongside SONC 1st Vice President Howard Katchen, Treasurer Jeffrey Hartsough, Secretary Stacey Segarra-Bohlinger, Outreach Committee Chair Kylee Peña, Outreach Committee Members Neal Roden and David Silverman, Board Members Christy Adair, Thelma Mericle and Dylan Shea, and future Board Member Carter Ranshaw.
Thank you for your continued interest in and dedication to the Sherman Oaks community. Please stay safe and be kind to one another.
With Pride and Determination—
Lindsay

What is a Neighborhood Council?
The Neighborhood Council system enables meaningful civic participation for all Angelenos and serves as a voice for improving government responsiveness to local communities and their needs. We are an advisory body to the City of Los Angeles, comprised of stakeholder volunteers who are devoted to the mission of improving our communities.
Neighborhood Councils advise the Mayor, City Council and City Departments on the City budget and will give local residents greater say over the decisions that affect our lives. You can view a brief video explaining what Neighborhood Councils do and what it means to be a Neighborhood Council member here. |
