🎊🌳 Last Friday, I attended the City of Brea’s groundbreaking ceremony for Arovista Park. To help with the design and construction of the park’s modernization, we gave $875,000 of the Fourth District Discretionary Fund for the project.

Once completed, Arovista Park will be the first all accessible playground in the city of Brea and in North Orange County. This will provide an opportunity for children and adults of all ages and all abilities to have a safe space to play and enjoy the outdoors.

Other amenities included in this phase are four new pickleball courts, upgraded basketball and volleyball courts, new restroom facilities, new outdoor events space, resurfaced parking lot and new EV charging stations, and an upgrade to the Tracks at Brea Trailhead.

Thank you to the City of Brea for spearheading this initiative and all the partners involved in this project.

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.
