Dear AADAP 'Ohana, 

We are saddened to hear about the acts of violence that has impacted the AAPI community this past weekend.  One of Los Angeles County's largest Asian populations is located in Monterey Park. It is tragic that this incident happened on the eve of Lunar New Year, the most significant event in many AAPI communities. 

Filing deadline is coming up very soon for neighbors and stakeholders who want to be be a candidate on the Sawtelle Neighborhood Council election.
