Happy Thanksgiving to All

Hello fellow San Fernando Valley CLCA members. It is now November and with it most of us are hopeful for a big family feast around the big table. I am very thankful for those SFV members who have remained active and supportive through Covid, and whose ideas and energy will ensure that 2024 is an even greater success than the year just ending.

I would also like to thank everyone who attended the Leaf Scholarship auction and donated or contributed. Auxiliary President Cindy Strauss and her team are very grateful and will put those funds to good use. Thank you to Rene Emeterio who stepped in as Auctioneer and did a fabulous job.

Dual Chapter Holiday Party December 2

Don’t miss our special Holiday Party and White Elephant Gift Exchange, set for December 2 at 6 p.m. It is a Dual Chapter event that will include both San Fernando Valley and Channel Islands Chapter members and friends. The party will be held at the Lucas Residence in the city of Somis. Bring a wrapped gift ($20-$30 value) for the White Elephant Gift Exchange, and an unwrapped gift (any value) for a child or mom at a local shelter. It will be a potluck event so bring your favorite dish. Click here to download the event flyer.
