NATIONAL PARKS 

EXPERT TO SPEAK AT 

SIERRA MADRE 
LIBRARY

If you are one of the many area residents who 
will travel to one or more of the 397 national 
parks, monuments, battlefields, and historic 
sites in the National Park system, then you 
need to start your trip at the Sierra Madre 
Public Library.

Christopher K. Jarvi, former Associate Director 
for Partnerships and Visitor Experience 
for the National Park Service (NPS), 
will share little known facts and unique personal 
stories at 10 A.M. on Saturday, July 14 
at the Sierra Madre Public Library. 

Blending his experiences with beautiful visuals 
of the National Parks, Jarvi will take his 
audience on a behind the scenes tour of our 
most important natural sites, relating stories 
of their colorful history and their future 
challenges. July is National Parks and Recreation 
Month.

Jarvi has personal ties to Sierra Madre. His 
mother grew up in a house on the corner 
of Sierra Place and San Gabriel Court, his 
grandmother Ethel Davis owned the building 
in which the Safeway store was located, 
at about where Windsor Lane intersects Sierra 
Madre Blvd, and his uncle Loren Krabill 
ran the Green Frog Market, now known as 
Howie’s Market.

responsibility for Partnerships and 
Philanthropy, Interpretation/Education, Media 
Development, Volunteerism, Tourism,

Distance Trails, Wild and Scenic Rivers and,

ASCENSION PARISHIONERS CELEBRATE COMMUNITY WHILE 
REMEMBERING THE PAST “MASS ON THE GRASS” SUNDAY, JULY 1ST 

 Episcopal Church of the Ascension, 25 East Laurel Avenue in Sierra Madre will be celebrating its annual 
start of summer with “Mass on the Grass” on July 1, 2012 at 10:15 a.m. 

For over 20 years the community and parishioners have gathered together to celebrate a community 
who pulled together and restored the Church which was significantly damaged in the Sierra Madre 
Earthquake with an outdoor celebration as they did in 1991. It was through faith, strength and fellowship 
with the community that Churchgoers were able to restore the Church’s nationally recognized historic 
structure (designed by English architect Ernest Coxhead in 1889.) The outdoor mass on the Church’s 
beautiful grounds recognizes this accomplishment and celebrates the blessings of nature with family 
and friends. 

“Mass on the Grass” is followed by a picnic on the Church grounds. Everyone is welcome to join us in this 
celebration. No reservations required. 

This event makes for a wonderful family outing to meet new neighbors and check out a wonderful 
community church. For more information, please call (626) 355-1133 or visit: www.ascension-
sierramadre.com.
