From Sen. Carol Liu's office:
California State Senator Carol Liu, the Liu Crew of volunteers, and TreePeople will be planting trees on a residential street as a way of honoring the National Day of Service on Sept. 11, 2010.
In September 2009, President Barack Obama declared September 11th as the National Day of Service and Remembrance of the terrorist attacks in 2001. This day is marked by service projects in all 50 states with tens of thousands of volunteers turning out to paint and refurbish homes, run food drives, spruce up schools, reclaim neighborhoods, and support and honor veterans and first responders.
Liu, the Liu Crew, and TreePeople volunteers will plant Golden Trumpet trees along the residential street of Highland Avenue, nestled in the foothills of Altadena. “Planting trees is a wonderful project for National Day of Service,” said Liu, D-La Canada Flintridge. “By the end of the day we will have made a living contribution to the beauty and environmental quality of Altadena,” she added.
The Liu Crew is a group of community volunteers who aid Senator Liu in various service activities throughout the year in the 21st District. TreePeople is an environmental nonprofit that unites the power of trees, people and technology to grow a sustainable future for the greater Los Angeles community. For more information or to join the Liu Crew in future activities, please contact the district office or visit www.senate.ca.gov/LIU.
Liu represents nearly 850,000 people in the 21st Senate District, which includes Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Gabriel, Temple City, and several City of Los Angeles communities, including the NoHo District.
