Are there any beaches in Santa Monica or Malibu that allows BBQ and fireworks? If not, I'm just thinking of having the gathering at my place. Any answers welcome! Thanks! Open Question: Isn't it against the law for illegals to give blood because they have not went through health checks?In the recent past, the jornaleros have cleaned up parks and other public eyesores on their own time and held blood drives. They have invited high school students to do community service at the center, served meals and helped any way they can. In a new project, day workers are learning how to organically farm so they can grow vegetable and fruit "Victory Gardens" at the homes of local seniors who can't do their own gardening any more. "If they keep this up, they'll have enough money in no time," said the Rev. Bob Moran, a priest at St. Joseph who drove his vintage 1965 Volkswagen bug in for a wash. He mentioned a recent Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California poll suggesting that California's mood toward illegal immigrants has softened, with a majority of Californians now favoring a "path to legalization'' for the undocumented. "It just blew my mind when I read that," he said. About a dozen jornaleros washed cars Sunday without pay, donating their time to the fundraising drive. Most weekdays, about 100 of the center's 4,000 registered day workers show up, hoping to be hired by construction contractors, landscapers, homeowners or anyone willing to pay $10 an hour or more for temporary help. "It's important for us to have our own center because it will be a safe place, especially for women," said Mariana Pena, 32, who had just polished off a BMW sedan. "We can't stand in front of Home Depot with the men," said Pena, who is from Veracruz, Mexico. She said a permanent home would strengthen the center by adding stability and familiarity, making it easier for everyone — workers, employers, volunteers and funders — to find and support the center. Rene San Agustin , 53, lost his job when the equipment rental company that employed him for years shut down. He said his wife's restaurant job can barely meet the rent for a one-bedroom apartment they share with their three young children. "I've been getting some work through the center," he said, "but this past year has been tough on all of us." Most of the other jornaleros washing cars agreed that when the economy crashed in the fall of 2008, day work dried up. In a humorous take on joblessness, Marroquin waved a soapy towel in the air and said in Spanish, "The economy is the mother of wealth." She said the center has raised enough money to break ground on the new center in May and will continue fundraising until the job is down. Once it moves in, the center expects to offer more of the same: daily job referrals, English classes and a range of advice on immigration, education, legal, social and health services available to immigrants. Where once they faced pickets blaming them for the ruin of California, Sunday's car washers faced a line of supportive customers. "This is a solid program," said John Granados, a parishioner just before he drove off in his sparkling sports sedan. http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_14910562 The Red Cross says it is, Open Question: Where is the Radio Disney studio?I'm guessing it's in Los Angeles, but does anybody know the adress of the Radio Disney studio?
