FIVE LOCAL STUDENT WIN EDUCATION 
AWARDS FROM SIERRA MADRE CIVIC CLUB

After much deliberation five local Sierra Madre graduating seniors have 
each won an Education Award given by the Sierra Madre Civic Club at their 
May 9th meeting at the Hart House in Memorial Park. The recipients include 
Elijah Griffin from La Salle High School, Erica Whiting from Pasadena 
High School, Aidan Crochetiere from Polytechnic, Katie Stapenhorst from 
Polytechnic, and Axel Tanner from Pasadena High School. All five of these 
award recipients were presented to the ladies of the Sierra Madre Civic Club 
on Thursday night as their families watched the ceremonies. Each child had 
personal information presented about them including their plans for the 
future and received their stipends. 

2017 PHILANTHROPIES FUNDED BY THE 
SIERRA MADRE CIVIC CLUB

At the Sierra Madre Civic Club’s May 9th meeting the philanthropies 
that will be funded for the 2017 year were announced. Funds were raised 
over the last year from a variety of fund raisers including the Concert 
in the Park, Confetti Eggs sales for the Fourth of July, The Community 
Garage Sale, the Shoppe that sells hand-made items the weekend after 
Thanksgiving in Kersting Court, recycled cans, bottles and ink cartridges, 
and the “Welcome Spring “ Fundraising Luncheon held on April 22 at St 
Rita’s church. By the end of the evening well over $20,000 had been given 
back to the community including the funds for the Education Awards 
presented that same evening to deserving high school seniors. The actual 
presentations of the funding will take place at the City Council meeting on 
May 23rd at 6:30 pm, as each philanthropy will be receiving their check.
