Community Services
Fait h-Based Groups, Busi nesses Suppor t Speci al Event s
The City of La Habra Community Services Department prides itself on its ability to provide quality community-wide special events for the enjoyment of residents and visitors. Traditional revenue sources have declined, presenting challenges for the City to continue to provide these programs. To meet these challenges, relationships were developed with local businesses and other potential sponsors of community events. These programs are very well-attended, and presenting those opportunities to gain exposure for our local businesses was a great fit. This effort is an extension of the City’s and Chamber’s Shop La Habra partnership, which encourages residents to shop and use services locally. By supporting our local businesses, we maintain our quality of life in the community and provide essential funding for City services, programs and events. American First Credit Union, Walmart La Habra, Martplan Insurance, Waste Management, Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary, AAMCO La Habra, Jamba Juice, Nationwide Environmental Services, Dangelo Corp., and the La Habra Journal are just a few of the many business that choose to promote their services at special events in the community. For example, the summer Concerts in the Park series is now 100 percent funded through business sponsorships. Next was an effort to include local faith-based groups in special events, because their missions include serving the community. To meet these challenges, City staff engaged in communication with 14 La Habra churches to help both entities better serve La Habrans. Volunteers through these groups are cheerfully provided to enable us to offer quality activities using well-trained individuals to fill vital roles in our special event programs. The real benefit is the engagement of people who want to serve the community in some kind of capacity. Our effort to continue to provide innovative ways to offer quality special events, while reducing the impact to the City’s General Fund, has not gone unnoticed. We get calls from numerous cities asking how we are able to continue to offer our special event programs. We are proud to say that we have a great relationship with businesses and our faithbased organizations. If you would like to get involved in either as a sponsor or have a non-profit group that would like to get involved with City events, please call David De Leon, Recreation Manager, at 562-905-9649.

Lifestyle: Kiwanis Club Promotes Community at Annual Breakfast
Histo r y of the L a Habra Mayor’s Prayer Breakfa st
In 1982, because of the rich spiritual heritage of our State and Nation, and the desire to pray for our community, the Kiwanis Club of La Habra through one of its leaders, the late Wally Burgess, sponsored the first La Habra Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast. The program of the breakfast was patterned after the Presidential Prayer Breakfast held in Washington D.C. There were 110 people at the first La Habra breakfast which was held at the La Habra Woman’s Club on Greenwood Avenue. The breakfasts were later held at various churches in La Habra, and then at the Ritz on Whittier Boulevard for a number of years. Beginning in 1996, the breakfast was held at the La Habra Community Center. Since 1996, table servers have been student volunteers from La Habra’s high schools. Featured speakers have included: ➜ Sports Figures — John Werhas and David Frost, both Angels; Frank Pastori of the Cincinnati Reds; and Keith Erickson, Lakers announcer. ➜ Police Chiefs — Bob Vernon and Mark Kroeker from

In 1995, an “Adopt a Leader” program was established, soliciting breakfast attendees to volunteer to pray for one of our City, State or National leaders. An average of 150 people have responded to that request each year, with each assigned a specific leader. The present day breakfast is held each year on the first Thursday in the month of May, to coincide with the National Day of Prayer, and is still sponsored by La Habra’s Highlander Kiwanis Club. This year the Breakfast will be held on Thursday, May 6th. For more information, please call 562-697-7000.

