Wong is Arroyo’s Volunteer of the Month: Dorothy Wong, one of the movers and shakers of the Altadena Bicycle Club, was named Volunteer of the Month by the Arroy Seco Foundation. The foundation recognized the rockin’ biker for leading the Arroyo Seco Via, the bicycling portion of Alternative 20 support rally on Sept. 28. The foundation says that Wong also put together a series of Cyclocross events at Los Angeles Historic State Park and cares for the trees at the Foundation’s nursery.
Taste of … Altadena: The annual Artisanal LA showcase of local food small-scale food producers is this weekend, Oct. 12-13, and what would such a thing be without a strong Altadena showing? Organizer Shawna Dawson (who lives here) says there will be 178 vendors at the LA Mart event, along with 40 demonstrators. The Altadena Farmers’ Market will be throwing a mini-market at the event with many of its vendors attending.
Spooky season: The Arroyo Co-op is getting into the season early — they announced that they will be hosting a Halloween-themed open house on Sunday, Oct. 27, from 2-4 PM at the Co-op, 494 Wilson Avenue, Pasadena.
Energy and light: Lynne Olson of Altadena will have an opening of her solo photography show, “Light & Energy,” at LILLY (lillian montalvo landscape design) 1504 Mission Street in South Pasadena this Saturday, Oct. 12, from 5-9 PM. Olson’s medium is “abstract photography which intends to enhance our awareness of the energy and light that is always around us.” Her un-retouched images are “painted” with a camera and printed on an aluminum sheet to add luminosity. The show will be on display at LILLY through mid November. More information about Lynne and her show can be found at Heart-of-Goldie.com.
Flyby: Alice Wessen @ JPL lets us know there will be an outstanding overhead flyby of the International Space Station at about 7:45 PM tonight, along with the Draconid meteor shower — so if you’re not watching a game or something, check it out!
