Flairs Thanks Community for 2,800 Items for Military Care Packages

The local cleaners also offers tips.

would like to thank the community for their donations for the military. Also, there's some cleaning advice below.

First, a message from Flairs:

We'd like to thank those residents and businesses throughout Southern California who participated in our annual FlairCare Packages drive, which netted more than 2800 items for our military. The much-needed donated supplies will be sent to soldiers by the USO - Greater Los Angeles Area to bring them a "touch-of-home," regardless of where they are deployed, and will help support more than 60,000 military and their families served locally by the USO. Barbara Musella, center manager of the USO - Greater Los Angeles Area, commented: "The leadership of businesses like Flair Cleaners in rallying our communities' generosity is vital in helping provide the USO's famous touch of home."

As a reminder, Flair Cleaners recognizes patriots year-round with military discounts and complimentary flag cleaning.

 

FLAIR'S CLEANING TIP:

Removing stains can sometimes seem like a complex problem, from figuring out the type of stain and its origin to knowing the fabric. But take heart, a few simple tips can take the guesswork out of stain removal.

First, act quickly! If the stain is on a garment where dry cleaning is recommended, take it to your local Flair Cleaners ASAP. Point out the stain and describe its origin, if possible. Don’t assume water is a best first step! Water can set stains, especially those from any kind of oil (even cooking oil) or grease.

Treat once! Once a treatment is applied, drying the fabric can cause the stain to set, so be sure you use the right stain removal treatment for the fabric and type of stain. If you aren’t sure, consult with Flair Cleaners before trying a homebased remedy.

Test it out! Before applying a home remedy, test it on a hidden spot on the garment to ensure the treatment will not damage the fabric or cause the color to bleed.

Those of us who are more familiar with the genes which statistics have shown are most likely to formRead More breast and ovarian cancer understand the choices--certainly better for me than before I was diagnosed and knew so little. I am fortunate that there is no history of cancer of women in my family.

ok. have now spent some time navigating the new patch. i hope everyone will give it a chance. it'sRead More growing on me. i think once everyone is more familiar with the new version they'll like it too.

@MikeSzymanski I must admit that I haven't been able to detect a new format. Where is the format?Read More Who designed this? All I can tell is that there is a beautiful shot of trees -- perfect! Under that banner all hell breaks lose and you can't tell what you're looking it. There might be a huge blowup of Mr. Walker or a too big notice of something official-looking -- possibly an agenda. I have not been able to navigate through all the stuff. Lots of white space on either side which gives me impression that we're tailoring a community paper more toward an iphone or smart phone (or a tablet). Maybe I need a GPS to find a good list of contents here. In the meantime, it's not very attractive (exception for the banner trees photo) nor entertaining and not very informative. Scotty Reston, where are you now that we need you?

the picture selected is nice and it well suits the page. it would be nice to see the full pic. tooRead More bad so much of it is blocked from the top portion of the content....any chance of seeing the full picture and starting the content beneath it?

I find this very disconcerting. Mel Randall who is on the Land Use Committee was asked to submit hisRead More name. We assumed qualifications would be checked and then those best suited would be chosen. Two entries of the same name is in itself so bad makes me feel that all of this should be redone.

I was at the meeting last night and saw all I need to see on how our neighborhood council work. TheyRead More had a drawing for the grievance panel. WHAT A SHAM!! They drew 1 guys name twice and rather than stop the proceedings and make sure that the names in the hat were legitimate and no other duplicates exist and redo the drawing, they just drew another name. Now it probably was just a fluke but the appearance of a rigged drawing is there and it taints the whole council and it proceedings. It is very apparent why we need a grievance panel in the first place. When the appearance of corruption exists at the lowest levels of our democratic process it is no wonder that the whole system is collapsing before our eyes. Our neighborhood council should hang their heads in shame!
