History.com says, “On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as ‘the Great War.’  Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, Nov. 11 became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.” We salute our veterans. Thank you for being the brave of our nation.

If you are free this Saturday, Nov. 13, join the Early Rodders with their Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Classics and Exotics for their Foothills Fun Run. It’s a poker-run cruise through La Crescenta ending with a breakfast at Bob Smith Toyota. Vehicles will start at the UA Theaters and make stops at various businesses, such as Pyramid Sleep Shop and Leo’s All-Star Sports Bar & Grill. At each stop they’ll receive a card to make up their poker hand and then make their way to Bob Smith Toyota for breakfast and to see who wins with the best poker hand.

Important dates: Dec. 8 – Business mixer at April Ray Salon.

Please call our office for more details on any event.
