Chamber fundraiser, as part of 4th of July fes..vi..es. 
On February 8, 2011 the Sierra 
Madre City Council adopted 
the Facility Attendant Policies 
and Procedures to be implemented 
by the Community Services 
Department. Part of that 
policy incorporated a Volunteer 
Facility Attendant Program 
enabling local organizations/
nonprofit groups like yours to 
designate 2 or more persons to 
serve as Volunteer Facility Attendants 
rather than pay for a 
staff Facility Attendant (rate as 
of July 1st will be $50 per hour).

 The training will take place in 
two parts: First Aid and CPR/
AED training on Monday, June 
25th – 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm at the 
Community Recreation Center, 
611 E. Sierra Madre Blvd. (upstairs 
in the Youth Activity Center) 
and Facility Procedures on 
Monday, July 2nd – 7 pm to 8:30 
pm in the Sierra Madre Room 
(611 E. Sierra Madre Blvd.). The 
two part training will cover the 
opening/closing and monitoring 
facility procedures for the 
Sierra Madre Room, YAC & 
Hart Park House Senior Center, 
Facility Attendant responsibilities 
as well as First Aid and 
CPR/AED training.

Please note, both trainings are 
required for someone to be 
considered an official Volunteer 
Facility Attendant, but if a volunteer 
can produce a valid First 
Aid/CPR certification card they 
will not need to attend the June 
25th training. Those volunteers 
taking the First Aid/CPR/AED 
training will be asked to pay $27 
for the cost of the certificates; 
this is an American Red Cross 
fee. All other portions of the 
training are provided to the volunteers 
free of charge.

Please have your organization’s 
volunteers complete the attached 
application and return to 
the Community Services office, 
611 E. Sierra Madre or to City 
Hall, attention Susan Clifton 
by June 18th to confirm your 
participation in the training. If 
your organization already has 
one or two Volunteer Facility 
Attendants, you are welcome to 
send one or two more this year.

If you have any questions regarding 
this memo or would 
like more details about the Facility 
Attendant responsibilities 
before the July 2nd training, 
please feel free to contact me at 
(626) 355-5278 ext. 227. 

VOLUNTEER FACILITY ATTENDANT TRAINING

1630 AM

Free on-air publicity for local events

 Sierra Madre’s new community radio station is now accepting scripts 
for Public Service Announcements (PSAs) about community events. 
PSAs will be broadcast on the air at no charge. The station operates 
24/7 and can be heard at 1630 on the AM dial.

 Any local non-profit or non-commercial organization can have 
their event information broadcast to the public on Sierra Madre 
Community Information Radio. This new radio station covers the city 
of Sierra Madre, plus surrounding areas of Pasadena, Arcadia, and 
Monrovia. 

In a nutshell, your event must:

• Benefit a non-commercial or non-profit entity
• Be open to the public
• Be of general interest to local citizens


Just 
write a Public Service Announcement that describes your 
event and e-mail it to radio@cityofsierramadre.com.
