a message from ccla

Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation sweeping across our city. We urge our community to take every precaution and stay informed during this time. Let’s come together to support one another and show the true grit that makes this city so extraordinary. As Angelinos and Cornelians, we are resilient, and we will emerge from this stronger than ever.
