VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

This has been such a fun month! We are deeply grateful to Andres Pruna and Annabelle Sedano with Univision 34 Los Angeles. They put great effort into ensuring the accuracy and beauty of their story, putting Oscar and Cassy at ease, and giving Angelenos critical information to enhance our safety.

We know it can be grueling to think of all the challenges LA’s climate presents, particularly for those in LA’s most fire prone communities. We hope this newsletter can be counted on to bring you hope, quell fear and increase focus on where we can dig in together to improve LA’s resilience.

We grow our knowledge and gratitude when you engage with us in response – thanks to each of you who have provided that service this month. Wishing you a safe, fun end to summer!

Sincerely,

Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
