SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE 2021: 

Invest in Our Future As this unprecedented year of challenges draws to a close, we are so 
grateful for the support of our Sierra Madre Playhouse family. Because 
so many of you responded to our Light the Lights Campaign, we can 
look forward to the day when we can again gather in the Playhouse. 
We've been busy planning our 2021 season, and we'll be announcing 
those plans very soon. We think you will be excited about what we have 
in store.

For those of you who haven't had a chance to make an investment in 
our future, won't you please consider making a gift today? Under the 
CARES Act, taxpayers who don't itemize deductions may take a charitable 
deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made in 2020. 

And taxpayers age 70 ½ or older can make a qualified charitable distribution 
from their IRA – up to $100,000 – directly to an eligible charity. 
(Of course, please check with your tax advisor to determine your own 
tax situation.)

Please consider including Sierra Madre Playhouse as a part of your 2020 
year-end giving.

From all of us at Sierra Madre Playhouse -

Good Riddance 2020 and Happy New Year, 2021!


Sierra Madre lost 
another of its' treasures 
this week when 
Frank Hall, 84 passed 
away after a long illness. 
Frank who is 
best known among his 
friends for his 'wonderful 
smile' and infectious 
laugh' was a compassionate 
man and a 
generous fundraiser 
and volunteer. In addition 
to being Sierra 
Madre Rotary Club, 
Rotarian of the Year, 
he was a Trustee of the 
Sierra Madre Library, 
and he also served on 
the Board of Mater 
Dolorosa. 

Born in Bakersfield, California, he graduated from the University 
of Southern California and ran a major insurance brokerage 
company. He was the founder of Frank R. Hall and Associates, 
consultants in Philantropic Support for Non-Profit Organizations. 
He also taught at UC Irvine. He literally raised millions of 
dollars for hospitals and non profits all over the country.

Frank is survived by his wife, Patricia, his son John Hall (Annabell), 
and daughter Julie Whitmer (Scott), and grandson Drew 
Whitmer. He was preceded in death by daughter Janine Hall.

In lieu of flowers we’d like to suggest donations to one of the following 
organizations that my father loved and supported….

• City of Hope, Duarte, California

• Thomas Aquinas College, Santa Paula, California

• Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles.

A Memorial Service will be announced in the future.


REMEMBRANCE

JEFF MCGUIRE


Jeffery Allen McGuire was born in Sierra Madre on April 17, 
1959. He was 61 years old when he lost his battle against the 
covid 19 virus.

 Jeff liked being his own boss, finding the trucking 
business much to his liking. He was an extremely caring 
person, giving much time and effort to causes he 
felt needed his help. He loved hiking, being a regular 
on Mt. Wilson Trail. Jeff cherished and coddled his 
dogs, taking them everywhere with him including 
First Water. Jeff found out he had a super ability to 
run long distances by accident one day when he decided 
to see how far he could run up the MW trail. He 
ended up having to carry his exhausted dog Penny, 
(65lbs) miles back home, and suffering from bloody 
worn-out paws. Jeff entered Sierra Madre’s famous 
Mt. Wilson Trail Race several times, finishing high in 
the upper class standings.

Jeff’s mom, Jackie Bryson Zapp McGuire passed away 
in 2015 and he is survived only by his lifelong partner, 
Rosalva, his older brother's family Michael and 
Christin Zapp, Tyler and Tia. Also of great importance 
to Jeff is his adopted niece, Mykenzi. 

Anyone who would like to send their condolences/
donations can do so at Sierra Madre Community 
Foundation Fletcher Fund, PO Box 716 SM Ca. 91025 
(This fund maintains our local hiking trails).
