Board of Directors

President

“Like many other Southern Californians, l had been going to Christmas Tree Lane for many years to see the colorful lighting display, but l only really became involved in volunteering when my wife and l began to bring our high school son to work here to fulfill his school’s community service requirements.  Everyone was so warm and welcoming that it made me want to stay and become more involved.”

“I have been going to Christmas Tree Lane for most of my adult life. It has always brought joy during the holidays to drive up and down the street seeing all the beautiful lights. But it wasn’t until a few years ago, when I moved into the neighborhood, that I realized all that hard work was done by volunteers.  I knew instantly that I wanted to be apart of it and help out in whatever way I can. It’s been a great honor to be apart of Christmas Tree Lane and work with all the amazing volunteers who enjoy lighting up the lane, and lighting  up people lives.”

“I lived in Altadena in the mid 1990’s, spending much of my time building my career and business. When I moved to a neighboring city – it hit me… I BELONGED in Altadena. It is my home – The people, the diversity, the trees and mountains, and the small town feel all in a greater metropolitan area of many millions. Happy to be ‘home’, I am excited to be part of this amazing group of volunteers that give so much to the community around them with nothing expected in return. From working on the Lane, to helping to raise awareness and funds for much needed care and maintenance of this historic treasure, I am again, home, and honored to be part of this organization.”

Historian Director

“Altadena has been my home for more than 47 years. I love this quiet community with its fascinating people, great neighbors, and stately deodars. What a wonderful place to have raised my children! I joined the CTLA Board about 14 years ago.  I joined, to give back just a bit of the joy that it had brought me. Altadena History is so interesting that I decided to learn more about its rich history, and how the Lane came to be. I am now the Lane Historian, and in charge of the Community Booths at the Winter Arts and Craft Festival. Come say hello!”

Board Director & Memorial Bulbs

“I enjoy the friendships I have made in my 10+ years of participating in CTLA. The fun of working in the fresh outdoors amongst the beautiful trees and the camaraderie that results from accomplishing a worthwhile and environmentally beneficial community effort, all make CTLA an enjoyable weekend and year-long activity.”

Board Director

Rob has been a Christmas Tree Lane resident for almost twenty years and became involved in the lane volunteering to help put up and take down the lights. He joined the board in 2021 to get involved with the centennial preparations. He also runs the model train club on Christmas Tree Lane that is open to the public on weekends in December.

Board Member

“For years, I would drive by that sign on the corner of Santa Rosa and Woodbury inviting volunteers to help decorate Christmas Tree Lane. Oh, next year, I would say. Well, it has now been 4 years that I have volunteered and I have enjoyed every minute, so much so that I am now serving on the Christmas Tree Lane Board. As someone born and raised in Altadena, I am very proud to be able to contribute to our community.”
