UNITED AGAINST HATE AMONG ITEMS ON 

MONROVIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

On Tuesday, 
November 7th, 
the City Council 
received $2 million 
from Assembly 
member 
Chris Holden's 
office for the 
Canyon Park 
Restoration 
Project. Assembly 
member 
Holden recognized 
the work 
that the City has 
been doing and 
the effort dedicated 
to making 
resources 
available to our 
community. We 
couldn't thank 
Assembly Member 
Holden 
and his office 
enough for the 
support we've 
received to help 
restore our beloved 
Canyon 
Park!

During the meeting, the City Council also proclaimed November 2023 as Pulmonary Hypertension 
(PH) Awareness Month. PH is a rare disorder that affects more than 18,000 adults each 
year. With education and effective treatment, the disorder can be managed. The Council hopes 
that education and research funding will help find a cure.

Lastly, the Council recognized the week of November 19th as National "United Against Hate 
Week." Every person in Monrovia, as well as the rest of the world, deserves to be treated fairly 
and with dignity regardless of their origin, race, faith, and sexual orientation. 

 
Kids’ Night Out is a night for kids to have fun with arts and crafts, games, watch a 
movie, and enjoy a light dinner. The program is for ages 5-12 and supervised by Recreation 
staff. 

The next Kids’ Night Out will take place on Friday, November 17, from 6-10pm with 
a Turkey Harvest theme for only $30 per child. 

Turkey Harvest is a Thanksgiving style celebration where kids can enjoy a light meal 
together and share what they are thankful for. The fun takes place at the Arcadia 
Community Center, 365 Campus Drive, Arcadia. Register online at www.ArcadiaCA.
gov or in person at the Arcadia Recreation office. For more information, please 

call 626.574.5113.

HONORING UNSUNG HEROES

Outgoing Duarte Kiwanis Club President, Reyna Diaz, wanted to be sure to recognize 
those "unsung" heroes in her life this year. She presented Community Service Awards 
to Rosa Holguin and Yolanda Cecilia Amaya. Now the interested part is that Yolanda 
is Reyna's sister - always available at a moment's notice and Rosa isn't even a member 
of the Duarte Kiwanis Club - she's a member of the Duarte Rotary Club! Thank you 
Ladies for all your service!

If you are interested in joining the Duarte Kiwanis or presenting at a future meeting, 
please contact Tina Carey at tinac51@aol.com.
