ENMARK (cont. from pg. 1)

 A woman of incredible strength, her daughter 
Juli was killed on June 28,1991 in the earthquake 
centered in Sierra Madre. Eleven months earlier, 
her stepson, Jon, died in an accidental fall that 
occurred on July 4th.

 And through it all, Marlene keeps the needs of 
others front and center in her life. It is not possible 
to list all the many, many contributions she has 
made to Sierra Madre, hence the bestowing of 
this award is just a small way of saying Thanks for 
all you have done and continue to do.

 Little known fun fact about Marlene: She grew up 
in Orange, California, lived at 555 Orange Street 
and attended graduated from Orange High School 
all of which are in Orange County, California. 
Ironically, orange is not her favorite color!

REMEMBRANCE

FRIENDS OF THE SIERRA MADRE 
LIBRARY 43RD ANNUAL WINE TASTING 

 This year’s annual Friends of the Sierra Madre Library Wine Tasting will be held on Sunday, February 
17, from 2:00-5:00PM at Alverno Villa, 200 N. Michillinda Ave., Sierra Madre. Chair of the Wine 
Tasting, Sue Levoe feels that the timing will lend itself to leisurely strolling about the Alverno Villa 
gardens while enjoying fine wine and delectable hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Many California vintners 
are already working with Bill Sullivan of The Bottle Shop to decide what wines will be offered. Sierra 
Madre and Pasadena restaurant owners are planning to serve dishes that will showcase their talents. 
Care is being taken to be sure that the foods offered will be able to be paired with the wines available 
for tasting. Live music will be performed throughout the afternoon.

This year’s Silent Auction will feature some exceptional items including artwork, jewelry, gourmet 
dinners, and theater and special events tickets. There will also be hourly opportunity drawings for 
special prizes.

If you wish to purchase tickets in advance, tickets to the Wine Tasting are $60 and can be purchased at 
the Sierra Madre Library, 440 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre (telephone 626 355-7186) or from 
these Sierra Madre businesses: The Bottle Shop, Savor the Flavor, and Arnold’s Frontier Hardware 
and Gifts . Proceeds from the Wine Tasting benefit the resources and programs of the Sierra Madre

FRIENDS OF THE 
SIERRA MADRE 
LIBRARY CELEBRATES 
60 YEARS

Founded in 1953, the Friends of the Sierra 
Madre Library is celebrating its 60th birthday 
this year. Established to promote awareness of, 
support for, and utilization of the high quality 
programs, services, and facilities of the Sierra 
Madre Library as a lifelong center of learning, the 
organization’s membership had grown to over 
300 Friends who provide countless volunteer 
hours supporting the library staff and raising 
money to augment that which is provided to 
the Library in the City’s budget. Funds raised 
by the Friends help provide resources as diverse 
as audio books, databases, computers and 
accessories, a defibrillator, reference and display 
materials, and newspaper subscriptions. The 
summer reading programs, the preschool story 
hour, classes at the library, staff training, and 
adult and teen programs are all paid for in part 
with money raised by the Friends.

Our fundraisers are the Best Used Book Sales 
held the first sequential Friday and Saturday 
every other month starting in February, the 
Wine Tasting being held this year on Sunday, 
February 19th, and the Art Fair which will be 
May 4th and 5th. For more information about 
any of these events, visit our website at www.
sierramadrelibraryfriends.org. If you would 
like to become a member of the Friends or if 
you’d like to volunteer at any of our fundraisers, 
you may contact Dave Hart, Membership, at 
446-8209, Martha Troedson at 355-0650 or Alan

at 355-6499 or Susan Gallagher at 355-7200 for

Remember that Henry Ward Beecher said, “A 
library is not a luxury but one of the necessities 
of life”. And the Beatles said that, “We get by 
with a little help from our Friends”.

the residents were at work. Unknown suspect(s) entered through any one of a number of unsecured

devices and jewelry were taken.

At approximately 9:30pm, Arcadia units responded to a burglary in progress call in the 1400 block 
of San Carlos. Two suspects were detained and Sierra Madre units assisted with the investigation. 
Similarities between this crime and a few of the residential burglaries in Sierra Madre were evident. 
Sierra Madre detectives are working closely with Arcadia PD to determine if these suspects can be 
linked to additional crimes.
