Elizabeth Joins a BYU Tradition

,

Last week Elizabeth walked for her BYU degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development. :yes: Carla and I joined her in Provo. She now works for a living. :frown: Appropriately, she's a Development Assistant at D.I. See some more photos of her in cap and gown by clicking on Photos above and looking in the BYU Grad 2009 album.

Adopt a Child Abuse Caseworker (ACAC)

, ,

Carla is our ward representative to the Adopt a Child Abuse Caseworker (ACAC) program. Along with other groups including churches, the La Crescenta Stake participates through the wards. The last project was supplying Easter baskets for children in shelters. The ward members contributed many baskets, and Carla collected and assembled them with help from Charles and other family members in our living room before the county social worker arrived to take the baskets and distribute them.

Hooray for Hollywood

,

Our ward Scouts recently completed a movie, so they wanted to invite some film professionals to the bishop's fireside tonight at our home. We featured two Art Center graduates who belong to the ward and spoke about their ongoing film careers. Drew, our ward mission leader, creates the TV ads for, among other things, the Apple iPhone. Drew says it costs about $2,000,000 to produce a typical iPhone TV ad.

Rod, who serves on our Activities Committee, was the Director of Photography for New York Doll. New York Doll was shown at the Sundance Film Festival and has received good reviews. Carla and I have seen it and recommend it. You can get it from NetFlix, but Rod said Deseret Book as an edited version that has two bad words deleted. The little kids would probably be bored anyway, but teenagers and above should enjoy it. It's about "Killer" Kane, the bass guitarist for the New York Dolls.

The first and middle name of Rod's kids are Indiana Jones and Rodrick David, who goes by R2.

Annual Glendale Community Thanksgiving Celebration

,

Tonight Carla and I went to The La Canada Congregational Church (formerly The Church of the Lighted Window) for this "interfaith" celebration of Thanksgiving, sponsored by the Glendale Religious Leaders Association. Our stake has participated with the association for the past 10 years or so. There always seem to be more Mormons attending than those of any other group. The affiliations of participating congregations tonight were Jewish, Congregationalist, Methodist, Baha'i, Islamic, Scientologist, Adventist, and Baptist. Hugh Riggs, Aaron Hagerty, and Kip Weber sang Come, Come Ye Saints, very nicely.
