びびなび : ロサンゼルス : (アメリカ合衆国) Los Angeles

Dear Friends,

This week, I went to Sacramento for a public roundtable hosted by the County, where we met with the L.A. Delegation of State legislators to discuss the County’s priorities for disaster relief efforts. I advocated for direct support to fire-impacted communities, investment in economic development, and the need to rebuild housing, infrastructure, and gathering spaces that are part of the fabric of the community. I also met with Governor Newsom to advocate for these issues and reaffirm my dedication to partner as we rebuild. Throughout every step of the rebuilding process, I will continue to work with all levels of government to ensure we draw down as many resources for our Altadena community as we can. Residents deserve our unwavering collaboration and commitment.

Best wishes,
Kathryn Barger
Chair of the Board
Supervisor, Fifth District

We've seen so many stories of resilience in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire. In this month's issue of Business Life, you can get an inside look at some of the residents and local leaders who are helping the community move forward. Take a look at the issue, including my op-ed, at the link below.

Last weekend, the Department of Arts and Culture (https://www.lacountyarts.org/) held a special conservation clinic for Altadena residents at the Armory Center for the Arts (https://www.armoryarts.org/) to repair and restore fire-damaged art and heirlooms. Attendees brought artworks, photographs, stuffed animals, collectibles, ceramics, jewelry, textiles, and other cherished belongings that survived the fire for professional volunteer conservationists to assess, clean, and repair. It was a very moving event that provided tangible help to residents.
