Crescenta Valley Chamber: A wet and wild mixer, and more awardees

What a splash the American Softub mixer was. Owner Todd Thornbury had one of the three viewable portable hot tubs demonstrating how relaxing they can be, (hydrotherapy for the mind and body), while the other two were demonstrating how sturdy the covers were for use as tables.

You might want to ponder sneaking into the patio showroom located at 2520 B Foothill Blvd., turn on the serene music, relax with a glass of milk or bubbly, and see for yourself. Should you want to call first (suggested), American Softub can be reached at 957-TUBS.

During the mixer, it was announced that Todd would be running for a seat in the Crescenta Valley Town Council. Those elections will be held on Nov. 3.

New members were introduced and given time to present what their businesses offer.

Last week we introduced some of our recipients for the annual recognition banquet. This week we would like to announce the recipients of the law enforcement and L A County Fire Department awards.

The awardees for California Highway Patrol: Officer Kris Faciane; Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department: Sergeant Joseph Raya; Glendale Police Department: Detective Joe Allen; and for the Los Angeles County Fire Department: Captain Greg Gussman of Station #63 in La Crescenta.

All were nominated by their departments.

The annual recognition banquet will be held on Thursday, Nov. 15 at the La Cañada Country Club.

The national anthem will be sung by sisters Rebecca Thomas and Tracey Thomas. The presentation of colors will be performed by our own CVHS Air Force JROTC.
