The picturesque “Wild Rose” district will be on the Monrovia Historic Home Preservation Group Mother’s Day Home Tour this year. Should be an inspiring tour.

I’m happy to say that this project is progressing and 4 families have been chosen for the property. What a cool thing to be a kid in one of those families seeing their house constructed from scratch!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Meeting Thursday for Foothill Extension

Posted April 22, 2008 in Announcements, Construction, Events, Foothill Extension Tagged , , , , , ,

Foothill Extension

Sure, you’d like to see the train station go in soon…so to help make that happen attend the MTA’s next board meeting on Thursday the 24th at 9:30 a.m. at and show your support. The meeting will be held at MTA Headquarters (board room), One Gateway Plaza in Los Angeles.

Remember, this is not a done deal yet, as the Foothill extension has not been allocated as part of the budgeted 30-year regional plan. It’s currently still floundering in the list of “Strategic Projects” which means that it will likely be built only when “funds become available.”

This will be an opportunity for supporters of the Foohill Extension to speak directly to board members during the public comment period (1 minute maximum). The MTA Building is located adjacent to Union Station downtown, which is reachable from the Sierra Madre station in about 35 minutes. For more information, please call 626-305-7026 or visit the website at and register.

To make your support known through email, send your thoughts to metroplan@metro.net. For more complete information, download the PDF here. You may also sign the “I WILL RIDE” student petition here.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Relay for Life this weekend

Posted in Announcements, Critters, Events, Old Town

The Relay For Life of Monrovia April 26 11a.m. thru April 27 11a.m. at Recreation Park in Monrovia. The Relay For Life is a 24 hour event where the community celebrates cancer survivors, remembers those we’ve lost to cancer, and continues to fight back for a cure.

Monrovia Relay is a bit different than most other Relays because they not only honor humans effected by cancer, but pets, too. White Luminaria bags are for humans and lavender for pets. Dog survivors will walk during the Survivor’s Victory Lap and they will receive a special gift as will the human survivors.

Two Dogs Petsitting has teamed up with Dog Paddle Wellness, CM Surgical Specialty Group, Eye Care For Animals, Royal Oaks Equestrian Farm, twenty something Magazine, and Carole Anne Kaufman’s Studio C Hair Artistry and raised over $5,000 so far.

If you are available the weekend of April 26th and would like to join in the celebration, remembrance, and fight…Two Dogs Paws Pettsitting would love to have you on their team! The commitment is minimal (only 30-60 minutes!) and you are sure to have a fantastic time. Here is the link to check out the event schedule or sign up for the team.

You do not have to raise money or ask anyone for anything…if your friends or family (dogs included) are interested in hanging out while you walk, sign them up, too, and we’ll make sure you all have a great time! If you do raise or donate $100, you will receive a Relay 08 t-shirt…but definitely not required.
