Pasadena’s beautiful Arroyo Seco recently served as the backdrop for the Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA’s annual Heroes Circle Reception, held at the home of Dr. Richard and Kathleen Diehl. Some 125 of the shelter’s top donors enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the expansive back lawn of the Diehl’s home as they were recognized for their continuing support of PHS. The event also served to introduce the Humane Society’s new president and CEO, Dia DuVernet, to supporters and volunteers. DuVernet, who was most recently president and CEO of the Virginia Beach SPCA, assumed her new duties on June 10.
