The People's Fleet Helps Mark Horvath and Path Achieve Glendale Get Homeless out of the Rain
This week Los Angeles received record rainfalls. Media says it's the worst rain to hit Los Angeles in over a decade. The Winter Shelter system was kicking thousands of homeless people out into the nasty weather. Mark Horvath, the founder of InvisiblePeople.tv [http://invisiblepeople.tv] and outreach case manager for PATH Achieve Glendale [http://achieveglendale.org], used the power of social media to keep the National Guard Armories open during the day [http://bit.ly/hBJr0K and http://bit.ly/gOai7h] The People's Fleet lent Mark and PATH Achieve Glendale a Ford Fiesta to help with their work fighting homelessness.

ELACC: What is an Event Without an Invitation?
First we made a flier, then we made a mailing request, then we made copies, then we printed our mailing labels, then we made more copies, then we folded the copies, then we stuffed them in envelopes, then we closed the envelopes, then we placed the mailing labels on the envelope, then we stamped the envelopes with our logo, then we put postage on all the envelopes and finally we dropped them off at the post office in the ford fiesta. that is what we call a mailing.
-
ELACC: Teatro Character Development
Who needs professional actors when you have community actors. All we need is some sketches and character development. El libro: the studios bookworm. El Parque: the muscular, informative, helpful know it all. La Muerte: evil, liar and comedian. El martillo: the hammer, a depressed guy, treated badly by life, unemployed. Community actors add their own spark and make teatro so much fun.
-
ELACC: Picking Up Members for Teatro Practice
When we ask members for ideas on event planning. They usually say lets have a theatre component. i usually hesitate because its a lot of work. Then, I think and realize that teatro is usually what people respond to the best. Its fun, its creative, its educational and it brings the community together. After breaking my head to write a teatro piece based on their ideas I needed the members( aka: the stars) to be picked up for our first practice.

Friday - Ford Fiesta drove us to Camp Scott detention camp in Saugus
On our fifth day, Friday, October 15, 2010, the Fiesta drove us all the way up to Saugus, 64 miles to and from our office, to visit Camp Scott. This is a detention facility for around 80 teenage girls who are incarcerated for a variety of crimes. Mentor Penny Scott initiated a second Newsletter Workshop in which the girls share their poems, essays and ideas in a magazine that is distributed to all of the girls there, family and staff. Create Now brought balloons, snacks and drinks to celebrate the girls' participation. Director Cheryl Jackson also shared her appreciation of the programs we've brought to the camp and to Oprah's Angel Network for the grant that allowed us to provide this program.

Thursday - Ford Fiesta zips us from South Central to Hollywood
Create Now is honored to have been one of 8 organizations in Southern California selected by Ford Motors to participate in "The People's Fleet" campaign. We were loaned a Ford Fiesta car and two Flip cameras for one week to show how their vehicle helped us with our programs. On our fourth day, Thursday, October 14, 2010, Founder and Executive Director Jill Gurr went to Downey in South Central for training by the Department of Probation in how to mentor incarcerated youth. She then met the landlord of Create Now's new office downtown to sign the lease and went over renovations needed before our move on November 5th. From there, Jill drove the Fiesta to Mac Hollywood to drop off her broken computer. In the evening, she visited Aviva Family & Children's Services in Hollywood (a group home for 40 teenage foster girls who have been abused, neglected, abandoned and orphaned) to evaluate our Creative Writing Workshop (funded by Oprah's Angel Network) with mentor Inga Hanson. Aviva's Volunteer Coordinator Johanna Susal also talks about the program.

Create Now is honored to have been one of 8 organizations in Southern California selected by Ford Motors to participate in "The People's Fleet" campaign. We were loaned a Ford Fiesta car and two Flip cameras for one week to show how their vehicle helped us with our programs. On our third day, Wednesday, October 13, 2010, we visited Baby2Baby, a charity in mid-city that donates gently-used baby equipment, clothing, toys and supplies to needy families. We packed the Fiesta with stuff: a highchair, swing, bath, stroller, car seat, bags of clothing, toys and lots more. Then we drove down to Compton (around 24 miles from our office) to surprise our mentees Demond and Virginia Nelson who are expecting their baby girl Destiny next month. Since these two youth didn't have anything for their new arrival and no car or money to buy necessary supplies, it was a terrific surprise.

Monday - Ford Fiesta takes us to Phoenix House in Lake View Terrace
Create Now is honored to have been one of 8 organizations in Southern California selected by Ford Motors to participate in "The People's Fleet" campaign. We were loaned a Ford Fiesta car and two Flip cameras for one week to show how their vehicle helped us with our programs. On our first day, Monday, October 11, 2010, we received the car and went to Phoenix House (substance abuse rehab center for 100 teenagers) in Lake View Terrace, around 60 miles from our office. Learn about our Creative Writing Workshop with Emmy-nominated screenwriter Ron Osborn (funded by Oprah's Angel Network) and our Graphic & Web Design Workshop organized by our AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer Emily Schuck, taught by graphic designer Danny Caudillo.
