On Nov. 18 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., anyone who mentions La Cañada Flintridge Orthopaedic Guild (LCFOG) when ordering food at La Cañada Imports will be helping the local philanthropic group to continue its support of Orthopaedic Institute for Children (OIC). La Cañada Imports will donate a portion of all orders to LCFOG that will help children at OIC. In addition to pizza La Cañada Imports also offers sandwiches, homemade pasta dishes, salads and desserts.    

Deedee Nuanes, acting Ways and Means co-chair for LCFOG, invites the community to stop by and pickup lunch or dinner to go or to eat-in.

LCFOG has supported OIC for 65 years, both financially and by volunteering at the downtown facility. Those who purchase lunch or dinner from La Cañada Imports on Nov. 18 will also be “helping children grow well and play well” because that’s what the doctors at OIC do. Medical care is given to any child who needs it regardless of ability to pay or parents’ financial status. All monies raised through this fundraiser will go directly to OIC.

The LCFOG auxiliary formed in 1956. Today’s membership is small but mighty. Those who think they would like to help children “grow well and play well” might consider joining the ladies of LCFOG and reap the benefits of a job well done.

Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month September through June and all are welcome to join. For further information, please contact Deedee Nuanes at (818) 606-5631.

La Cañada Imports is located at 1537 Foothill Blvd. in La Cañada; phone is (818) 790-6277.
