Author: Reynier Village Neighborhood Association

The Reynier Village Neighborhood Association continues the popular  tradition started in 2005 of organizing summer park nights, where RVNA members are invited to meet each other in person, chat, eat and have fun.  Residents interested in joining RVNA are welcome.

In 2016 RVNA held 4 dinners in Reynier Park
Wednesday July 13: Pizza from The Coop. Cookies from Fred’s Bakery.
Wednesday July 27: Italian pasta and salad from Bella Roma. Fruit tray.
Wednesday August 10: Argentinian Empanadas from Empanada Factory.  Cookies from Grand Casino.
Wednesday August 24: Chinese food from Fu’s Palace. Dessert from Dolce Isola.

Our thanks to Board Members: Elisa Leonelli, Hector Garza, Mike Diamond, Angelica Hess, Anabel Aispuro, Dan Halloran, Edgardo Perez, Block Captains: Roe Weiss, Michael Rozales, and all RVNA members and guests who attended.  Your volunteer help and support is much appreciated.

We held a Board meeting on Saturday June 11, 2016, hosted by Anabel, board member and Holt Street Block Captain. Mexican food from Campos on Robertson was served.  We were joined by Michael Rozales, Reynier Ave Block Captain, Frank Shelton, who was elected to the SORONC Board as Organization Representative for RVNA, Linda Theung, who ran for a At Large seat, and out of a crowded field of 15 candidates, she was not elected.  We invited her to run for the RVNA Board at our January 2017 elections, after she moves into her new home on Gibson.
We discussed the possibility that Verizon might sue the City of LA for denying them a permit to build a cell tower at 2512 Robertson, the illegal dumping problem in the alley between Cattaraugus and Bedford, the alley at the end of Garth and the Garth underpass, our support of SORONC efforts to convince LA Park and Recs to enforce regulations at Reynier Park, require permits to reserve space for large picnics.  We confirmed our commitment to host 4 summer park nights for RVNA members in July and August.

We held our annual membership meeting on January 9, 2016 at new local restaurant Asian Fusion on Robertson. More than 150 RVNA members were invited to join the RVNA Board and Block Captains to discuss the direction of RVNA for 2016 and celebrate RVNA accomplishments for 2015.

In 2014 RVNA contacted Herb Wesson’s office and the SORO Neighborhood Council for their help in petitioning LAPD and LA City Departments to install NO Overnight Parking for Oversize Vehicles in the Cattaraugus and Garth underpasses.  This was accomplished and campers are no longer parked there.  RVNA regularly monitors the illegal dumping of large items in our streets, reports it to LA Sanitation and to SORO NC LandUse Committee.  We also report homeless encampments to our Councilmen’s offices.

Please check the HFPA history page of our website for more information.

The RVNA 2016 Newsletter was printed by SLB Printing on Robertson, and distributed to our 20 Block Captains to deliver to every home in Reynier Village.  Read it below.

RVNA Board, Block Captains and volunteers gathered in the lovely backyard of Casa de Amigos for a brunch meeting.  Mexican food from Campos on Robertson was served. Dates for this year’s Summer Park nights were confirmed: July 15, 29-August 12, 26.  We will get food from restaurants that worked well for us in previous years: Pizza from The Coop, Argentinian Empanadas, Mexican from Campos, Italian from Bella Roma.  7 board members (Elisa, Hector, Angelica, Edgardo, Anabel, Andrew, Dan) and 2 block captains (Mike & Roe) volunteered to help organize this popular neighborhood event in 2015.
Friendly realtor Dan May will again coordinate our annual RVNA yard sale: Saturday September 26.
Thanks everyone for supporting your Neighborhood Association.
