Thirty-two people attended the August 22 Board Meeting including nine board members and the management team. Topics discussed include rainwater catchment plans being developed for Baldwin Hills, an art show event in the Clubhouse, custom white board purchases, and committee personnel updates. By Marie Germaine, Court 12 Baldwin Hills Elementary School (BHES) is proud to be in its 80th year of successful public service to the Baldwin Village community. Since 2016, the school has been obliged to share space as a Proposition 39 co-location (shared campus) with a charter school. In response, Village Green families and supportive neighbors formed Neighbors in Action for Baldwin Hills Elementary School and joined BHES teachers, parents, and other neighbors in advocating for BHES to become a charter-free campus. Supporters wrote letters, signed petitions, spoke at LAUSD board meetings, and met with LAUSD officials and local and state representatives. By Molly O’Brien, Court 14 Court 14 resident Asantewa Olatunji was sworn in on May 3rd as a commissioner for the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA). She had been nominated by Mayor Karen Bass. The DCA promotes arts and culture as a way to ignite powerful dialogue and ensure that LA's varied cultures are recognized, acknowledged, and experienced. Olatunji has been an integral player in shaping the cultural landscape of Los Angeles for 30+ years as General Manager and Director of Programming for the Pan African Film + Arts Festival (PAFF). She originated PAFF’s annual fine arts show, which attracts an estimated 75,000 people annually. Closer to home, in summer 2021 Olatunji facilitated the VG Cultural Affairs Committee's screening of To Sleep with Anger and subsequent conversation with the film's renowned director, Charles Burnett. "I am thrilled and excited about this appointment,” she said. Congratulations, Asantewa!
