f. The Entertainment industry Foundation (EIF) will hold a community project
on Saturday, September 14, at Hillsides Home for Children in Pasadena
- one of EIF's beneficiary organizations. Founded in 1913, Hillsides continues
to provide children suffering from abuse and mental illness a "safe
place" to call home. Entertainment industry members will volunteer
their time to beautify the campus by gardening, planting and sprucing
up the grounds; painting a basketball court, hopscotch/tether ball areas
and a bike path; and assembling picnic tables and chairs. The day will
be dedicated to the late David and Lynn Angell - victims of 9-11 who lovingly
supported Hillsides Home for Children. David was the producer of "Frasier".
We will be celebrating the Angells by carrying on their commitment and
legacy of service to Hillsides. EIF will also coordinate a book drive
throughout the entertainment industry for Hillside's Lynn Angell Children's
Library and their Altadena Family Center's Library.
EIF is proud
to be a part of Connect LA's Unity Through Diversity Festival and the
national initiative for Americans to volunteer in the memory of those
lost on 9-11. EIF will be registering our project with the Points of Light
Foundation Unity in the Spirit of America (USA) Initiative website in
honor of the Angells. (Please note: This event is not open to the public.)
