Altadena 125th Anniversary: Volunteers Needed, ACONA a Sponsor

As Altadena’s 125th birthday celebration on Nov. 3 draws nearer, the Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations announced Thursday that it is one of the sponsors of the event.

Altadena Heritage and the Altadena Historical Society, along with help from Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, are putting on the community-wide celebration and organizer Michele Zack said the event has over 50 sponsors.

Altadena Women’s Network is helping with publicity while Altadena Rotary is heading up the cash bar of beer and wine for the event that will be held Nov. 3 from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. in the Davies Building at Farnsworth Park.

ACONA organizer Elliot Gold shared that volunteers are still needed for the 125th anniversary, particularly:

• Folks who can bring food
• Folks who can volunteer an hour to help set up or help during the celebration
• Folks who can provide other resources (This could be many things so ask)

Contact Gold at elliotgold@aconaonline.org and Jane Brackman of the Altadena Historical Society at jlbrac@earthlink.net if you are able to help.

Correction: The original version of this article mentioned that ACONA was one of a "few" sponsors, but is actually one of many. The event has over 50 sponsors. Patch apologizes for the error.
