I began attending PNC meetings as a stakeholder in May of 2013 to see how else I could impact and improve my community. August of 2013 I assisted with organizing National Night Out and also assisted with Pacoima Neighborhood Clean up with the assistance of the council members office Felipe Fuentes and Raul Bocanegra Assembly members office.
