This past Monday we had the opportunity to observe Martin Luther King Jr . Day .   The lessons of Dr . King remain just as relevant today; and in our own City we strive to be inclusive and to govern with principle .   I am often reminded of my favorite quote from Dr . King - “Darkness cannot drive out darkness , only light can do that . Hate cannot drive out hate , only love can do that . ”  Dr . King worked to inspire youth and engage people of all ages – and in Calabasas we are proud of the work that our youth are doing .  
   On February 3rd from 9am - 2pm , the Mayor’s Youth Council and M2 Health present a Body Positivity Fair .   This is appropriate for residents of all ages and will have informational workshops , body - positive activities , professional speakers , food and crafts!  
    

    
   The City has done a lot of work on the Las Virgenes Creek and now it ' s your opportunity to see this work up close .   On January 27th , join City of Calabasas engineers for a tour of the Las Virgenes Creek to discuss past and future projects as well as a discussion of how our creek relates in the broader context of the North Santa Monica Bay Watershed .   The tour will begin with a short ten - minute presentation at the gazebo before beginning the walking portion of the tour along the Las Virgenes Trail to Agoura Road ( 1 . 5 miles one - way ) where the tour will conclude .   A City Shuttle will be provided at Agoura Road for those not wishing to walk back .   We will meet at 10:00am at the lower Gazebo on Lost Hills Road across from De Anza Park .  
    
   Have you heard of the term
   Demand - Response Transit
   ?  If not , think of Uber or Lyft .   Did you know that Calabasas has its own Demand Response weekend transit program that allows you to order a ride instead of waiting for a scheduled bus?  This way , you can have greater flexibility when traveling around the city on weekends . This service is available on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am - 5:00pm and to book the service , please call ( 818 ) 632 - 6211 .   You’re advised to call 30 minutes prior to your expected departure and you may ride with other passengers when traveling in similar directions .   It is a very inexpensive way to get around town .   Check out these fares and routes:

   Selling things online through eBay , OfferUp , Facebook Marketplace and other online sites has become increasingly popular .   At the same time , we continue to hear about scams and , in some instances , even more dangerous activities when people meet a stranger to sell an item .   In order to make these exchanges safe , the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station has set up a Safe Exchange Zone in the east side of the station  parking lot .   If you are making a private party transaction off eBay , OfferUp , Facebook Marketplace , or other sites , please utilize the safety of the Sheriff’s station parking lot to conduct your exchanges .
    
   The Sheriff’s Department has a few safety tips you should keep in mind when buying/selling online:
   Always meet in a public place ( such as a police/Sheriff station ) .
   Never go to an exchange alone , always bring backup .
   Only bring enough money for the purchase .
   Try the product first , before buying .
   Get proof of the purchase ( written document/receipt ) .
   Do not give out your personal information .
   Always trust your gut , if something seems off it probably is .
   Please remember , when using the Malibu/Lost Hills Station’s Safe Exchange Zone , the deputies cannot act as official witnesses for the transactions . They will not provide legal advice or settle any civil disputes .
   A quick reminder – we have our second City of Calabasas Hiring Event tomorrow from 1:00pm - 4:00pm at De Anza Park .   The event is for summer jobs … and beyond .   We need to bring on recreation attendants and lifeguards and some of these jobs require you to be at least 18 years old .   Check out the graphic and scan the QR code for more information .
    
   I wanted to share this opportunity with our graduating high school seniors .   Southern California Edison offers an Edison Scholarship .   The deadline to apply for the Edison Scholars is January 23rd – that’s next Tuesday .    Edison says the scholarships are designed to help students’ passion for making a difference by studying science , technology , engineering and math . Scholarship applications can be found
   here
    .
   Have a wonderful weekend .
   Your Mayor ,
   Alicia
