2013/2014 Chatsworth/Porter Ranch Chamber of Commerce Business Directory & Community Guide 2013/2014 | Page 5

From the Desk of Councilmember Mitchell Englander 4
Dear Friends:
As the Councilmember representing the 12th District, and as a lifelong
resident of the San Fernando Valley, it is my distinct pleasure to participate
in this community resource guide.
Here in the Northwest San Fernando Valley, we are blessed and proud
to have such a fantastic quality of life, safe and beautiful neighborhoods,
bustling businesses and gorgeous landscapes. But the greatest part of the
Northwest Valley is our people. We have a community filled with people
who are incredibly involved, engaged, charitable, hard-working, and
eager to participate in the efforts to make this a better, safer, more beautiful
place to live and work. I am truly honored to represent this District and the
people living in it.
I hope that you enjoy this attractive and useful community resource
guide. It is a terrific example of the strong working partnerships that we
have built between our City government, our business community, our
residents, and our community-based organizations.
I applaud the efforts of the Chatsworth Porter Ranch Chamber of
Commerce, its members, and all of the other partners who worked so
hard to put it together.
I hope you find this great resource directory to be useful. Please be
sure to visit the companion website, www.chatsworthchamber.com. I urge
you to use it to shop, dine and go out in our neighborhood to help support
our local businesses.
It is my honor and my pleasure
serving as your Councilmember.
Sincerely,

Mitchell Englander
Councilmember, Twelfth District
