My husband and I bought our first home in Sierra Madre, and raised our family there.  We have since moved 4 miles east to Arcadia and continue to be involved with the community events.  It is an honor to be a part of the Sierra Madre Community Foundation and to help preserve the many traditions and community spirit of Sierra Madre.
