For the Children...
Hello Friends,
WaMu and with the aid of KaBoom!, the YWCA Greater Los Angeles will build a much need playground for the 2-5 years old at the YWCA Compton site on Saturday, August 16th, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. In order to successfully do this within the six hours, we will need man power and woman power to help us build. We are in need of 125 volunteers. Please contact me for a Volunteer Form. Please email it to your friends and family. They can complete the form and email it back to events@ywcagla.org.
We had a very successful Design Day with the children and Washington Mutual. They are counting on us to do our part. I encourage everyone to sign up and help us make this a wonderful day for the YWCA and YWCA Compton Child Development Center. If you belong to an organization who does public service, this is a wonderful service project that will impact the health and lives of the children. There is a job for everyone! Please sign up for a committee and bring some friends. There will be plenty of refreshments.
Thanks in advance,
Leslie

Heat Advisory
Heat Advisory: Stay Safe in Hot Temperatures
LOS ANGELES – High temperatures are forecasted for today and this weekend throughout Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County Health Officer and Public Health Director, Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, would like to remind everyone that precautions should be taken, especially by those people sensitive to the heat.
“While people don't need to be told it's hot outside, they do need to be reminded how to take care of themselves, children, the elderly, and their pets when the weather gets hotter," said Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, Director of Public Health and Health Officer. "When temperatures are high, prolonged sun exposure may cause dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
Never leave children, elderly people, or pets unattended in closed vehicles, even with the windows ‘cracked’, because temperatures inside can quickly rise to life-threatening levels.
If you plan to be outdoors, take precautions to protect yourself from the heat. Symptoms of dehydration and heat cramps include dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps, and increased thirst. Individuals with these symptoms should be moved to a cooler, shaded place and given water or sport drinks. More severe symptoms such as diminished judgment, disorientation, pale and clammy skin, a rapid and weak pulse, and/or fast and shallow breathing may indicate heat exhaustion or impending heat stroke and requires immediate medical attention.
Several tips for beating the heat include:
• Wear light, loose-fitting clothing.
• Drink water or sports drinks often (do not wait until you are thirsty), and avoid drinking alcohol.
• Offer help to those in your neighborhood with limited access to air conditioning and transportation, such as seniors or those who are ill. Check on them frequently or take them to a location with air conditioning.
• During peak heat hours stay in an air-conditioned area. If you don't have access to air conditioning in your home, visit public facilities such as shopping malls, parks, and libraries to stay cool.
• Avoid unnecessary exertion, such as vigorous exercise during peak sun hours, if you are outside or in a non-air conditioned building.
• Stay out of the sun if you do not need to be in it. When in the sun, wear a hat, preferably with a wide brim, and loose-fitting clothing with long sleeves and pants to protect yourself from sun damage.
The Department of Public Health is committed to protecting and improving the health of the nearly 10 million residents of Los Angeles County. Through a variety of programs, community partnerships and services, Public Health oversees environmental health, disease control, and community and family health. Public Health comprises more than 4,000 employees and an annual budget exceeding $750 million.
