Last Thursday, Office Ambassador Paulette Chaffee attended the ribbon cutting for the newly renovated, baseball themed Tuffree Park. ⚾️🌳🛝

As part of the park updates, Tuffree Park was designated as a Play On! playground from PlayCore as a project of excellence for meeting best practices in youth fitness through sliding, swinging, spinning, climbing, brachiating, and balancing. When visiting the park, guests will be able to scan a QR code and provide their feedback on the park equipment.

Congratulations to the City of Placentia and Placentia Community Services Department on the completion of the park.

Tuffree Park is located at 2101 Tuffree Blvd. in Placentia.

Today, the Board of Supervisors recognized April as Arab American Heritage Month.

There are an estimated 3.7 million Arab Americans and over half a million live in California. Orange County has a growing Arab American community, and has the first nationally recognized Arab cultural district, Little Arabia, in Anaheim.

Arab American Heritage is diverse, with different nationalities converging together to create a rich heritage. In April, we celebrate this diverse heritage and ensure the stories and accomplishments of Arab American leaders are acknowledged and highlighted.

It was an honor to have these Orange County Arab American leaders here to accept the resolution:
🔺 Ayah Shiadah, Program Manager at Arab American Civic Council
🔺Mirvette Judeh, Community Advocate and Buena Park Planning Commissioner
🔺Rima Nashashibi, President of Global Hope 365
🔺Nahla Kayali, Founder and Executive Director of Access California Services
🔺Ahmad Zahra, Fullerton City Council member
🔺Tharwa Ahmad, Buena Park School District President

Thank you to all the Arab American leaders here in Orange County for your contributions in creating a more diverse and equal society.
