Reception Honoring Pat Alcorn, Sierra Madre's Older American of the Year

In recognition of Pat Alcorn’s dedicated volunteer service to the community, Sierra Madre will be honoring her at a local reception held at the Hart Park House Senior Center on Friday, May 13, 2011 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Sierra Madre's Senior Community Commission recently selected Pat Alcorn as the Older American of the Year for 2011. Pat has actively contributed to the Sierra Madre Community since 1964 when she and her husband moved from Pasadena.  

Her recent activities have included the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library Wine Tasting where she served as the co-chair for the past two years, she is currently co-chairing the City of Sierra Madre Community Services Commission but her community involvement has also included being past President of the Sierra Madre Civic Club, a graduate of the first Sierra Madre Citizen’s Emergency Response Team training and three time Creative Arts Group Garden Tour Docent.
