Ok lets start by tipping our hats to and Executive Gabriel Buenla for once again reaching out to the community and providing them with FREE clothing with another “A Trabajar” cloths give-a-way held in mid June. The hard working staff at Plaza also donated their Saturday to help distribute clothing and provide the community with information on the many services and programs they offer at Plaza. It was also my good friend Cecilia Mercado’s last event with Plaza as she has ventured on to a new and exciting Job! Cecilia has done a wonderful job at Plaza working on events and fundraisers and going beyond her call of duty! I am sure we will work with each other again. Congratulations Cecilia!

| Me (Mark Martinez) LEGALLY doing day labor! |
Ronn Savala (of
ronnsavala.com hair and beauty products) and I spent a few weeks working on Valerie Provines beautiful home in Tehachapi (California). It’s great working on her home as it’s so peaceful and beautiful in this area of California. Very relaxing. We will soon venture back to work on some more projects. This last trip we built a deck and finished up some odds and ends inside her home. On our many adventures to Tehachapi we exit Ave. I where we pass a antique store that looks interesting but it was always closed (they open at 11:00 a.m.) so we finally were driving past it during business hours and boy what a treat! The joint name is “ANTIQUES AT THE BARN” and a barn it is!!!! The location is 6851 W. Ave. I, Lancaster, CA. They have everything under the sun, so if you stop by make sure you give yourself enough time. Some stuff is strange but most is interesting and a Antique lovers delight!

Next subject “Meg Whitman”. The more I see her (and her lying commercials) the more I see her strange resemblance to Ben Franklin… I guess she is so emerged in the all mighty dollar that she decided to look like it! If only she would spend a little of those millions that she spends on her ads with a hair and makeup artist, I am sure the girl can at least look like Ma’ Kettle! You go spend your money Meg… we will see if that buys your way into Sacramento come election day. As for Jerry… you got my vote!
Speaking of money…. If you guys haven’t visited
Buena Vista Furniture’s new location in Orange I suggest you do. It is similar to the El Serreno story but the layout is a bit nicer. Ronn Savala and I dropped by on afternoon to finally check out the joint. Ruthie showed us around and I was very impressed with all the hard work her and Joesph put into the store, so I suggest you all drive down and give them a visit in Orange and spend some of your hard earn cash on some fabulous and ever changing inventory Buena Vista Furniture has to offer!

| Host Hortensia Lopez |
On July 31st, we along with our friend Hortensia hosted a party for her nephew Manuel Diaz who has located to Texas as he now attending Texas A&M… we meet some really great people that nite and believe everyone had a good time, well I think they did as some did not leave until 3:30 a.m.!!!! My childhood friend Derek Kluft was one of the guest, it was nice seeing him although he spent most of the evening chatting with our friend Manuela, well I don’t blame him as Manuela is a very beautiful woman! Manny, you friends were a lot of fun and we hope we get to connect with them again! Congratulations Mr. Diaz and remember what they say about Texas… “Texas where men are men and sheep are scared!”
This week I am working on a new project with my good friend Gabriel Buelna. It’s a interview show airing VERY soon on YouTube “I have something to say” where he interviews various figures from the community. “I have something to say” is part of the
NonProfitNetwork. The NonProfitNetwork is a website where people of the Non Profit world can post jobs, post resumes, blogs and get a whole lot of important information. Gabriel’s first guest were Fr. Gregory Boyle, Professor and Historian Rudy Acuna, Ted Gottis, and Javier Angulo… great interviews and interesting responses so stay tune, as soon as they videos are up we will let you know.
