Viejo Little League’s 11-year-old All-Star team gained forever bragging rights by winning the District 68 Championships.

Keep your eyes on the skies: The Great American Eclipse is almost here. In fact, it takes place on Monday, August 21.

In San Diego, the sun will likely be obscured by nearly 60 percent when the moon crosses in front of it. The eclipse is expected to last from 9 a.m. until around noon.
NASA has created an interactive eclipse map where you can find out exactly what time the eclipse starts where you are by clicking your location.

Thirteen Orange County cities are collaborating on a study to evaluate operational cost and efficiency opportunities in the delivery of police services from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.  While the 13 cities acknowledge and appreciate that it is more cost effective to contract with the Sheriff’s Department rather than form their own police departments, it is nonetheless time to evaluate opportunities for greater efficiencies, share regional service costs and even consider sharing staff positions.  

The back-to-school season is quickly approaching, which means more school buses, children walking and running across the street and riding their bicycles to school. Afternoon hours are particularly dangerous for children walking. Motorists can prepare for the back-to-school driving season and help reduce the dangers to students by staying alert in neighborhoods and school zones and by following a few simple safety tips in and around school zones. 

Get ready to head back to school by heading to Orchard Supply Hardware in Mission Viejo on Saturday, August 19.

The store at 24021 Marguerite Parkway is hosting a free event from 9 a.m. to noon where kids can create their own pencil tube. The store will provide the tube, colored tape and paint, and kids should simply bring their creativity. (Supplies are limited.)

From a trio of savory Italian tastes and bone-in porterhouse veal chop to grilled New Zealand salmon and a south-of-the-border omelette, Mission Viejo Restaurant Week is sure to tempt your taste buds.  

More than 20 eateries will serve up delectable fare during the 1st Annual Mission Viejo Restaurant Week August 21-27.

Do you know a hero in Mission Viejo? Our City is now seeking applications for Male and Female Veterans of the Year.  These are folks who bravely served our country and continue to serve our community by giving back. Indeed, they are heroes.

We launched this program in 2011 to celebrate local veterans from all wars and conflicts. Since then, veteran honorees have been recognized during our annual Veterans Day ceremony.

If you would like the chance to meet your Mayor while enjoying the great Mission Viejo outdoors, then make plans to Walk with Mayor Wendy Bucknum on Saturday, August 5.

Grab your friends, pets and neighbors and meet up at the chess table, near the bocce courts, outside the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center at 8 a.m. for a walk with Mayor Bucknum along the Oso Creek Trail. This Walking Town Hall is a great opportunity to chat with our Mayor while getting some exercise.
 
The Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center is at 24932 Veterans Way.
