MV City News: Businesses Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month

10/4/2019

2 Comments

 
The Shops at Mission Viejo is partnering with Mission Hospital and Valiant Women to host the 17th annual Think Pink Breast Health Wall of Honor, giving the community the chance to contribute to the wall and honor breast cancer survivors and patients.

The Wall of Honor is open through Thursday, October 31st in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Over the past 17 years, The Shops at Mission Viejo and its partners have raised more than $849,000 for Mission Hospital through the Wall of Honor. Last year alone, more than $60,000 was raised through generous donations from the community.  

All donations will go toward breast cancer diagnosis, screening and treatment for women in the community who are uninsured. All donations are accepted and merchandise like T-shirts and scarves can be purchased in support of the cause. A series of events will be held at the center throughout the month with proceeds going directly to the hospital.

Along with the Wall of Honor, you can support the cause by getting your car’s brakes worked on at Larry’s Independent Service at 25721 Taladro Circle, Unit A, as part of the annual Brakes for Breasts fundraiser. Through October 31, get free brake pads or brake shoes when your car receives complete brake service. The business will donate 10 percent of proceeds to benefit research for a breast cancer vaccine.

​To make a direct donation, visit www.brakesforbreasts.com.

City of Mission Viejo: Back-to-School Season Safety Tips

8/18/2019

0 Comments

 
The back-to-school season can be hectic for many parents and students, especially getting to and from school.  Since so many parents and kids arrive at school simultaneously, school zones often present a serious safety hazard for children. 

With kids heading back to school this month, here are some school-zone safety tips from the Automobile Club of Southern California to help reduce traffic hazards in and around school zones: 

  • Don’t text and use cell phones while driving or walking.
  • Use the existing school drop-off/pick-up system and discuss drop-off/pick up rules with your children.
  • Use a crosswalk when available. Don’t assume that because you can see the driver, the driver can see you.
  • Look all ways before crossing – and listen for cars, pedestrians and bicyclists.
  • Follow instructions provided by school crossing guards.

Every year from August 1 to October 31, the Auto Club launches an educational campaign to help reduce the number of traffic crashes near schools. The "School’s Open—Drive Carefully" campaign raises awareness of pedestrian fatalities, with a focus on safety before and after school hours. With increased risks and dangers related to cell phone use while behind the wheel, this year’s campaign also provides tips on how to prevent texting and driving.

​To obtain a free copy of the Auto Club’s "School’s Open—Drive Carefully" campaign materials, which include posters, bookmarks and safety tip cards, visit AAA.com/school safety.

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month: 5 Helpful Tips From Our City

7/4/2019

0 Comments

 
While Independence Day celebrations are a summer highlight for many folks, the loud noises from firework displays can cause your pet to become anxious, frantic and try to run away in order to find a safe haven.  

​A great increase in lost pets is seen each July at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, with July 5 being one of the busiest days of the year here and at shelters across the country. Fittingly, July is designated as National Lost Pet Prevention Month.

Here are 5 helpful tips to hopefully save you and your family from the heartbreak of losing a pet over the holiday:

  • Stay Inside - Try to keep your pet indoors at all times during holiday celebrations. Ideally, someone should stay at home with the animal.  If you must leave and take your dog, be sure to keep your pet leashed and wearing I.D. tags
  • Make then feel safe -  Comfort your pet and stay nearby if possible, and ensure that that the animal has access to a favorite toy and a familiar crate or "safe place."  If necessary, ask your veterinarian or local pet retailer about anxiety wraps or other similar products
  • Avoid the noise -  Keep windows closed and create “white noise” with a television, fan, or soothing music to help mask the loud noises outside
  • Act normal! -  Your pet takes cues from you and your family, so go about your standard routine as much as possible
  • Protect your pet before the fireworks begin - Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with current tags at all times, even if your dog is always indoors – and a microchip is a wonderful addition.  This microchip is an integrated circuit roughly the size of a grain of rice that is implanted just under the skin of the animal and contains vital contact information which can be read by a scanner.  It’s a great backup plan in case your pet manages to escape without a collar and tags

For more information, visit the Animal Service Center’s website or call 949-470-3045. #protectyourfamily #protectyourfurrycritters #mvchamber #missionviejo #missionviejochamber #weloveourgreatCity
