Old Towne Orange PLAZAREVIEW From the Publisher

Here at the Old Towne Orange Plaza Review , it warms my heart when readers express their appreciation for our publication. I especially enjoy receiving heartfelt correspondence that shows we are accomplishing what we set out to do. Our goal is to inform of the fine establishments and organizations offering wonderful products and services here. We also strive to tell the stories of inspiring community members working to make the city and world a better place.

In a recent letter, a reader said: “Your publication has helped our family discover good businesses to visit.” While another reader expressed: “I’m so happy that you keep publishing the Plaza Review. I always look forward to reading it. It truly keeps me informed about the businesses and homes that you feature. I hope you never stop publishing!”

In this issue, we feature opportunities to engage in inspiring and fun community events this spring. These include the Woman’s Club of Orange’s 84th Annual Spring Flower Show to be held on April 13 (pg. 8). Then there is the Taste of Orange on May 7 put on by the Assistance League’s Orange Blossoms, with proceeds benefitting women and children in need in Orange (pg. 9).

In our New to the Neighborhood column on page 12, learn all about Grow & Share, an organization that harvests unused fruit and distributes it in underserved local communities. Then on page 28, find out about the dedicated folks bringing an upcoming Art Walk to Orange.

These are just a handful of events occurring during this time of renewal here in Orange. I wish you an enjoyable spring full of fresh beginnings and possibilities.

Sincerely,

Mike Escobedo
