Advisory for areas including the San Gabriel Valley it is importantto remind residents of tips to stay cool and safe. 

• Slow down, avoid strenuous activity. Do not try to do too
much on a hot day.
• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
Light colors will reflect heat and 
sunlight and help maintain normal body temperature.
• Protect your face with a wide-brimmed hat. 
• Drink plenty of water regularly and often, even if you do
not feel thirsty.
• Stay hydrated. 
• Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do not have air
conditioning, stay on your lowest 
floor, out of the sun or go to a place where you canget relief from the heat, such as air 
conditioned, library, theaters and other community facilitiesthat may offer refuge during

 the warmest times of the day. 

• Electric fans do not cool the air, but they do help evaporate
perspiration, which cools your 
body. 


• Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sunwith drapes, shades, awnings or 
louvers. Outdoor awnings or louvers can reduce the heat
that enters a home by up to 80 
percent. 


• Check on family, friends and neighbors. 
If you believe you, or anyone you are with, is experiencing a heat-
related medical emergency, promptly call 911, and if possible,
move to a cooler place.

The July 19th Concert in the Park 
featuring “Sgt. Pepper – A Beatles 
Tribute” was cancelled due to rain. 
The band has graciously agreed to 
come together and get back on stage 
for a make-up show on Sunday, 
August 16th, which will extend the 
Concert in the Park season. The Senior 
Community Commission and the Los 
Angeles County Arts Commission 
are proud to sponsor this additional 
evening of rock and roll music before 
the end of the season because it won’t 
be long until the children are back in 
school. 

The concert will begin at 6:00pm 
and conclude at 8:00pm. The Senior 
Community Commission will be 
providing free popsicles. Bring your 
blankets and lawn chairs, which are 
allowed to be set out the night before 
or any time at all on Sunday. Enjoy 
the music and the watch the kids 
“twist and shout” in front of the stage. 
It will surely be another wonderful 
performance and something to 
remember to help us all close out 
another wonderful season of Summer 
Concerts in the Park.
