The City’s adopted military units – the 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, and the Navy guided-missile destroyer, the USS Stockdale, are constantly on the move to keep our nation safe. The units are currently home until their next deployment scheduled for October 2018. In March 2018, the LNMSC approved the adoption of the 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 140th Aviation Regiment, and is scheduled for Council consideration in April 2018. The LNMSC hosted an Army Organization Day to welcome military members of this unit at Crown Valley Park for an eventful afternoon of recognition and remembrance. The event was attended by over 250 people where they enjoyed a family barbeque and some fun at the Sprayground, playground, and pool. One of the ways the LNMSC supports our adopted military families is by providing baby care packages for expectant mothers. These packages include diaper bags filled with baby supplies and necessities. The LNMSC had a Baby Care Package Drive at Walmart, which was a huge success! The LNMSC is currently planning a 1st Battalion, 4th Marines Family Day in May 2018, and a USS Stockdale Family Day event in June 2018. The LNMSC is also working on plans for other fundraising events throughout the year including car washes, car package drives, toy drives and holiday dinners for the military families. Check our website at lnmilitarysupport.org for updates on the LNMSC activities. Safe Management of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Household hazardous materials such as paint, motor oil, antifreeze, garden products, specific cleaning products, and other chemicals used or generated at home, should never reach the street gutters or storm drains. Our storm drains discharge to wetlands and creeks and eventually to the ocean. Hazardous materials can remain in the drains and get carried to our water bodies by stormwater on a rainy day. Never dispose of those materials in the storm drains or in areas that could wash to the drains. For more information about free and safe disposal options visit oclandfills.com/hazardous. Shred Identity Theft! You Are Not Alone (YANA) Program The YANA program is a free service offered to Laguna Niguel residents who primarily live alone, providing them a sense of security and ease of mind. Police Services senior volunteers will check on the welfare of residents either in person or by phone typically twice a week. If the resident does not answer the door or phone call, an emergency contact person will be notified to check on the resident’s welfare. A deputy sheriff may also be called upon for assistance during these instances. The YANA program does not take the participant to the doctor’s office, run errands or administer medications. For additional information, contact Police Services at (949) 362-4346.
