This charming neighborhood block club includes the residents from 21st street to the 10 freeway on Longwood a few blocks east of La Brea. Celia Bell has been the longtime president and is also an active member of the Mid City Neighborhood Council.
About 15 neighbors showed up at the comfy home of Grace Santana who hosts the meetings.

Senior lead Officer Thomas attended. He reported that the 18th St. Gang has not been as active lately because the FBI is actively involved in investigating and cracking down on  the Salvadorian MS Gang. He also warned everyone to ignore any organization that calls with solicitations to donate to police organizations. He says the police never solicit for funds. The meeting collected $5 donations from everyone to put in their neighborhood emergency fund. This money is used to help any neighbor who has a need. It was recently used to help Celia Bell get a much needed monitor from her bedroom to her son’s room since she recently endured surgery.
