ROSEMEAD CONNECTIONS FORUM MEETINGS RESUME
2012 events were the focus of the January meeting of the Rosemead Connections forum, which resumed at the Rosemead Safety Center January 26, 2012, after a two month hiatus. Seven items of note were covered, including:
Youth Summit Wen-Li Jen of the Asia-Pacific Family Center noted the upcoming Youth Summit, Saturday, February 25, 2012, at Garvey Intermediate School. It is open to all teens, not just those from Rosemead, and the workshops are closed to adults to optimize teen participation.
There are seventy co-sponsors this year, with booths and two sets of hour-long workshops, the latter beginning at 10:00 am and 11:30 am, respectively. A youth talent showcase is scheduled to start at 2:30 pm. A Financial Literacy booth featuring the Cool Stuff book from Rosemead Kiwanis will be included.
Graffiti Ordinance - City Manager Jeff Allred noted that the city’s anti-graffiti ordinance increasing parental responsibility is now on the books and Police Chef Tim Murakami noted that enforcement has already begun in one case.
Yard Sale and Fair - March 3, 2012, will be a community yard sale and emergency preparedness fair at Southern California Edison – as with many events in this article please click on link to the Community Calendar in the right hand column of this newsletter for greater details.
Rabies Shots and Dog Licensing - Thursday, March 29, 2012, will be the next rabies clinic and animal licensing event at the Rosemead Safety Center, 8301 Garvey Blvd,. Running from 6:00-7:30 pm this will be a cash only event – no checks or credit cards. Dogs must be on a leash and cats in a container.
School Site Cleanup – Saturday, April 21, 2012, will be school campus clean up day in several Garvey schools. Last year’s effort involving neighbors and community groups not only helped the seven school sites involved but also spilled over into adjacent yards. Chief Murakami noted that clean neighborhoods have greater pride and lower crime rates He advocated community groups extending what is being done on the school sites to Rosemead’s parks as well.
Girls Career Fair Saturday, April 21, 2012, is also the date for Adelante Mujer Latina, an education and career conference for girls ages 12-18 at Pasadena City College. It is featured here and will run from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. The event, including exhibitor booths, food, and workshops, will run from 8:00am -3:00 pm. A counterpart conference directed at young men was held in October, 2011, and is expected to be reprised this fall. Both events are projects of the Pasadena Youth Center.
