(ALWAYS CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE MEETING)
Dear Wilmont Members, Neighbors and Friends,
First of all, Happy New Year to all of you and yours and Thank You for all you do to help make our city better. May 2022 be the year we put the pandemic in the rearview mirror and create a better-than-ever future. Now this...
1. WIN The appeal by Oceana Hotel to open their lounge/restaurant for food/alcohol to non-guests was denied at a recent City Council meeting.
2. The 2ND of two "Pot Pharms" will likely also be on Wilshire, just a few blocks from the First. Your Wilmont Board opposed this after hearing input from you in December. We think the 2ND should be elsewhere. (See story below)
3. For January, we're holding our monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 18th so we can have new City Manager David White as our guest to kick-off the New Year. What issues do you want him to focus on? What questions should we ask? What does WILMONT care most about? Let us know: wilmontinfo@gmail.com

REMEMBERING OUR FRIENDS -- ED HUNSAKER...
...AND LAURENCE EUBANK
Dear Wilmont Members, Neighbors and Friends,
I am so very sad to report that Laurence Eubank, our past president and friend, passed away Wednesday, September 1, 2021, with Alin Wall, his wife, and son, Louie by his side. Laurence had been awaiting a lung transplant and received it in early August. He rallied twice but was unable to overcome setbacks from the operation. Bless you, Laurence.
Best, Elizabeth
Big Blue Bus Info
MODE Dial-A Ride Service for Older Adults
Big Blue Bus has partnered with Lyft to provide on-demand services to replace the Dial-A-Ride program for older adults and people with disabilities living in Santa Monica. The new service is called MODE (Mobility On-Demand Every Day), and will improve curb-to-curb and door-through-door transportation. Lyft’s flexible transportation service network will allow MODE to meet the high demand for service during peak times when members are most interested in traveling while increasing efficiency when the demand for transportation decreases.
