Turkey TROT FOR CHARITY!
11.21.16
Looking for a fun way to work up an appetite before this year’s Thanksgiving meal? You can still sign up for the Orange County Rescue Mission’s 3rd annual Turkey Trot 5k walk/run in Tustin on Thanksgiving Day at 8 a.m.!
The 5K run/walk at the Village of Hope is a great way to spend time outdoors while also helping families in need.
Packages range from $30 to $178, and all registration fees help to provide hot meals to homeless families. After completing one of the flattest USA Track & Field Certified 5k courses in Orange County, Turkey Trot participants will enjoy post-race awards and treats! This year, the goal of the Turkey Trot is to gain enough support to supply 30,000 meals for the homeless men, women and children living in Orange County. To register online, visit turkeytrotoc.com.
Registration opens at 6:30 a.m.; the 5k Run/Walk starts at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 24.
The Village of Hope is at 1 Hope Drive in Tustin.

Yappy Howl-iday Celebration
11.19.16
Santa Claus will be making a special appearance at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel’s dog happy hour on Sunday, Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 to p.m. The Yappy Howl-iday Celebration is one of the most fun and festive experiences you will share with your dog—and it’s an opportunity to be photographed with Santa Claus! In keeping with the resort’s Season of Giving, guests are asked to bring unopened canned or dry dog food, treats or dog toys to be donated to local animals in need.
Proceeds from the Yappy Howl-iday Celebration benefits the Canine Companions Veterans Initiative which provides an opportunity for veterans to regain their independence through the support of a Canine Companions service animal. To date, Canine Companions has placed 175 assistance dogs with veterans, with 37 active teams from the Southwest Region.
The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel is located at One Ritz-Carlton Drive in Dana Point.
