Get Ready to Wiggle 
Waggle Walk Sept. 30

 

 Grab your walking shoes 
and a leash for the 20th 
Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk 
at Brookside Park at the Rose 
Bowl in Pasadena on Sunday, 
September 30. The Pasadena 
Humane Society & SPCA 
(PHS) hopes to raise $200,000 
from the event, which will 
be used for food, shelter and 
medical care for the more than 
12,000 homeless PHS cares for 
every year.

 Thousands of people are 
expected to take part in the 
walk around the Rose Bowl. 
Animal lovers are encouraged 
to fundraise for the animals 
by registering as an individual 
or as part of a team on the 
Wiggle Waggle Walk website 
and asking family, friends and 
co-workers for donations. 
Supporters who are unable to 
attend the event can still donate 
via the Walk website.

 Participants can choose to 
walk a 1- or 3-mile loop around 
the Rose Bowl or stay behind 
to enjoy vendor booths at 
Brookside Park. Attendees do 
not need a dog to join the fun—
just a desire to help animals. 
New teams this year include 
the Cat Lovers and Kids for 
Animals.

 The event will feature Makoto 
Taiko Japanese Drum Ensemble 
as a special musical guest, and 
both Pasadena and Arcadia 
K9 units will be on site for 
exhilarating demonstrations.

 “The Wiggle Waggle Walk is 
a fun day out at the beautiful 
Rose Bowl to support the 
lifesaving work of the Pasadena 
Humane Society & SPCA,” said 
Julie Bank, the organization’s 
President/CEO. “Join us at our 
biggest fundraiser of the year to 
help us care for the thousands 
of animals who come to us in 
need of help each year.”

 Early bird registration is $20 
and includes a Wiggle Waggle 
Walk t-shirt, bib number and 
bandana for your dog. After 
September 11, the registration 
fee will be $25. Pre-registration 
is encouraged, but Walkers 
may also register at the event. 
Fundraisers can receive a spot 
in the coveted VIP Lounge 
by raising $500 or more. 
The VIP Lounge will feature 
complimentary breakfast 
goodies, beverages and free 
giveaways.

 Check-in opens at 8:00 
a.m. at Brookside Park. The 
Walk begins at 9:00 a.m. and 
festivities, including vendor 
booths, team photos, food 
trucks, music and even a canine 
costume contest, will continue 
until noon. Brookside Park is 
located at 360 North Arroyo 
Blvd in Pasadena.

 Supervisor Kathryn Barger cast the lone vote opposing 
an interim rent control ordinance adopted by the Board of 
Supervisors Tuesday. 

 “I understand the concerns about high rents in Los Angeles 
County but I’m also concerned about the impact of rent control on 
our local economy,” she said. “We have had minimal discussion 
regarding housing stock and the cost of burdensome regulations 
and zoning conditions that all affect housing affordability. The 
proposed rent control ordinance is not targeted, thus potentially 
benefitting high wage earners more than those whom the 
proponents claim to help, such as seniors and the chronically 
homeless. Without further study and consideration of the 
unintended consequences of rent control on the economy of our 
local communities, I cannot support the ordinance.”

South Pas Library to Launch 
New Teen Advisory Board

 The South Pasadena Public 
Library announced the launch 
of a Teen Advisory Board (TAB) 
this fall. TAB is a small team of 
high school students who will 
work with library staff to help 
shape library services for teens. 
TAB members will brainstorm 
ideas about improving the Teen 
Zone, recommend materials 
for the library to purchase, help 
plan and promote events, and 
assist with programs. 

 TAB will run from September 
19th through December 5th, 
2018 with meetings on selected 
Wednesday afternoons from 
4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Students 
must apply to participate 
in TAB and can download 
applications from the 
Library’s TAB webpage: www.
southpasadenaca.gov/TAB. 

 Participants will earn 
community service hours 
for attending meetings and 
helping with events. TAB will 
celebrate Teen Read Week in 
October by presenting Anime 
Your Way, a hands-on drawing 
workshop led by artist Brian 
Lopez on Wednesday, October 
10, 2018 from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. 
Designed for teens ages 13-17, 
the workshop is a step-by-step 
introduction to drawing in the 
manga style.
