LOCAL GROUP DONATES TO SIERRA MADRE SEARCH AND RESCUE

e St. Rita Men's Club presented a check for $2,500 to the Sierra Madre Search & Rescue earlier 
last week at the local rescue organization's Stonehouse Road station house in Sierra Madre. To the 
sound of applause from its membership, a very grateful SMS&R President Jon Pedder accepted the 
donation on behalf of his organization from St. Rita Men's Club President Jeff Throop and other 
members who participated in the August 27th ceremony. 

This donation from the St. Rita Men's Club and its membership continues a relationship between 
the two organizations which started two years ago when a similar donation was made for training 
necessities. 

The SMS&R team plans to use the $2,500 donation to purchase gear for a new rescue vehicle and 
will ensure successful response to emergencies anywhere in the wilderness for those who need 
assistance.

 A decades-long fixture in the community, the Sierra Madre Search & Rescue is an all-volunteer 
organization with trained professionals who come to the aid of those who use mountainous terrain 
and wilderness areas. Sierra Madre Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer, professional, unpaid non-
profit 501(c)(3) organization. The organization relies on donations for 100% of its operating costs.


WORKING TOGETHER TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY

 
Last week, Officer Garcia and Detective Rogers partnered with BMO Manager Asme Chaudry, 
engaged with members of the Sierra Madre community (above) about fraud prevention. They 
shared valuable tips on how to recognize comment scams, and how to protect yourself from being 
the victim. 

 If you or someone you know in Sierra Madre has experienced fraud or suspects fraudulent activity, 
please don’t hesitate to contact the Sierra Madre Police Department. We’re here to help. #FraudPrevention
