We will be screening the film, "Homeless: The Motel Kids of Orange County," produced by Alexandra Pelosi, which documents the devastating impact of economic hard times on children of the working poor in Orange County, California. In the shadow of the Disneyland Resort are hundreds of families, living in cheap motels, struggling to survive. The parents of motel kids earn wages too low to own or rent homes. As a result, they live week-to-week in motels The toll of this lifestyle is severe. Though the community tries to provide adequate education and food, the day-to-day lives of motel kids are often a numbing exercise in frustrating constraints and ever-diminishing expectations. Open Forum 8:30 - 9:15 P.M. Open discussion, announcements, and other news of interest. The "Potluck for Progressives" is endorsed by the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim and is free and open to the general public. Although a small donation might be requested to help pay for facility costs, nobody will be turned away due to a lack of funds. ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
