TCF's LIVEgreen Tip of the Month:
Did you know that every year, over 540,000,000 yellow page type phone directories are delivered to homes and businesses and over 19,000,000 trees are destroyed in the making of those phone directories? If you have already received yours, make sure that you recycle your old one, but even better, you can stop those from being delivered by going to www.yellowpagesoptout.com.

Tustin Community Foundation Creates Smiles
A Foundation Grant puts new netting on THS batting cages.
Samantha Orozco, Tustin High School Baseball Booster President, is thrilled with the grant the Tustin Community Foundation gave to THS Baseball. "On behalf of Tustin High Baseball, I would like to thank the Foundation for awarding us a Grant to refurbish the netting for our batting cages. The netting was fast becoming a safety issue and could no longer be repaired, so the money was put to use immediately. Your Grant will go a long way, as our batting cages are used by all of the THS Baseball and Softball teams, and by all the young players who attend Coach O'Donogue's annual Tustin area youth winter and summer camps. Thank you so much for the Grant!" |

Teen Safe Driving Seminar Gets Results
100% of Attendees Surveyed Will No Longer Text and Drive
Cars are the #1 killer of teens, taking too many young lives every year! There are up to eight preventable teenage deaths a day because kids text or talk on their cell phone while driving, play loud music, don't wear a seat belt, speed, or have distracting passengers in their car.
Parents and teens gathered at the Tustin Area Senior Center on a Friday evening in March to attend a free Safe Driving Seminar hosted by the Foundation and DCH Tustin Acura. After attending the seminar 100% of survey respondents said they will no longer text while driving, and that they would share the information learned in the seminar with friends and family.
