just a quick endorsement.  i worked with their atlanta affiliate for
awhile and their new orleans affiliate before they were decimated, but
they are a great organization doing some very important work.  i've got
almost no experience with the l.a. version, but given the cause and the
area, i imagine this would be very rewarding work for those looking to
make a difference.  good luck,

sterling
