Supervisor Todd Spitzer Starts the Race at Dino Dash

Supervisor Todd Spitzer starting the race
 
Supervisor Todd Spitzer helped to kick off the 5k race at the 25th Anniversary Dinosaur Dash, which is held at the Market Place in Tustin. As a former high school English teacher and a former School Board Trustee, Supervisor Spitzer was glad to help with the event. Over 6,968 people registered and participated at the event and over 700 people volunteered.

Events included the timed 5K and 10K, the non-timed 2K “Fun Run” and the non-timed 15K and 50K bike tours. The Expo featured Dino Dash sponsor booths, Tustin Unified School District school booths and activities. All proceeds benefit the Tustin Public Schools Foundation and Tustin Unified students and schools. The event has raised more than $2.5 million in its first 24 years.

Supervisor Todd Spitzer to Present Award to Orange County Veterans Service Office at the 2015 Orange County Veterans Day Community Celebration

OC County Veterans Service Officer Marco Martinez, OC Veteran Advisory Council Member Chase Wickersham, Supervisor Michelle Steel, OC Veteran Advisory Council Member Marilyn Harris, Vice Chair Lisa Bartlett, OC Veteran Advisory Council Chair Bobby McDonald, and Chairman Todd Spitzer
 
 
Supervisor Todd Spitzer is scheduled to present an award to the Orange County Veterans Service Office to honor their recent award from the California State Association of Counties.

The OC Community Services’ Vets Helping Vets Work Study Program earned a Challenge Award for providing training and work experience for veterans. The program assists full or part-time veteran students or eligible dependents enrolled in a college degree or vocational trade school to gain practical experience working at the Orange County Veterans Service Office while receiving GI Bill benefits. The program has been a win-win for veterans and the County—the program has augmented existing resources while helping post-9/11 veterans with employment opportunities.

The 2015 Orange County Veterans Day Community Celebration program will begin at 2:00 pm and the event is open to the community. Click here for more information.

American Red Cross Presents Court with Excellence in Disaster Preparedness Award

(Portions courtesy of Superior Court of California County of Orange)

The American Red Cross presented the Orange County Superior Court with an award for “Excellence in Disaster Preparedness” for the Court’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program.

The American Red Cross established the award to recognize companies, organizations, and community groups for their superior emergency preparedness plans and to share model plans with other groups.

The Court’s Emergency Response and Security Services (ERSS) unit conducted an emergency preparedness analysis that revealed the need for a court-specific emergency plan and identified that employees wanted hands-on emergency training to prepare for disasters. As a result, the ERSS unit created and implemented an EOP and a hands-on CERT training academy.

Orange County Superior Court is the only court in the nation to have a recognized CERT program and one of the few in the nation with an EOP.
