SAVE THE DATE: PLBRA BOARD + RESIDENTS MEETING Tuesday, August 1st 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm Park La Brea Theater Curious about the ADU's that were mentioned last month in PLB's financing press release? Wondering about parking enforcement and security issues now that PLB's new Patrol vendor is up and running? You're in luck. Both Prime VP Aryn Thomez and USG on-site director Dora Magana will be attending this month's meeting to answer your questions. The meeting will be held in-person in the air conditioned Park La Brea Theater. As always, all residents are welcome. Please note that we want this to be a constructive conversation, and will manage the meeting with that goal in mind. So grab your bottle of water, put on your good neighbor hat, and join us! ------------ Cool Off at the Academy Museum 6067 Wilshire Blvd. This week's slate of activities will please all ages, from the screening of Ridley Scott's PG-13 masterpiece Legends (introduced by master makeup Lois Burwell), to a music video workshop for teens, an accommodative music-focused screening of Finding Nemo - even a book signing by award-winning Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter. The Museum is the perfect place to cool off while enjoying the business that made LA famous. This Week's Calendar + Tickets ------------ Sign the PLB Non-Smoking Petition Guess what? We have a record of success with our petitions, which have helped move PLB to hire a new Patrol vendor and install secure entrance systems in the Towers. Now we're tackling smoking. The Park La Brea Residents Association Board went on record a number of months ago supporting PLB's transition to a non-smoking property. First step would be to remove smoking areas from common-area parks, which are in violation of PLB's own rules. Please sign and share with your family and neighbors. Our goal is 1,000 signatures - we're more than 20% there. Sign the Petition
