[Lapg] Agenda item for your organization to join the Alliance For A Livable Los Angeles

[Lois Arkin]

Dear Friends,
Once again, I am reaching out to you to urge your organizations to join 
the Alliance For A Livable Los Angeles 
<http://www.livableplaces.org/policy/alliance.html>.  There are no dues 
and no commitments required--just an opportunity to come together 
occasionally with other value-aligned organizations to change the city 
and the world!

I believe that we are all very much aligned with our commitment to a 
more liveable Los Angeles as defined in the Alliance's "Mission, Values, 
Goals" statement.  See 
http://www.livableplaces.org/policy/pdf/afllamission.pdf>

Perhaps those listed here go a little deeper in our stated commitments 
to sustainability.  By joining the Alliance, I believe we can be a very 
strong force for change.

You can see a partial list of the other members of the Alliance at the 
first website listed above.

Thanks for considering.

Lois

What is the future of green space in Los Angeles? An artist, a landscape 
architect, a public policy expert, and an architect will discuss how 
parks and recreation sites have evolved over the city's history and 
speculate on their future. Plans are currently in development for the 
Los Angeles State Historic Park and the Rio de Los Angeles State Park, 
with other projects being proposed for the Grand Avenue development 
downtown. How will Los Angeles recreate itself through these sites-and 
how might these sites be employed to teach natural and cultural 
histories to generations to come?
