Troop 525 CLEAN-UP DAY

Dry brush, post Santa Ana winds created a dangerous amount of fire fuel at the Mara Brandman Arena. Boy Scout Troop 525 to the rescue! These hard working scouts and parents did an awesome job clearing brush and making our community arena beautiful!

MUCH THANKS TO TROOP 525 !!

It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Mike Shiley who passed away on August 19th.  Our prayers go out to his wife Becky and the entire Shiley family.  Our flag, at the Mara Brandman Arena is flying at half staff in honor of our Arena Manager. He will be terribly missed by us all.

Services will be held on Saturday August 26th at 9:30am
Fairhaven Memorial
1702 Fairhaven Avenue

Note: Mike’s family suggests wearing blue to the service, Mike’s favorite color.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, they would like a donation made in his name to Orange Park Arenas, Equestrians, Trails Corp (https://opa-etc.org/support/) or PO Box 2432, Orange, CA 92859.
