Living in La Canada Flintridge means that we have the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in our backyard! Now, there is constant debate as to whether JPL is in Pasadena, or in La Canada. But, whatever the outcome, it remains that JPL is on the border of the two communities.

Every year, this high-security facility opens it's doors to the public. The annual open house is this weekend, May 2 and May 3 from 9 am to 5 pm each day. And - it's free!

The open house showcases the projects of NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. There are exhibits and demonstrations, with scientists and engineers on hand to discuss and answer questions. If you have the opportunity to attend the open house, it's really worth the time!

To read more about it, visit the official website: JPL Open House

The La Canada Community Scholarship Foundation is one of the pillars of the La Canada Flintridge scholastic environment. The Foundation began in 1964, and to date has provided nearly $1,000,000 in scholarship money to deserving students. In today's economic environment, and with the cost of a higher education rising, the Scholarship Foundation is more important than ever.

This year, the Foundation is holding a raffle - "Win a Vespa!". Only 1,000 tickets will be sold. The prize is a new Vespa LX 150. The drawing will be held over Memorial Day weekend, as part of the annual La Canada community "Fiesta Days" celebration.

To learn more, go here: raffle - Win a Vespa!
