The Outlook
More than 400 firefighters, police and EMTs recently arrived at the La Casita Del Arroyo for the 21st annual First Responders BBQ hosted by the Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge offices of Coldwell Banker Realty.
The tradition was started by Rosey Bell, a Pasadena-based Realtor, who wanted to honor the heroes of Sept. 11.
This year’s event organizer Lori Ramirez, branch manager of the Coldwell Banker Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge offices, rallied real estate agents and staff members to make the BBQ an extra special meal for those who give so much to the community.
