I received a note from Alex Zucco that the new football field will be dedicated this Friday at 5:30 pm. I will be there and hope to see many Monrovian's there for this celebration. It has been a long time coming and should be worth the wait. The home game will follow the field dedication.
Please come on down and cheer the Wildcats to victory over Arcadia.

Monrovia is looking into the possibility of acquiring a piece of the Twin Towers that were destroyed on September 11, 2001. 1025 communities have received a piece of the Twin Towers steel from The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Each of these must also be released by a Federal Judge since this is still crime scene evidence.
I have asked for the help of Congressman Dreier and his staff and will report back on our progress.
