What makes Valley Village all that it is, what has allowed us to provide high-quality programs and services for the past 44 years, what makes us shine?

The answer is easy. We only do as well as we do because of the support we have received from friends like each of you who join us to Chill and Grill today. And because of the support of leaders like Councilmember Mitch Englander who, for many years, has helped us to establish deep and productive relationships with the City, as well as other public entities, and collaborative partnerships with other non-profit agencies. We thank him for the guidance and perspective he and his staff share with us as well as the financial support that he has brought to Valley Village.

We continue to succeed because of our incredible and dedicated staff. No words can describe what they bring to Valley Village each and every day. They are our heart.

We shine because of our amazing clients. Their courage, joy, love, and inner strength is our soul. Check out their talent as today we highlight our ceramics program that allows them to communicate their ideas through color, texture and shapes. Pieces of their work are on display and their purchase is a great way to acknowledge our artists and support their expressive creativity.

Chill, Grill and Enjoy, Valley Village

Leela Kapur President Valley Village Board of Directors

Thank You Mitch Englander

Mitchell Englander, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, has dedicated his life to public service and to making the Valley a safer and better place to live, work, and raise a family. Mitch has been at the forefront of protecting our neighborhoods and the quality of life in the Northwest San Fernando Valley. Before he was elected to the City Council, he served as the Chief of Staff to Los Angeles City Councilman Greig Smith from 2003 to 2011.

Mitch is a dedicated family man. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Jayne, and they live together in Granada Hills with their daughters Lindsey and Lauren and their three dogs. One of his proudest moments was being named Father of the Year by the National Father’s Day Council in 2006.

Mitch has been an advocate for Valley Village. He helped bring together many resources necessary to advance the efforts of Valley Village’s mission. We are pleased to show our gratitude to our friend Mitch Englander as we honor him.
