GLAD event Saturday Noon to 4: "A Taste of Eagle Rock"

There's a food event on Saturday afternoon, from 12 Noon to 4 p.m. to support the "Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness," GLAD, in Eagle Rock tomorrow that will have a lot of food items brought to one location for the cost of $25 per adult ticket. Children 12 and under: $10; Children under 5: Free.
See flyer: http://www.gladinc.org/PDFs/Taste%20of%20Eagle%20Rock%20Sponsor%20Packet.pdf

This annual event is a fund raiser for the non-profit institution that does a year-round credible job of providing service to hearing impaired persons- deaf and hard-of-hearing. You see Council Member Jose Huizar's name on the linked .pdf flyer, but don't let that scare you away; most events happening in any Council District ususally have the the Council Members helping to get these kinds of events going and you will see those names included very clearly. There are some non-profits that you might have heard about if you follow city hall politics which will cause raised suspicions of worthiness, but this a good one that's not in that category at all, so if you want to try an afternoon of food tasting of assorted types all in one place, do come on over and enjoy.

The location is very near Occidental College, a few blocks further north on Eagle Rock Blvd. at La Verna to the west.
