The Memorial Day Ceremony in Buena Park was attended by over 100 people today. It was inspiring and the singers were fabulous! The ceremony honored those who have served our country, and all vets were recognized. It was a great morning for sure.

It was a beautiful afternoon on the Cypress College campus for the scholarship awards today. Several hundred students gathered with their family and friends to receive over 100 separate-named scholarships (representing hundreds of thousands of dollars). Many scholarships are created by families who want to assist students in need. The vibe was celebratory, and everyone cheered for the scholarship recipients. The Cypress College Foundation coordinates the scholarship program, and it does a great job of managing the scholarships, raising money, and coordinating the awards ceremony. It was an afternoon of celebrations and lots of photos with very happy students!
