 Founded in 1960, the 
Pasadena Senior Center is 
an independent, nonprofit 
organization that offers 
recreational, educational, 
wellness and social services 
to people ages 50 and older in 
a welcoming environment. 
Services are also provided 
for frail, low-income and 
homebound seniors.

 
North Woods Inn, San 
Gabriel and The Galley right 
next door have joined to 
benefit the Pasadena Ronald 
McDonald House with a 
toy and canned food drive 
for the holidays. These two 
popular restaurants enjoy 
helping those whose families 
are going through medical 
challenges.

 The public is encouraged 
to bring a new unwrapped 
toy (worth $10 or more) or 
7 non-perishable food items 
to either North Woods Inn 
San Gabriel or The Galley 
(also known as The Boat). 
Donors will receive a coupon 
for a small salad and bread at 
The Galley or a coupon for a 
free dessert at North Woods 
Inn.

 Both restaurants are festive 
with holiday décor and 
encourage patrons to help 
make Christmas a little 
brighter for the families who 
stay at the Pasadena Ronald 
McDonald House.

 Since opening in February 
2004, more than 18,600 
children and families have 
stayed at the Pasadena 
Ronald McDonald House. 
Families who need services 
are referred to them by 
medical personnel. The 
House has served families 
from California, Arizona, 
Colorado, Nevada, New 
Mexico, Florida, Idaho, 
Minnesota, Hawaii, Oregon, 
and North Carolina. They 
have also been honored to 
serve international families 
from Canada, Columbia, 
Guam, Guatemala, Iraq, 
Mexico, Russia, South Africa 
and Vietnam. Last year 45% 
of the families were new 
families.

 “It is important to 
remember what the holidays 
represent that the spirit of 
giving is what makes the 
holidays truly special. Who 
better to receive these gifts 
than children who can 
really use the toys and food,” 
says Renee Clark, General 
Manager of the Galley.

 “Their needs include food 
as well. Canned food and 
other non-perishables are 
imperative to keep the House 
running,” says Richard 
Selvik, General Manager of 
Clearman’s North Woods 
Inn, San Gabriel. Both 
locations will have donation 
boxes for these items 
starting Friday, November 
25 through December 23.

 Clearman’s Galley is located 
at 7215 N. Rosemead Blvd. 
in San Gabriel. Hours are 
11-9 Monday – Thursday, 
11-10 Friday & Saturday, 
and 10-9 on Sunday.

 
Join the Pasadena 
Symphony Association 
December 3 and 4 for one 
of Pasadena’s most cherished 
holiday traditions — the 
Holiday Look In.

of Pasadena’s magnificent

reciting, reading or listening 
to poetry is invited to Poetry 
Fest! Sunday, Nov. 20, from 1 to

Pet of the 
Week

 Six-year-old Pluto 
(A400608) is an active pooch 
looking for a new home. 
This neutered male, black 
and white pit bull mix enjoys 
exploring on walks and 
absolutely loves playtime, 
especially if it involves a 
new squeaky toy. There’s 
nothing he enjoys more 
than tossing a toy around 
before snuggling up close 
for some love and affection. 
Pluto has mastered his sit, 
down and stay cues, earning 
him a Blue Ribbon from our 
behavior staff and reducing 
his adoption fee to just $100. 
From his friendly smile to 
his loving personality, this 
dog has it all – except for 
a forever home. Will it be 
yours?

 Since Pluto has earned his 
Blue Ribbon, his adoption 
fee is just $100 and includes 
the spay or neuter surgery, 
microchip, and vaccinations. 
Pluto also qualifies for our 
Seniors for Seniors program, 
so his adoption fee is only 
$20 for adopters age 60 and 
up.

 New adopters will receive a 
complimentary health-and-
wellness exam from VCA 
Animal Hospitals, as well 
as a goody bag filled with 
information about how to 
care for your pet.

 Call the Pasadena Humane 
Society & SPCA at (626) 
792-7151 to ask about 
A400608, or visit at 361 S. 
Raymond Ave. in Pasadena. 
Adoption hours are 11 a.m. 
to 4 p.m. Sunday; 9 a.m. 
to 5 p.m. Tuesday through 
Friday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 
Saturday.

 Pets may not be available 
for adoption and cannot be 
held for potential adopters 
by phone calls or email. 
Directions and photos of 
all pets can be found at 
pasadenahumane.org.

Today Rose Bowl Annual 
USC/UCLA Rivalry Game

 The Rose Bowl Stadium, 
home to UCLA Football, 
will host the Bruins’ annual 
rivalry game against USC 
tonight, with an official 
kick-off time of 7:30 p.m.. 
The Pasadena Police 
Department, UCLA and the 
Rose Bowl Stadium urge fans 
to arrive early and consider 
either carpooling, taking 
shuttle buses or utilizing 
other means of shared 
transportation to alleviate 
travel time, traffic and delays 
entering the Arroyo. As with 
all well-attended events at 
the Rose Bowl Stadium, 
traffic can be expected, so 
patrons are advised to plan 
their trip in advance.

 The Rose Bowl Stadium is 
a clear bag venue, so all bags 
entering the stadium will 
need to be compliant. To 
ensure being in their seats 
for kickoff, patrons should 
allow for extra time to pass 
through security screening. 

 All general parking lots 
open (6) six hours prior 
to kick off, at 1:30 PM, 
including RV and parking 
for disabled patrons. There is 
no space for patrons to wait 
on public streets adjacent to 
the Rose Bowl for parking 
lots to open at 1:30 PM. 
To save time on event day, 
patrons can pre-purchase 
parking passes online from 
ParkJockey. Overnight 
parking is prohibited, 
including overnight RV 
parking. All parking is first 
come, first parked and all 
parking lots close 90 minutes 
after the conclusion of the 
game. Disabled parking is 
available at various locations 
at the Rose Bowl Stadium. 

 Free shuttle buses, as a 
convenience, it is strongly 
recommended that fans take 
advantage of originating 
from Old Pasadena at 
Parsons Engineering, located 
at Union St and Delacey 
St. Shuttle buses begin 
running to the Rose Bowl 
Stadium beginning four (4) 
hours prior to kick off and 
continuing 90 minutes after 
the end of the game. Parking 
is available at Parsons 
Engineering, entrance at 
Union St at Delacey St, or 
in any nearby parking lot 
in Old Pasadena. Parking 
fees range are $15 per car at 
Parsons or at variable prices 
in the city.

 Public transportation is a 
great alternative for getting 
to the game. Los Angeles 
County Metropolitan 
Transportation Authority 
(METRO) Gold Line 
is available with the 
Memorial Park Station stop 
conveniently located two 
blocks from the free shuttle 
to the Rose Bowl Stadium. 
Please visit metro.net and 
search “Gold Line” for light 
rail information. 

 Carpooling is crucial. The 
small difference between 
four versus three people 
riding per car results in 
8,000 fewer vehicles on the 
road, greatly streamlining 
traffic and parking. 

 Visit the rosebowlstadium.
com for more information 
and a complete list of 
stadium rules and prohibited 
items for entry.
