Dear Board members, We want to thank you for supplying the funds that will enable one of our students to enjoy one week of camp at the Science Center this summer. Jacqueline Hamilton has provided us with the scholarship form. We have given it to the student's parent who will fax it to the proper place.
You requested that someone from our school as well as someone from the student's family come to your monthly meeting tomorrow evening. No one can come because of such short notice. We heard about this wonderful opportunity last Weddnesday. That is just to short a turn-around to select a winner and do the required things.
Hopefully you will do this again next year. Please let the schools in area know at least 4 weeks ahead of time.
Again, thank you for this wonderful opportunity for our student.

Hello,

I am a community organizer with the Community Coalition and I'd like to get on the agenda for your next meeting on June 6, 2013. My organization is organizing a grand opening for a produce stand that will sell organic and locally grown produce on the corner of 39th & Western. We want to personally invite your board to the grand opening and invite other residents from your network. To reach me, you can call me at (213) 281-8357

Our Name

The early Eighth District Empowerment Congress, created by now Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas was a community-based education and mobilization program. It has been acknowledged as the model for the Los Angeles citywide neighborhood council system created by the change City Charter.

We still proudly carry the early moniker in our name as the 'Empowerment Congress North Area Neighborhood Development Council'.  You may call us NANDC for short!

Our Community

NANDC is located in West Adams, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, with most of its buildings erected between 1880 and 1925. It was once the wealthiest district in the city, with its Victorian mansions and sturdy Craftsman bungalows home to Downtown businessmen and professors and academicians at USC. In the 1990s, three areas of West Adams were designated as Historic Preservation Overlay Zones by the city of Los Angeles, in recognition of their outstanding architectural heritage.
