You just haven’t met him yet! Our sweet little Chihuahua Riley has been waiting quite sometime for his forever family to come and adopt him. He was ownersurrendered because he was being bullied in his home by the other dog there. Riley is a terrific little guy with personality-plus. He is a little burrower who loves his little doggie beds and to burrow under towels, blankets or whatever is laying around for him to curl up in for warmth. You can check out the antics of this lively and animated little pup in his video on our website. He is completely housebroken and is fine with all other dogs. Riley is as sweet as pie and a love of a little guy. He is approximately seven to eight years old, very small at five pounds and has no problems eating whatsoever even though he only has a few teeth. Riley is just darling, to say the least, and he would like nothing more than to be your constant companion, purse or lap dog. Riley is neutered, current on vaccinations, de-wormed, microchipped, good with other dogs, and would be best with children 10 and over for his safety due to his small size. To learn more about Riley, visit our website at www.animalsrule.org or come meet him at our Saturday adoption event and be prepared to fall in love. Many thanks to Herald Publications, Vickie Schumacher, Diane & Annette, Andria Ruetmann honoring her mother Vivian Larkin, and Helen Evers honoring the memory of Magic Dantzer for their support and sponsorship of Riley. Saving one animal won’t change the world, but you can certainly change the world for Riley. • Riley Hawthorne Happenings News for the ‘City of Good Neighbors’ MARCH MADNESS BEGINS The NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball championships have begun. The ritual of filling out a bracket by selecting the winning teams of over 80 games to be played by each gender has become a standing practice in offices and workplaces across the USA. Sometimes the less you know about the teams the better you do in your office pool. I have known women who select by the mascot or team colors of a university. If nothing else, each school in the championship is given wide spread publicity. The success of an athletic team has been known to bolster the alumni giving and bring in some major donations for the academic programs along with the athletic squads. Selecting the upset winners is the tricky part of doing this. A billion dollar jackpot has been offered to the person who can fill out a perfect bracket. The odds are astoundingly against anyone winning the jackpot. That’s what makes the whole thing a “madness”. LAST CALL FOR GOLFERS The Silver Anniversary of the Hawthorne Parks and Recreation Foundation Golf Tournament will be held this Monday, March 24 at Coyote Hills Golf Course in Fullerton. If you wish to play and support a good cause, then contact Dick Huhn at 310-643-9157. STATE OF THE CITY Mayor Brown will deliver his first State of the City Address on Friday, March 29 at noon at the Memorial Center. Tickets are $50. There is free seating for the public who want to attend to listen to the speech. Chris Montez Concert this July Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 19 for our 4th Annual Good Neighbors Day. We just received confirmation that one of our very own, Hawthorne grown, Chris Montez will perform in concert as a benefit to Hawthorne and the Historical Society. I received several calls last week asking whether the real Chris Montez would be performing. There seems to be a lot of older folks who remember Chris from his 1960’s Hawthorne days. HAWTHORNE YESTERDAY AND TODAY If you would like to receive the first edition of the Hawthorne Historical quarterly magazine entitled “Hawthorne Yesterday and Today”, then email your email address to me and we will send you a copy via email or if you wish to receive a hard copy then contact me and we will send you out a copy via the US mail. The eight page news magazine has articles on the founding of Hawthorne and Marilyn Monroe’s childhood time in Hawthorne. We are looking for companies who wish to advertise in the magazine for future editions. We have such a rich history, its fun to share stories of times gone by and the amazing stories of famous Hawthorne people. PANCAKES ANYONE? I’m the chairperson for our 9th Annual “God Bless America” Pancake Breakfast to be held this year on Saturday, March 29th at Ascension Lutheran Church located at 17910 S. Prairie Avenue in north Torrance. We served close to 500 people last year. The pancakes, bacon, sausage, orange juice, and coffee are all good, along with the live music and raffle prizes. The breakfast is still only $5.
