MINI Festival Car Wash to raise money for L.A. Works! - August 2nd
The MINI Car Company is producing festivals in several cities this year for MINI enthusiasts/friends/family and the general public. The Los Angeles MINI Festival will be taking place August 1st through 3rd at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and will involve live music, booths, and various other activities.

One of the many activities will be a car wash in which 100% of proceeds will go towards a selected nonprofit cause. L.A. Works is proud to be the selected nonprofit and excited that the additional funds raised will allow us to continue our strong regular programming.

We need your help though. Our staff is small and can't possibly wash the 100-250 cars that we expect. We are hoping that our base of volunteers can help us out with this fundraiser. The car wash will take place from 12pm until 6pm. We need volunteers to fill two three-hour shifts: 12pm to 3pm and 3pm to 6pm. Volunteers will be working in teams of two. All supplies will be provided, just remember to wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and wet and bring sunscreen and a hat!

So come out, take part in the festivities, meet new people, play with water, and help L.A. Works continue to put on meaningful programming through Los Angeles.

LET'S READ
Pueblo Del Rio

Our Summer '08 session of Let's Read has just opened! Let's Read is a program whose purpose is to provide kids with the tools to help them reach their dreams. We work individually and as a group with kids' school-related materials as well as try to expose them to other topics that they may not otherwise encounter. If you like kids and wish to develop a relationship with one or a few of them, this might be a program for you.

Volunteers in this program must commit to the full six week session on consecutive Saturday mornings from 10:00 a.m. - noon. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
