The renovation, which is expected to be completed in early October, will bring canopies, shade trees, water fountains and breezeways to the mall. The work is being done in various phases in order to impact the shopping experience as little as possible. PROGRAM ATTACKS BULLYING To address an issue of growing concern among teens and parents, the David & Margaret Home in LaVerne has created a Bullying and Harassment Awareness Program.
