This year, the Tustin Community Foundation (TCF) is again working to make that happen for more than 3,000 people. “Project Pajamas brings smiles to deserving children, and even seniors, throughout our commu- nity with donations of PJs in sizes from newborn to XL,” noted TCF Executive Director Erin Nielsen. “This year, we hope to beat our 2023 record because everyone deserves clean, cozy, new paja- mas, especially when our nights turn cold.” Last year, new pajamas from local residents and businesses were distributed through part- ner groups including Big Broth- ers Big Sisters, Tustin Fam- ily Resource Center, the fam- ily resource centers at all Title I schools, Tustin Veterans Outpost, Mary’s Path, OC Rescue Mis- sion, Tustin Police Department’s Santa Cop, and numerous other Tustin-area programs. Donating is easy. New pajamas in any size can be dropped off at the Tustin Community Bank, 13891 Newport Ave., or at over 20 other locations. Cash dona- tions, via the TCF website, help supply sizes not covered by drop- offs. For more information on this program, a listing of drop-off lo- cations, or to donate online, see tustincommunityfoundation.org , or call (714) 393-8506.

Past presidents of the Villa Park Women’s League celebrated 55 years of fun and friendship at the “Summer of ‘69” anniversary fete. VPWL celebrates 55 years Congratulations to the Villa Park Women’s League on its 55th anniversary. VPWL was founded on Sept. 30, 1969, by a few women who wanted to plant trees and beautify their newly established city. They formed a social club and added numerous activities – in- cluding a gourmet group, bridge groups and an elegant annual holi- day party. Fifty-five years later, the first General Meeting of the 2024-25 year, themed “Summer of ’69,” was held at the same location as the inaugural meeting, Cerro Villa Middle School. Attendees in creative costumes from the 60s and 70s posed by a vintage VW bus at the entrance. Inside were artifacts from the past: old photos and vinyl records, ash- trays and candy cigarettes on the tables and era-appropriate music provided by the Villa Park High School Jazz Combo. Dinner and drinks recipes were gleaned from vintage VPWL cookbooks. To cap the celebration, the League’s first president, Sherry Zakowicz, accepted a plaque on behalf of the League that re- flects the names of the presidents through the years, It will hang in the city offices. Youngsters show off the pajamas they received from the Tustin Com- munity Foundation.
