Felippe, Gabriella, Diego and Matteo Marques hosted the first get together of “The Little Green Giants” a parent and child organization in Country Club dedicated to helping the environment.  Their activities will include raising awareness of neighborhood environmental issues, providing an opportunity for kids and parents to meet and get to know one another, educating around issues like litter,  recycling, water and energy efficiency, sustainability and more. They will also organize supervised neighborhood litter clean up and tree and flowering events. They have begun making plans for Earth Day next April 22nd and organizing speakers.  They met September 14th to discuss healthy food.

Efforts to bring the Historic Planning Overlay Zone (HPOZ)  to Country Club are well under way.  The Cultural Heritage Commission endorsed the effort and the  City Planning Department  is showing its support by allowing CCP, Wilshire Park and Windsor Village to be jointly adminstered under one preservation plan and Board.
