Youth from the ages of 14-18 can qualify for six to twelve week courses in film, TV, and computer animation. Classes have limited spaces available and enrollment will be decided on a first come first serve basis.
All students who complete the entire program will receive a Certificate of Completion Award. Completion of the program requires that each student attend every class and finish all assignments. Any student who is unable to complete a class and wishes to receive a certificate must make-up the missed class and assignments at a later date.
What We Do. The New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute is a non-profit 501(c)3 "mobile" educational program that has the unique approach of actually bringing the school to the youth who, due to a lack of financing and or resources, would otherwise not have the chance to experience the Hollywood dream. The New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute will bring a team of instructors and equipment, including guest industry professionals, on location to youth in their own community to offer classes, free of charge, with industry standard equipment and state of the art technique. This method of on location teaching will allow the youth to express themselves more naturally and develop the ability to use their creativity in a way that can benefit the community in which they live.
The goal of the New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute is to provide youth in the communities with the tools and knowledge that can enhance their creative abilities through six week introductory courses on film introduction, photography and computer animation depending on the interest of the student. In addition, as the students qualify, a twelve week continued education will be offered, as well as the opportunity to travel with the school to other areas and use what they learned to help teach others. The classes will then encourage the youth to use their creativity in a manner that can strengthen relationships and contribute to the well being of the community and give them a new career opportunity. This innovative approach of bringing the school on location will give the communities a creative outlet for the youth to use that can continue to work and grow even after having moved on to another neighborhood.
Professional Instructors. With state of the art equipment and qualified instructors the students will learn the same techniques used in professional media.By going on location for filming projects, students will get hands-on film-making experience that main stream multimedia companies use.
Future Opportunities. Students who qualify will be invited to go on location with the team to events and get the chance to help and gain experience in real multimedia jobs.
Internships with Major Companies. Through New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute, as students qualify, internships with major TV and film studios will be available.

LADWP Giving Away Compact Flourescent Lightbulbs (CFL)
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is delivering two FREE compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) to our residential customers. Delivery teams will be in your area over the next few months to provide you with a bag containing your free bulbs and conservation information.
Why is the LADWP Providing CFLs?
CFLs are one of the simplest and most effective energy savings tools available. One CFL can reduce an annual electric bill by $8 to $10. Just think of how much money you can save on electricity if you replaced every bulb in your home with a CFL! And, the savings continues because a CFL bulb will last 10,000 hours compared to 1,000 hours for a traditional bulb.
WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR FREE BULBS INSTALL THEM IMMEDIATELY AND START SAVING MONEY!
Proper CFL Disposal
Please follow the instructions on the box regarding proper disposal. CFLs may be disposed of at LADWP Customer Service Center collection bins or at City S.A.F.E. recycling centers. Call the Household Hazardous Waste Hotline at 1-800-988-6942 (press option 2) or log on to www.lacity.org/SAN/index.htm, and select "Universal Waste" for more disposal information.
For more information regarding the CFL distribution visit www.ladwp.com or call (213) 367-4614.

Prepare and File Your Taxes for FREE!
If you earned $54,000 a year or less last year, you're about to save time and money! That's because Free File lets you electronically prepare and file your federal income tax return for free.
Free File is offered by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in partnership with the Free File Alliance LLC, a group of leading private-sector tax preparation companies. The program launched five years ago and 19 million Americans have used it to date. A recent survey showed that 96 percent of those who used Free File found it "easy to use" and 98 percent said they would recommend it to others.
Free File is as easy and safe to use as 1, 2, 3:
1. Go to the IRS website at www.irs.gov and click on
"Free File" and press the "Start Now" button.
2. Then, choose a tax preparation company from the list. (You must select a company from the list rather than going directly to a company's website. Otherwise, you may be charged a fee). Some of the companies offer the software in Spanish.
3. If you want help choosing a company, use the interactive tool to help narrow your search. If you have questions, use the "Wizard" feature to guide you through the tax preparation process. It also checks your math and informs you of the newest tax deductions.
So skip those long paper forms and use Free File to prepare and file federal taxes. There's less chance for making errors and you'll get your refund in half the time. For example, when you use Free File and choose to receive your refund with Direct Deposit, you will receive your refund in as little as 10 days. After you send your return, you will receive a quick email acknowledgment within 48 hours from the tax preparation company to let you know that the IRS received your return. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, beginning mid-January 2008.
