The Leona Valley Annual Community Garage Sale

Leona Valley is a small community, with a big heart, that lies tucked away in the northwest corner of Los Angeles County. Each year the Leona Valley Improvement Association hosts a community-wide garage sale where residents have the opportunity to set up shop, so to speak, to sell those unwanted items, that are just taking up space, and earn a little extra cash for whatever the family might need. This year’s garage sale event took place on September 24, 2016.

In the photo above, Jackson is presenting Jan Clark, Sertoma CEO, a $5.00 donation, while stopping by Leona Valley Sertoma garage sale location that is participating in the Leona Valley Annual Community Garage Sale. Leona Valley Sertoma has been serving the community since December 1997 and is chartered through Sertoma International, a non-profit service organization. The name Sertoma comes from the phrase, “SERvice TO MAnkind” and Leona Valley Sertoma is fully commited to doing just that, they serve the Lakes and Valley communities and to make a difference through sponsorship of a variety of programs. For the most part the funds go to our special SPONSORSHIP needs, such as, the senior Christmas dinner, holiday baskets, scholarships, school projects and so many more.

Through their efforts they have always worked to improve the quality of life for those in their communities, wherever and whenever possible. Their efforts truly are making a difference and, if Spencer is any indication, that desire to help others is being passed on to those who will be the leaders of tomorrow. With the help of the Spencer children and so many other generous people, they are all helping to make a difference and are a part of the story that can only be called a “well rounded” success.

WE ARE GRATEFUL

Sponsorship Committee Outreach

Leona Valley Sertoma is dedicated to serving the needs of the communities in the Lakes and Valley areas of north Los Angeles County. Through the efforts of the members and with the support of many in the communities they serve, they have made a difference for the better in so many ways. The Sponsorship Committee is responsible for seeking out opportunities where the group can be of service to those in their communities.

In addition to their outreach efforts, the Sponsorship Committee relies on those in the community to make them aware of where they can be of service and help make a difference for an individual, a family, or for the community as a whole. The Leona Valley Sertoma Sponsorship Committee has created the Sertoma Funding Request form to allow individuals, or groups, to share with the committees situations they would like the Sponsorship committee to be aware of. The Sponsorship committee can then review the request to determine if it is something that should be brought to the attention of the membership as a whole.
