How GoMonrovia Works; Easter Egg Hunt; Big Water Bill Bump
In his latest weekly report City Manager Oliver Chi reported ...
~ GoMonrovia is now in effect. 50-cent car rides with Lyft, $1 half-hour bike rides with LimeBike and dial-a-ride is still in place. Here's how it works:
For a car ride you need to download the Lyft app for your smartphone. Then use the promo code "GOMONROVIA" when you order a car for a ride in the Monrovia area and the ride will cost 50 cents.
For LimeBike, download the LimeBike app to your smartphone. The app will tell you where the nearest bike is. Go to bike, snap a picture of the bike code to unlock it, then ride and park the bike somewhere where it won't be under foot.
If you are disabled, the current dial-a-ride service will still be available, and at a reduced fee, 50 cents for all riders.
Details: https://goo.gl/Ttn7JW
~ Easter Egg Hunt. March 31, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Recreation Park. Arts and crafts, face painting, carnival games, a petting zoo, wellness activities, healthy lifestyle demonstrations, toddler and teen activities.

~ You will see a big bump in the water bill that arrives in April. A typical single-family residential water customer will see a monthly increase of $16.87. If you think the fee will be an undue burden, you can apply for a senior, low income, or veteran's waver here: https://goo.gl/u616f1

Cody - A Nice Dog Who Needs a Home
Cody’s adoption fee is reduced to $100 because he has earned his blue ribbon (he knows his “sit,” “down,” and “stay” commands.) The regular adoption fee for dogs is $130. All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated before going to their new home. Cody also qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program, waiving his adoption fee for adopters age 60 and over.
New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet.
View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.
**Beginning March 22, the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is hosting a fee-waived “Sweet 16” adoption event to celebrate the 2018 NCAA March Madness Tournament. Learn more about adopting a pet or sponsoring a pet adoption at pasadenahumane.org/marchmadness.

Rob Hammond plans cross-country bicycle trip.
Monrovia Board of Education member Rob Hammond writes on Facebook that, “Easter Sunday (April 1) I am heading off on an adventure of over 3,000 miles riding a bicycle. I'll be riding from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida." He adds: "Please consider making a donation in any dollar amount $1, $5,$10... any amount you are comfortable with. Proceeds go to the PTAs in our district. If you would like to help out other educational groups there are links at the bottom of our web site. If you are not able to make a donation I still need one more thing. Please say a prayer for safe travels. Thank you all in advance. I hope you like the pictures along the way."

Lunch at Something Healthy
Lunch at Something Healthy, on the east side of Shamrock just nort of Huntington. Got the Farmer Sandwich (turkey, avocado, hummus, etc.) for $9.25, an iced tea for $1.50, and a cup of coconut curry soup for $2.25. Ya know, I think they accidentally left the turkey out of my sandwich, but a) I was in a big rush and b) it was sooo very good even without the turkey, that I happily ate it and ran out the door. Soup was also extremely good!
