Los Angeles
Environmental Change-makers

We've out grown this space!

Please join us at our new Website:

www.EnviroChangeMakers.org

.

Our circle of Environmental Change-Makers holds monthly meetings in the Westchester area of Los Angeles.  We offer speakers and topics promoting real life actions to bring society (and our city) to a more Sustainable existence.

We meet on the 4th Thursday of every month, 7-9 p.m., in the Community Hall of the Church of the Holy Nativity, Dunbarton at 83rd St., (6700 West 83rd Street), Westchester 90045.  All meetings are free, although a small contribution to the church would be welcome in thanks for the generosity of using their hall.
