FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE CONTINUES

ARE YOU 
INTERESTED 
IN AFTER 
SCHOOL 
PROGRAMS 
FOR YOUTH?

The City of Sierra Madre 
Community & Personnel 
Services Department in 
collaboration with the 
Pasadena YMCA is assessing 
the need for afterschool 
programs. Currently, the 
YMCA operates afterschool 
programs for youth under 
10 and the City operates 
programs for those 11-17. 
The two organizations are 
evaluating a partnership 
in which the YMCA 
assumes the operation 
of teen programs as well. 
The information received 
here will help the City of 
Sierra Madre Community 
& Personnel Services 
Department and YMCA 
develop youth programs 
that focus on academic 
achievement, enrichment 
specialty classes, and 
recreational development. 
Please help us by filling 
out our online survey at 
http://www.surveymonkey.
com/s/97FJ59B

Thank you for participating 
in this voluntary survey 
inquiring about your family’s 
interest in and need for after 
school programming in 
Sierra Madre. For additional 
information please contact 
the Community & Personnel 
Services Department (626)

Guitarist Dan Rotten will 
perform in Kersting Court as 
part of Friday Night Live, put 
on each summer by the Sierra 
Madre Chamber of Commerce. 
There will be a “Future’s So 
Bright” theme for the evening, 
with shoppers encouraged to 
wear their coolest “shades”. 
One lucky “cool shades” wearer 
will win a $25 gift certificate to 
Butterfly Effect Day Spa.

In addition, anyone who 
spends $35 in a retail store 
or $50 in a restaurant during 
Friday Night Live hours (6:30

booth in Kersting Court. They 
will be entered in a drawing 
to take place the final week of 
Friday Night Live. Shoppers 
are eligible every time that 
they spend $35/retail or $50/
restaurant – the more times 
they spend $35/$50 the greater 
their chances of winning. On 
the final Friday, August 26th, 
two lucky shoppers will have 
their names drawn to win a 
shopping/dining spree at Sierra 
Madre businesses valued at 
more than $500! With only five
