Last Saturday, I had the honor of helping the North East Santa Ana Little League (NESALL) kick-off the 2020 season!

Congratulations to Eagle Scout Zach Siebert for receiving the Road to Eagle Scholarship after fundraising for NESALL’s brand new bullpen. With the help from construction lead, Bob Colgam, Zach and his team invested 700 hours on this project.

I also want to recognize outgoing president, Dwayne Anglebrandt, for his amazing service in NESALL.

And congratulations to the incoming president, Rudy Zamudio!

Over the weekend, team Andrew Do attended the West Garden Grove Youth Baseball Opening Day parade and ceremony!

Special thanks to all the parents and coaches that made it all possible!

Last Thursday, team Andrew Do participated in Project Youth OCBF’s Career Day.

Juniors and seniors from Project Youth and the Achievement Institute of Scientific Studies (AISS) chatted with representatives from local universities and a variety of other career fields. Students also got the opportunity to listen to a panel discussion and participate in one-on-one interviews.

Thank you to Karen Ruan, executive director of Project Youth, and Debbie Wells, executive director of AISS, for allowing my team to talk to students about local government and some of the internship and job opportunities available with the County of Orange.

Last Friday, I sponsored the Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove Youth of the Year Recognition Dinner. Congratulations to all 15 recipients and special thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Garden Grove!

Congratulations to Freddy Gonzalez Jr. and Michael Gonzalez of Garden Grove on your Eagle Scout Court of Honor!
