Members of Tustin High School’s chapter of the National Art Honor Society (NAHS) have created a new mural in Peppertree Park in Tustin. The mural was designed by Christin Ibrahim, a 2013 Tustin High graduate and past president of Tustin NAHS. Ibraham answered a call from the City of Tustin for artists to submit proposals for a mural reflecting Tustin’s commitment to the arts. She included collaboration with current NAHS members in her proposal, and her design was selected. NAHS members helped prep the wall, layout Christin’s design and paint layer after layer to complete the project. Tustin High students Jalyn Reeves and Joyce Agis headed up the NAHS team, organizing work crews and communicating work schedules. They also spent many hours working hands-on alongside NAHS members Samantha Arroyo, Malintzin Blanco, Michelle Bravo, Lucia Conejo, Daniela Diaz, Wendy Estrada, Tiffany Guillen, Genesis Guzman, Nadeen Heyari, Chelsea Lobato, Brian Ngan, Anna Nguyen, Rossy Quintero and Arly Zavala. When it comes to painting a colorful wall mural, these students have got it covered. All in a day’s artwork. – Mark Eliot Senior flash mob invades Albertsons’ parking lot A dozen seniors, ranging from 70 to 85, performed a flash mob dance program in the parking lot of Albertsons, April 10, returning to the venue after the coronavirus shut them down last year. The Seniors Over Sixty (SOS) dance crew has entertained on- lookers with over 100 shows at various locations, including the Orange Albertsons for six years, with the exception of 2020. Now, fully vaccinated, the SOS dance crew inspires others by perform- ing an outdoor masked and so- cially-distanced dance program. The dancers live in Orange and Irvine, and have danced together every Tuesday and Thursday morning in a Zumba Gold class for over eight years. Instructor Susie Vanderlip moved the classes online when the gym closed last March, and now reports that seniors from as far away as South Carolina have joined the group. Research on aging promotes dancing as top of the list for deterring dementia, keeping senior bodies healthy, building brain cells, and fighting depression. The Albertsons on Chapman has previously welcomed the se- nior flash mob inside the store. Before the virus, store check- ers, baggers and managers have jumped in and danced along to invigorate customers. Assistance League of Orange honored Assistance League of Orange, an all-volunteer nonprofit that has served the greater Orange com- munity for 80 years, with over 20 philanthropic programs, has earned the Waymakers “Victim Service Award.” Waymakers works with trou- bled youth, families and victims of violence. Assistance League began a Kits of Kindness program for Waymakers, providing bags filled with fidget balls and sensory objects for distribution by Waymakers counselors and advocates to youth who are being processed and are awaiting trial. They have also provided Assault Survivor Kits containing new clothing and hygiene supplies for victims. Additionally, Assistance League provided items needed in the Lamoreaux Justice Center children’s waiting room.
