World Food Program: "Malnutrition is not only about food - it's about the right food at the right time. In 2011, WFP provided more than 11 million children the necessary, nutritious food they needed for a... bright and hopeful future - but there is more to do and we can't do it without you" http://fwfp.convio.net/site/R?i=Iv4jy6LKIx62N8dr3qydOA

Excerpts from the E Police Newsletter: Theft and Burglary theft from Motor Vehicle is one of the highest occurring crimes in the West Los Angeles. An automobile is not a safe or secure place to leave any valuables whether locked or unlocked. If any property is left unattended in the car, even for just a few minutes, it will be stolen! Even something as simple as a small sun glass case, an empty backpack or gym bag will cause your car window to be smashed resulting in hundreds of dollars in damage alone.

Hello! This is Bruin Mobile Works, the non-profit group that does web development for First Szechuan Wok. To contribute to public education, we plan to donate an electronics kit to local schools, containing a DIY sensor that translates light into sound. The circuit comes pre-assembled on the breadboard, plus a guide to transistors which form the "brain" of the circuit. Your patronage and support of this business has made this effort possible. Thanks so much!
