EXHIBITION & ARTIST RECEPTION 

The City of Sierra Madre Community Arts Commission is 
pleased to present an Arts Exhibition by Halcyon Koerber. 
The Exhibition by Halcyon Koerber is now on display through 
Thursday, November 17, 2011. Community members are invited 
to an Artist Reception on Friday, Friday, October 14 from 
6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Sierra Madre City Hall (232 East 
Sierra Madre Blvd.). The event is open to the public and light 
refreshments will be served. 

“I like to draw (mostly) portraits in pastel. I like the medium 
because of the immediate color achieved. It is dusty and messy 
and fragile. It can be easily smeared and erased which helps me 
remember that we are created from dust and it is to dust we shall 
return.” - Halcyon Koerber

For more information please call the Sierra Madre Community & 
Personnel Services Department at (626) 355-5278.

continue. Registration may be done online at www.cityofsierramadre.
com/onlineregistration or at the Community 
Services Office at 611 E. Sierra Madre Blvd. During the fall 
season, there will be no daily admissions; however, this year

Water Aerobics

Sierra Madre Aquatic Center is continuing water aerobics 
into the fall season! The benefits of water exercise include 
low impact, resistance, and cardiovascular training in a 
fun environment. Water Aerobics can be taken by people 
of all ages, and is especially beneficial for those seeking a 
low to no impact workout. Exercising in water also reduces 
overheating from continuous training and since we conduct 
the class in the shallow end you do not need to be a strong 
swimmer. For more information, please call 626-355-5278.

 Dates: September 13 through October 27

 Days: Tuesday & Thursday

 Time: 10:00 am - 11am

 Fall Pool Pass
