AROUND TOW

By NANCY DAVIS, in 2009

Cars for schools: A fundraising campaign in which students sold tickets to the Orange County International Auto Show raised $15,000 for junior high and high schools in the city. Students in the Anaheim Union High School District sold tickets for the show, and all of the $10 ticket cost went directly to the buyer's school of choice to support academic or athletic programs. It was the first such fundraiser sponsored by the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association. Business leaders: Former Angel player and broadcaster Rex Hudler will be the special guest of a breakfast for business leaders hosted by Community Senior Serve at 8 a.m. on Oct. 11. SeniorServe provides Meals on Wheels to 1,000 seniors who have trouble leaving their homes. The breakfast is at 1200 N. Knollwood Circle. Information: 714-229-3375. Kiwanis sale: The Kiwanis Club of Anaheim Hills and Yorba Linda will hold a huge yard sale from 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday at El Rancho Middle School, 181 S. Del Giorgio Road. In addition to various household items, clothes, and furniture, the sale will feature more than 500 pairs of used jeans. Proceeds will benefit Ginnys Kids, the Eli Home, annual scholarships for local students and other projects. Anaheim is one of seven cities in the United States to participate in a pilot program aimed at creating strong neighborhoods and testing how they would respond or rebound in a natural disaster or other emergency. The program is arranged through the Community and Regional Resilience Institute (CARRI), a national effort supported by the Department of Homeland Security. A web-based plan includes six stages to guide communities on ways to improve their resilience. Results learned through the pilot program will be shared for future use in cities across America, organizers say. Information: reslHMtllS.org. We want your news.
