In a vote directly related to the economy, La Canada Flintridge residents have voted to approve Measure LC, giving the award-winning La Canada School District a much-needed influx of funds.
Measure LC provides for a parcel tax of $150 per parcel, per year for each of the next five years.
There is a Senior Exemption for residents age 65 and older, and and exemption for owners of contiguous parcels owned by the same owner (so that owner pays the tax once for the contiguous parcels). To qualify for these exemptions, you must apply by July 17th, 2009. More information is on the Measure LC website here: Measure LC Frequently Asked Questions.

This weekend is the annual Fiesta Days celebration in La Canada Flintridge. There are events scheduled throughout the weekend.
Today you can go to "Afternoon In The Park" which includes a Food Court, Games, Music and more at La Cañada Memorial Park from noon to 3:30 p.m.
Tonight is the Family BBQ, Music and Fireworks Show at Memorial Park. The BBQ dinner starts at 6 pm. Bring your blanket, or stake out one of the tables and chairs that are set up on the grass. The High School Jazz Band will perform at 6:30 pm, followed by the fireworks show at 8:30 pm.
Tomorrow, Memorial Day, starts out with the Crescenta Cañada YMCA Fiesta Run. The start is at Descanso Gardens at 7:30 a.m. We like to watch the runners go by our front yard.
You can attend the Memorial Service at La Cañada Memorial Park at 9:00 a.m.
And, what would Memorial Day be without our local parade! Each year the two east-bound lanes of Foothill Boulevard are blocked off for the event. This year's theme is "Team Up for Schools" and the Grand Marshalls are the local area school principals. The parade starts at 10:30 am. We like to say that everyone from the community is in the parade - so we need you to come out and watch the parade!

We hope to see you there!
