Monrovia Fire Chief Named First Responder of the Year; 60th Community Prayer Breakfast Set for Nov. 20, Tree Lighting Nov. 19
In Monrovia, a city in Los Angeles County, California, City Manager Dylan Feik issued this week's City Manager's Update on November 13: Fire Chief Jeremy Sanchez has been named First Responder of the Year, the 60th Annual Community Prayer Breakfast is set for November 20, and the Thankful & Grateful Holiday Gathering and Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on November 19 at Library Park.
Fire Chief Jeremy Sanchez was named First Responder of the Year on November 6 by Assemblymember John Harabedian at the inaugural Harabedian Honors, which recognizes outstanding individuals throughout the 41st California Assembly District. Sanchez has served Monrovia Fire & Rescue for 25 years, beginning as a Fire Cadet in 2001 and serving at nearly every level of the department before becoming Fire Chief in 2022, and the award particularly recognized his leadership and assistance during the Eaton Fire.
The 60th Annual Community Prayer Breakfast, presented by the Monrovia City Council and the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Friday, November 20, at 8 a.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton Monrovia. This year's theme is "The Table," and educator, storyteller and world traveler Rev. Dr. Karen Ann Tremper will deliver the keynote. Tickets are $45 per person or $400 for a table of 10 and must be purchased by November 13 through the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce.
The Thankful & Grateful Holiday Gathering and Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 19, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Library Park, featuring live entertainment, library story times, community booths, arts and crafts, photo opportunities and horse-drawn carriage rides, with a special guest helping to light the Holiday Tree. Monrovia's annual Holiday Parade returns to Old Town on Thursday, December 3, at 7 p.m., traveling north on Myrtle Avenue from Walnut Avenue to Palm Avenue.
In anticipation of rain, self-serve gravel bins and bags are available at Recreation Park, 620 S. Shamrock Avenue, on a first-come, first-served basis. The Monrovia Chamber of Commerce is celebrating Small Business Month through November 28, with a passport listing 21 participating businesses; shoppers earn a red star for visiting a participating business and a gold star for making a purchase using that business's special offer, each star counting toward raffle tickets, and completed passports can be redeemed at the Chamber booth at Myrtle and Lemon avenues on November 28 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Two more community events follow on Saturday, November 14: the Monrovia Community Garden will hold a free DIY Garden Gifts workshop from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at 303 W. Colorado Blvd., with no RSVP required, and the San Gabriel Mountains Chapter of the California Native Plant Society will hold its native plant sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Monrovia Historical Museum, 742 E. Lemon Ave, where the City of Monrovia will give away 200 free native trees while supplies last.
Congressman Gil Cisneros's office is also accepting applications for its spring 2027 district internship program, based in person at the 31st Congressional District office in Covina. Interns help with constituent calls, federal casework intake, flyers, events and district projects; applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but those hoping to be considered for spring should apply by November 29, with preference given to applicants available at least three full days per week, and candidates with ties to the district and bilingual candidates strongly encouraged to apply.
