Dear Friends,

Many of you know that I am a San Gabriel Valley native. My career in the county began as a Fifth District intern working with constituents in the Pasadena field office. Today, I spent the whole day in Pasadena, beginning with a hike in Eaton Canyon.

The Eaton Canyon Nature Center (http://www.ecnca.org/)  is a wonderful, educational resource and has displays, live animals, and an auditorium. I was joined by a great group of nature center volunteers, avid hikers, members of the Sheriff's Department and staff from the Department of Parks and Recreation.

When I was running for office, I made a commitment to spend time in our communities on these beautiful hiking trails. This was my second hike as supervisor, and I can't wait to explore more areas throughout the Fifth District.

Best wishes,
KATHRYN BARGER
Supervisor, Fifth District
Door of Hope

I was so honored to tour Door of Hope (https://doorofhope.us/) , a homeless services nonprofit in Pasadena that successfully helps families exit cycles of homelessness. Their team works to restore parents and children physically, emotionally, and spiritually, equipping them with the skills they need to support themselves once they graduate from the program. I especially loved hearing from Wendy, the first client to ever become a Door of Hope board member. She now maintains a full time job and lives locally with her three children.
Community-based programs
Thursday evening, I participated in a panel at the North Los Angeles Regional Center discussing health care, disability services, affordable housing, transportation and many other important issues. I joined Assembly members Chris Holden and Adrin Nazarian and Los Angeles City Council members Mitch Englander and Bob Blumenfield. It was a pleasure to share what we're doing in the county and hear how our partners in the state and city are complimenting our efforts.
Granada Hills

I truly admire Granada Hills Rotary Club's dedication to their community. We spoke about critical issues including public safety, public health, mental health, and homelessness.
Transit Talk
On Wednesday, many of my conversations were focused on the future of transportation in Los Angeles County.

In the afternoon, I went to Santa Clarita  for our transportation summit, which brought together Metro, Metrolink, CalTrans, and our partner cities in the North County. We have a lot of exciting projects coming up in the SCV and AV and I appreciate opportunities to have an open dialogue with experts in the field.

I joined Metro Los Angeles in the evening for a telephone town hall to discuss their $6.6 billion budget. I really enjoyed hearing from callers and answering questions about the ways we're productively stewarding their tax dollars.
Cuteness overload

There are few things cuter than cub scouts holding a puppy. Thanks to Troop 114 for stopping by our office on Tuesday! I'm also so thrilled that the puppy was adopted afterward!
Honoring their memory
The community is invited to join us as we commemorate the Armenian Genocide next week during our Board of Supervisors meeting on April 10. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration.
