during this difficult time. Crisis counseling continues to be available at the Teen Center for Malibu<br />

students affected by the Woolsey Fire. We thank you for your support as we return to our regular club<br />

operations. We would also like to give a big thank you to everyone who donated to our community<br />

through monetary and in-kind donations. We could not have done this without all of your kindness!<br />
