Giving thanks
Hello, Denny [Cristales].
I want to say thank you on behalf of the League of Women Voters for covering our homelessness event in Long Beach [“Helping those in need the right way: Assisting homeless goes beyond handouts, local experts say,” Nov. 18, 2016]. I guessed who you were at the event and I had hoped to introduce myself but I wasn’t able to catch you before you left. Your article was fantastic— beyond what we hoped for— and we are very appreciative of your efforts.

Final thoughts
Well, this is it. After 20 years representing the 4th District as supervisor, this is my final week in office. It’s been the honor of my life to serve the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County. I appreciate all your support, your votes, your friendship and your ongoing commitment to me and to the whole 4th District over the last 35 years.
As Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Life’s greatest gift is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing.” The people who receive our services are often those at the end of their rope or have nowhere else to turn.
It’s been an incredible ride. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.\
