CELEBRATING THE HEART OF SIERRA MADRE (continued from Page 1) 

brought people together, lifted local voices, and inspired connection—especially during times of need - check out Ann & Hanna Show on Instagram. 

As applause filled the room and stories were shared, one message rang clear: Sierra Madre thrives because of its volunteers. Whether responding to emergencies, preserving our natural 
spaces, mentoring youth, supporting the arts, or simply showing up for neighbors in need, these individuals and organizations embody the very best of our community. 

The City of Sierra Madre and Chamber of Commerce extend their deepest gratitude to all who attended, supported, and continue to give their time and talents to this incredible town. 
Together, we celebrate not just this year’s honorees—but the enduring spirit of service that makes Sierra Madre shine.
