 This just in! We have officially received funding to offer our full-day (9am-3pm) summer program at our science studio. This means that we can offer our summer program to your students for FREE!!! We will be offering the program for the month of July, but because it is free, we will only allow students to attend ONE of the 4 weeks. I will be coming by your schools this week to drop off fliers in your box (2 pages: Page 1- cover page with graphic front and back Spanish and English, and Page 2- registration form front and back English and Spanish). They are also attached to this email. I only ask that you please provide stapled copies of the fliers(front and back, English and Spanish) to your students grades 3-7. Students are asked to fill out the form and mail it to us with a one page essay about what they would like to learn at our summer camp (a great in-class end of the year activity!). We are so excited to be able to offer our programs to our most dedicated schools, so thank you for helping us bring higher science education to your students! Let me know if you have ANY questions. More information will arrive to students and their families as soon they register.

My name is Laura Nutter and I am apart of LAecosalon, and environmental organization helping to put together the Venice Greenerfest, a festival happening this Saturday May 15 in Venice.

Waste management is going to be a large feature of the day, and we are proud to say that we are very close to being a zero waste event :) We will have 5 waste stations located through out the festival and will need one or two volunteers at each to help educate and explain to attendees how to dispose of their waste properly. Our team leaders will be there to help educate each volunteer to be able to do this.

Friends and neighbors:
I welcome several new community members to this email list, and I thank
them for volunteering to join the effort. Here is the latest news about
the family's condition and the upcoming Meier Street fundraiser:
1. Maria and Luna were released from the hospital Sunday and are
recovering well. Luna is staying with friends close to her school and
Maria is staying with her sister-in-law in the Lancaster area for the
time being, as it is closer to the burn center and she still needs
assistance throughout the day. It is hoped that Luna will be able to
start back to school next week, and Maria is considering living spaces
on Meier Street so she can be close to her neighbors and friends. We
are grateful to all those who have offered housing and it is hoped the
family will be reunited soon.
Unfortunately Jose's fragile condition is mostly unchanged; he remains
heavily sedated at the burn center where he underwent some skin and lung
treatments yesterday. Our thoughts are with him as he struggles to recover.
2. Both the family's cats have now been located and are being tenderly
cared for. They are still understandably skittish but are being fed and
monitored.
3. THE FRIENDS OF LUNA WEBSITE http://www.friendsofluna.com is now
up and operational! It contains updates on the family's story as well
as a PayPal donation link for those who'd like to contribute funds
online and information on donating to the family's trust fund by check
(see below.)
4. ONLINE DONATIONS: If you would like to donate directly from your
PayPal account, debit/credit card, or direct bank withdrawal, you can
either hit the button at the bottom of the http://www.friendsofluna.com
page, or--if you don't already have a PayPal account--you can go
PayPal.com and "Sign Up" for an account. Once you've created an
account, hit the "Send Money" link and enter donate@friendsofluna.com as
the destination email address for your contribution. That money will be
deposited into the trust account set up for the family. Thanks to Sarah
for getting the website and online donation links happening, and so fast!
5. DONATIONS BY CHECK: For those who would prefer to write a check to
the trust account, make them payable to "The Estigarrivia Albertini
Family Trust" and mail directly to John P Ziaukas, Attorney at Law,
12011 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 530, Los Angeles, California 90049
for deposit. Jose, Maria and Luna are the sole beneficiaries of this
account and we are grateful to John and Loren for arranging it.
6. DONATIONS FOR MEIER STREET FUNDRAISER, 3/27: We are seeking 1)
DONATIONS OF NEW ITEMS, GIFT CARDS, AND GIFT CERTIFICATES to be sold at
the live auction or given as game prizes, and 2) DONATED GOODS TO SELL
at the multi-family garage sale. Please contact Jennifer Hemsley
if you have new items you'd like to donate.
Though logistics of sale donations have yet to be finalized, to
minimize the need for storage space before the sale we are asking those
who donate to bring the stuff to Meier Street the morning of the sale,
unless there are large or valuable items that need special handling.
Please contact Jennifer if you have questions and to RSVP--we need to
have an idea how much stuff will be coming at us so we can figure out
the easiest game plan for everyone.
7. WE WILL SOON HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE and hope you will "Friend" us!
Please assist the donation and publicity effort by spreading the word
through your social networks. We'll send that info when the page is live.
8. MARCH 27TH DATE FOR MEIER STREET FUNDRAISER CONFIRMED. Plans are
afoot for a live auction at 1 p.m., a Meier Street Kids Bake Sale,
face-painting and henna artistry, games, music, and more! Please
contact me, Elizabeth Oakes, if you'd like to
donate services to the fundraiser; we would be especially grateful for
musicians, street entertainers, photographers, and others who are
interested in donating their time or services to help raise funds. WE
ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR A FOOD TRUCK TO PARK AT THE END OF THE STREET AND
DONATE A PORTION OF THEIR TAKE TO THE FAMILY. Other ideas are welcome,
please drop me a line.
9. Finally, thanks to our local Mar Vista quilters who have offered to
donate quilts for the family. These quilts are made by volunteers and
are given to those who need comfort in a time of need, and they are a
beautiful and meaningful gift. I have not been given the quilters'
names, but they know who they are. :) We are grateful for the work of
their hands and their hearts.
Please feel free to forward this email and/or repost information to your
websites, blogs, or Facebook/Twitter accounts. We need all the help and
donations we can find, so please spread the word!
If anyone you know would like to be added to this update email list,
please have them email me at marryme@marriagetogo.com. THANKS, more
news as plans develop.
Kind Regards,
Elizabeth Oakes
