TRANSCRIPT
This is a busy month for the LPCA Board. Elections will be held this month at our March 15th meeting. We currently have two vacancies on the board and several incumbents hoping to stay on the board. Later in this newsletter, we are sharing with you the members who are running for board positions. I hope that you will come join us at the March meeting and vote for theses candidates. There will be no board meeting in April, but the Board will be meeting at a Saturday retreat to fashion a Business Plan for the new year and tune up our organization as needed. It is also a great way to bring our new board members up to speed. You don’t have to be a board member to participate in the Association. I encourage anyone who is interested to attend our Committee meetings or volunteer to help at the many events we have planned for this Spring. Just contact the Committee Chairs identified at the end of the newsletter. Your President,
L. Steven Winlock

Citrus Harvest Success By Stephanie Duncan
Continued on Page 2
Over 130 volunteers pitched in on Saturday, February 18th to pick nearly 5,000 lbs. of citrus from homes in the Land Park area to the Pocket. Volunteers from the LPCA, Harvest Land Park, Harvest Sacramento, Harvest Hollywood Park, Hollywood Park Neighborhood Association, Sierra Service Project, and Soil Born Farms met at Centennial United Methodist Church to form groups and head to area homes. Each group harvested fruit at three homes, where lemons, oranges, grapefruit, kumquats, and other citrus were aplenty. The citrus picked was delivered to Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services to provide nourishing fruit to those in need.
The citrus harvest is one way that the LPCA is helping to combat hunger in Sacramento, where there are 242,000 food insecure residents in the county. That means 1 in 5 Sacramento adults and 1 in 4 children lack access to enough nutritionally adequate food for an active, healthy life.
This important community service project of Soil Born Farms, also called the edible city initiative, has taken on the work formerly done by Senior Gleaners. It arranges for teams of volunteers to come to people’s homes to pick their citrus fruit, leaving part of it for the residents if they wish, and donating the harvest to Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. If you would like to volunteer for a future harvest, which take place almost every weekend, or would like to donate the fruit from your trees, contact Soil Born Farms at (916) 363-9685 or through their website https://soilborn.org/.
Continued LPCA members visit ArtStreet
By Stephanie Duncan
On Sunday, February 19th, LPCA members were provided the opportunity to visit ArtStreet, a temporary art installation that utilized a combined 65,000 sq. ft. outside and within a warehouse at the corner of 1st Ave and 3rd Street. ArtStreet is the second exhibition coordinated by M5 Arts, the non-profit collective behind Art Hotel 916 in Downtown Sacramento last year. Over 100 artists and performers took part in the ArtStreet project, which had the theme of “street”. As visitors meandered through the pathways within ArtStreet, they encountered various types of art that included video, audio, storytelling, photography, mixed media, music performances, puppetry, sculptures, paintings, and much more. Also created was the West End Club, a glimpse into the world of Sacramento's lost neighborhood, where 127 bars could be found in twelve blocks. Nightlife, dining and entertainment of all sorts could be had in a short stroll, alongside the shops and homes of our city's most diverse neighborhood. A variety of performances and screenings were available to ArtStreet visitors each night at the West End Club.
ArtStreet served to fulfill one of the tenets of M5Arts, to broadly provide access to art in a non-institutional context. ArtStreet ran from February 3-25, 2017. The Land Park Community Association was an ArtStreet sponsor.

There are 100 trees that may be removed in the course of this project, many of which are along the cloverleaf of Riverside and Sutterville near I-5 freeway. PG&E has an exemption to remove trees that may otherwise be considered heritage trees since they can state that project is needed for public safety.

Assembly Update: Refugees in California By Assemblymember Kevin McCarty
In recent years, many refugees have come to California — Sacramento County alone welcomed 3,261 refugees escaping war and persecution last year. In addition, more than 37,000 Iraqi and Afghan nationals have been granted Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) to live in the U.S. Many of them helped or were employed by the U.S. government (often as translators), and fled fearing reprisals against their families. Refugees and SIVs face numerous barriers assimilating, including finding employment in their occupation. Many have difficulty determining which parts of their education and work experience are applicable to California’s different licensure requirements, forcing them to work completely different jobs. I’ve introduced a bill — AB 349 — which requires the Department of Consumer Affairs to assist and expedite the licensure process for people with SIVs to ensure their experience and education are applicable to professions in California. Also, because there is literally no place else they can call their home, another bill of mine — AB 343 — would make refugees with SIVs eligible for in-‐state tuition and state financial aid. This would ensure that these students are able to pursue their education, rebuild their lives, and improve the lives of their family. While the number of affected students is small, the financial consequences for each are significant. These new Americans have overcome enormous barriers in order to pursue a decent education and an honest job. They shouldn’t be forced to forego their life goals, or compromise their ability to contribute to California’s economy. For more information, visit me at: Asmdc.org/McCarty
