The South Pasadena SPTOR Committee held a productive meeting on September 8, 2025, highlighting significant progress in community projects and ongoing support for local veterans.

Brandon, the co-chair, reported on recent activities, noting a successful yard sale that contributed to community engagement and cleanup efforts. The committee has been actively working on site improvements, including the cleanup of the lower basement and the deco container, which now features new shelving. This enhancement, achieved with the help of construction teams, marks a long-awaited upgrade for the committee.

Additionally, the committee received a certificate of appreciation from the American Legion for their ongoing support, particularly in donating unsold items from the yard sale to benefit veterans. This collaboration has been a cornerstone of their community service efforts.

In a call for community support, Janet mentioned a pressing need for laptops for 11 homeless college students living on campus. The committee is encouraging residents to donate any unused laptops to assist these students in completing their schoolwork.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to enhancing local facilities and supporting vulnerable community members, setting a positive tone for future initiatives.
