Beautification Committee

This committee, chaired by Margaret Lohfeld, is dedicated to maintaining the beauty of  our neighborhood. Each year we utilize dues money to purchase, plant and maintain the historic Deodar Cedar trees which line Los Feliz Blvd.

On a regular basis board members, along with neighbors, homeowners and friends clean up trash from problem areas, remove illegally posted signs and paint out graffiti. New Los Feliz resident volunteers are always welcome to pitch in. Clean-up days are always Saturdays, from 9 am to 12 noon, with lunch provided afterwards. Watch for the dates and contact information to be announced in the Calendar section.

Please see "Cleanup Queen to Retire Her Gardening Gloves", about Margret Lohfeld's last clean-up.

Here are some pictures of the February 3rd, 2007 Clean-up:
