The United Chambers of Commerce of the San Fernando Valley is planning two major events in January. On Wednesday, Jan. 10, the group will host an information session on the planned Los Angeles River revitalization project. Changes include returning the riverbed to its wild state including the addition of a bike path and new public parks. L.A. City Planner Tom Rothmann and other members of the L.A. River Unit/Citywide Division will discuss what impact the changes will have on residential and commercial properties in the area. The noon lunch meeting at the Porter Valley Country Club in Northridge will also include the introduction of new Daily News Publisher John McKeon who will be attending along with Editor Ron Kaye. On Friday, Jan. 26, UCC will hold its 31st Annual Installation and Recognition Dinner beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton Woodland Hills Hotel. The board of directors of 2006 and 2007 will be recognized as will businesses and individuals for their commitment and service to the San Fernando Valley. Special guest at the event will be LAUSD Superintendent David Brewer. For more information on both events, contact UCC President and CEO Debi Schultze at (818) 981-4491 or at [email protected].
