Summary
The council recognized Red Cross Month and National Nutrition Month and heard announcements about upcoming city events: Easter egg hunts March 28, a Chalk Walk March 28, farmers market starting April 1, and an Arbor Day/rec center open house April 25; library and community groups also described ongoing programs.
San Dimas city leaders used the March 10 council meeting to highlight several spring events and community programs and to read proclamations for American Red Cross Month and National Nutrition Month.
City staff and community speakers announced dates and participation details: a downtown Chalk Walk will be held Saturday, March 28 (9AM–3PM) alongside the city’s egg hunt; the event will offer up to 71 chalk spaces and a $25 registration fee for artists, with sponsorship opportunities for local businesses, organizers said. Parks & Recreation staff said the city’s free Easter egg hunts (for ages 2–10) will run March 28 at Civic Center Park and Via Verde Park and urged early arrival for parking.
Scott Wasserman, director of Parks & Recreation, also previewed the weekly farmers market returning April 1 and running on Wednesdays through Sept. 16 at the Civic Center, and an Arbor Day/Earth Day recreation center open house on April 25 with fitness demonstrations, free swim, e‑waste collection, paper shredding and giveaways. The recreation center pool is temporarily closed for installation of swim starting blocks and is scheduled to reopen March 16, staff said.
Community presenters described ongoing library and arts programming: Nancy Munoz, teen and adult services librarian, outlined virtual and in‑person programs the library is offering while the building is under renovation, and a student delegation from the high school updated the council on recent academic and athletics achievements. The San Dimas Historical Society invited the public to monthly walking tours of downtown and to visit the Walker House museum.
Public safety staff and the Red Cross also used the meeting to promote donation opportunities. Captain Michael Mullen announced a Red Cross blood drive March 18 at the San Dimas Station EOC; the Red Cross representative asked residents to check redcross.org for local drives and shared a personal appeal to donate.
Most announcements were informational; no formal council action was required for the events listed. Residents seeking details were directed to the city’s and event organizers’ webpages and social channels.
