Wednesday, April 22, 6:00 pm at Altadena Town and Country Club (2290 Country Club Drive, Altadena)

In addition to their demanding professional lives, Randy and Judy Wilson have always been very active in the community. Randy has served on the Board of Directors of Five Acres as well as The Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society of Los Angeles, and he is a past president of the West Pasadena Residents Association. Judy has been very involved with Mother’s Club Family Learning Center and served for a term as the organization’s president. She has also recently joined the Board at Descanso Gardens.

Both served independently on Pasadena Museum of History’s Board for many years, and served as President of the Board. As much as we miss having them actively involved, we are glad that it has finally given us the opportunity to honor this amazing couple.
