Rotary Breakfast
Enjoyed hearing the inspiring words of District 5300 District Governor Miles Petroff and talking with his wife Teresa. Our Rotary Club really is the Mouse that Roared.
Jiangsu Cultural Awareness Week 2013
Brad and I had a lovely evening at the Pasadena Convention Center celebrating Jiangsu Province Culture. Thank you Mei Mei Huff for an evening of learning and cultural knowledge. I look forward to visiting that province again some day.
Bike with the Mayor
Thanks to Gerry Delker and the Elks Lodge for doing the bike clinic before the ride. Lots of people stopped by and I enjoyed getting their input on Duarte. The next Bike with the Mayor and free bike clinic is October 12th, at Royal Oaks Park. Hi to my new friends Sydney, Mary, Martin, Neil, Tony, Raquel and Melania. Thanks to all of the other friends too that made the ride a success.
Foothill Cities College Fair
Lots of people at the college fair at Duarte High School. This school is vastly improved over what it used to be, thanks to the Duarte community that has supported the extra revenue measures on their property taxes. Our kids are worth it!
Mesa Dinner
Had a great evening with all of our Mesa neighbors at the Block Party. I love the neighborhood that we live in.
San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership Gala Awards
I m grateful to be sitting with the City of Hope group, one of the well-deserved awardees. Congratulations to Dr. Friedman and the City of Hope for a job well done.
Foothill Fitness Challenge
Some of the San Gabriel Valley cities are competing for bragging rights in this healthy competition. Please sign up for Team Duarte and join us on October 5, 9 - 11 am for the kick-off. It's all free and is designed for fitness and fun.
Listening to Congressmember Grace Napolitano
Grace is right on when she says that we need to stop relying on imported water to meet the needs of Los Angeles. The WRD purchases recycled Sanitation District water for groundwater replenishment.
Happy Birthday to my favorite city, Duarte
56 years old. God bless this great city.
Walking the grandkids to the first day of school
Duarte schools are the best. I am glad that all 5 of our children graduated from DHS. They have all be well prepared for their undergraduate and graduate school educations. Thanks to the teachers and counselors that helped them.
At the Los Angeles Zoo
The LA Zoo near Griffith Park is a great experience for all ages. Buying the family pass is a good way to support the zoo and be able to take young children more frequently for shorter periods of time.
City Fitness Center
I love our city fitness center. Pretty good equipment, friendly people, and an awesome price to join.
Mayor's Regional Conference
Mayor Garcetti hosted Los Angeles County mayors at the Getty House in LA. Good networking as well as innovative ideas exchanged.
