But this past month there have been so many events to choose from — from our 5K Pumpkin Run on Oct. 4 to the Alhambra High School Homecoming Parade on Hallow- een. Amazingly, our 5K Pumpkin Run attracted nearly 1,400 runners and walkers at this first-time event! In conjunction with the “run,” the City banded together with Alhambra Hospital and USC School of Pharmacy to sponsor a community-wide Health Fair that drew hundreds of residents to Alhambra Park to be tested for blood pressure, cholesterol, and a multitude of other health-related issues at absolutely no charge. Our thanks go out to Iris Lai from Alhambra Hospital and Pharmacist Raymond Poon, who helped organize the event for the past two or three years. A special thanks to you both. “booths,” yours truly will have a Mayor’s Our City Staff did their usual fantastic Booth on the first Sunday of every month job blocking off respective streets, con- from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. I will be there to trolling traffic, and assisting the partici- answer questions, provide City informa- pants before, during, and after the run.
