                                     The Gifts of Giving and Being Thankful

 

What’s more PUNC than giving back and showing gratitude? This past week, our Council had the honor of sponsoring three thanksgiving community cleanups, working alongside Magnolia Ave Elementary School, Leo Politi Elementary School, and University Prep Value High School to keep our streets clean, safe, and vibrant for everyone in the neighborhood.

​

But that’s not all! We’re thrilled to announce that the median at Venice Blvd and Union Ave is now home to Pico Union’s very first California Native plant garden! 🌿 This is a major milestone in our journey toward sustainability and environmental stewardship. What makes this project even more special? The plants are truly one-of-a-kind native species, adding beauty and biodiversity to our community. Huge thanks to the Windmill Links Community Environmental Fund, CD1, KYCC, and Aurora Corona, PUNC’s Chair of the Quality of Life and Safety Committee, for helping make this vision a reality!

​

Next up: Mark your calendars! Our next Council meeting is coming up on Monday, December 2nd at 5:30 PM. It will be virtual and we're excited to offer Spanish interpretation services at this meeting. Our hope is to continue offering interpretation for all future gatherings. Your voice matters, and we want to make sure it’s heard!

​

And for some holiday fun, don’t miss our Holiday Movie Night featuring Elf at Normandie Recreation Center on Saturday, December 14th at 5 PM! Bring your friends, family, and holiday cheer for a festive evening under the stars. 🎬✨