Wa ter-Conscious Inspired L a ndsc a ping for L a Habra Ga rdens Ceanothus Concha flowers Drought-tolerant landscaping is a creative way to reduce water usage, especially in the summer months. While many people think of cacti when they think of drought-tolerant or native landscaping, there are actually many plants, flowers and shrubs that are both decorative and water-conscious. The City encourages residents to explore the variety of native plants available in Southern California and to incorporate these, where possible, into their water conservation landscaping plans. The Ceanothus “Concha,” also known as the California Mountain Lilac, is one of the oldest Ceanothus hybrids and is considered a native to California. The Concha variety is a hybrid from the C. impressus from Santa Barbara and the C. papillosus from the Santa Ana Mountains. It is a dense medium shrub with rich green foliage and a thick bloom in the springtime. It grows best in full sun and needs very little water, about one to two times a month in the summertime. In the garden, these shrubs are tolerant of a wide range of soils, but do best in light and well-drained soil, such as sand or sandy loam. The best time to plant Ceanothus is in the fall to take advantage of the winter rains. It grows to about 7’ tall and 7’ wide and is hardy down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. This variety may be seen in La Habra on the Harbor Boulevard median north of Whittier Boulevard. For information or guidance on suitable plants and trees, please contact Public Works at 562-905-9792 or explore the resources listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

1. Strong sense of community — small town feel
In 2008, the City received a grant in the amount of $5,000 from Common Sense California, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote citizen participation in governance. To coordinate the grant activities, Mike Messina & Associates developed and conducted a community engagement workshop at the La Habra Community Center on November 19, 2009. Over 100 individuals representing various segments of the La Habra community (residents, businesses, educators, non-profits, neighborhoods, youth sports, etc.) were invited to participate in the workshop, and approximately 40 individuals attended the three-hour event. The workshop was interactive and required the participants to work in small groups to discuss the overall values for the community. Consensus on the top three community values for La Habra was achieved by the entire group (see box).
2. Collaborative diverse environment, all inclusive (residents, businesses, non-profits, schools and government)
The report summarizing the workshop was presented to the City Council on January 19, 2010. Presently, City Executive Management is evaluating the report’s findings as part of the development of the Fiscal Year 2010-11 budget and the annual City goals. A summary of the report is posted on the City’s Web site at www.lahabracity.com, under Public Information. For information, please contact the City Manager’s Office at 562-905-9701.

Th e Ci trus Fa i r i s Here! The La Habra Area Chamber of Commerce is the host of the new Spring Citrus Fair, taking place April 9th, 10th and 11th on historic La Habra Boulevard. It will be a large scale event that is expected to generate crowds of 20,000 to 30,000. The Spring Citrus Fair promises to entertain visitors from throughout Orange County with great food, entertainment, and dozens of exciting rides and attractions. Merchants will have products from in and around La Habra along with exhibits for our homes and gardens. Food for purchase will include pulled pork, ribs, tri-tip, beef brisket, hot dogs, Dipping Dots ice cream, funnel cakes, tamales, chili and Mediterranean cuisine, among many other tasty culinary creations. A home and garden area will feature a "Backyard Gardener" exhibit area, focusing on growing vegetables, fruits, citrus, and herbs right in your backyard or even on an apartment balcony. Learn more about planting a healthy organic garden from the experts. Some plants and products will be available for purchase. We will also be showcasing La Habra’s rich history with the opening of the “new” La Habra History Museum. Citrus farming and packing put our tiny settlement on the map in the late 1800s and became a thriving industry well before the City was incorporated in 1925. Long gone are the commercial orchards and packing houses, but our heritage is alive, and in some cases, right in our own back yards. All City services used will be paid 100 percent by the Fair — no taxpayer expense. Learn more about the Spring Citrus Fair and its many facets by visiting www.SpringCitrusFair.com, or calling the Chamber office at 562-697-1704.

A SMART WOMAN’S GUIDE TO MONEY MATTERS A strong financial strategy is important for women of all ages. If you’re a woman, you have at least two considerations to think about as you make financial preparations for retirement. First, women typically outlive men by seven years, and more years of life mean more expenses. And second, because women generally take more time away from the workforce to care for young children or aging parents, they generally have less money available in their 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. However, your potential for success is limitless, especially when you have a financial strategy in place. In this seminar, you will learn specific strategies to help you prepare for and live a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. You will analyze your current strategy for retirement and make sure you are on track. If you are like most women, your life is extremely busy, but investing a little of your time today could make a significant difference in your financial future. Register today and bring your sister, mother, daughter, girlfriend for free. A light dinner will be provided.
