All are Welcome, from "Newborn" to "Rated R"
Citizen Hunters, I recently learned of a great opportunity to help the Children's Hospital Of Los Angeles (CHLA). A dear friend told me that CHLA recently upgraded its rooms from VCRs to DVD players, and they are in desperate need of a DVD library for the children and their families to enjoy.
CHLA is a 331-bed, non-profit, private pediatric treatment center located in the heart of Los Angeles. Each year, the hospital cares for over 200,000 inpatients and outpatients from birth to 21 years of age, referred from throughout California and the world.
After speaking with CHLA's fundraising department and receiving their approval, Tina Manguikian decided to start a DVD Drive to build the library from scratch. Her goal is to collect anywhere between 1000 - 1500 DVDs, New or Used, Newborn to Rated R, by June 13, 2008.
How to Help:
Please send DVDs directly to Tina Manguikian at:
2700 Neilson Way,
Unit 725,
Santa Monica, CA 90405
For further information contact Tina at: dvddonations@yahoo.com or (310) 314-5266

Hi Flavia,
I know this is "out there" but I am related to you as well as Mike Palmer.
My Grandmother was Mary McNelis who was cousins with your grandmother and your uncle is my Moms Godfather. I guess we are all over the place!

Sheilah, How cool is that. Considering my grandmother is a living saint, brillant and cool yours must be pretty great as well. Call my mom mom at 610 649-176 and let her know
