Welcome to "5 Things You Should Know Today," a Patch feature that provides five quick tidbits of information in one spot.

Here they are:

1. The local air quality reading is moderate, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD). This means the air quality for our community today is acceptable; however, some people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experience respiratory symptoms, according to AQMD

2. There will be a NextGen Leadership Luncheon in Los Angeles today at noon featuring City Attorney Carmen Trutanich. The event, hosted by the Center for Asian Amerian United for Self Empowerment, is open to law professionals, law students, and anyone interested in local politics. There are a couple seats remaining.
