Council honors local businesses, veterans and promotes Love Mission Viejo volunteer day
Summary
The council recognized Diatima Bakehouse and VFW Post 6024, and staff and multiple residents promoted the Love Mission Viejo volunteer day and community events scheduled for May 16.
Mayor Wendy Buckton presented proclamations recognizing Diatima Bakehouse for small-business contributions and VFW Post 6024 for veteran services; both recipients thanked the council and described upcoming activities. The Diatima owner thanked city staff and the community for support during the bakery’s early years and offered samples to meeting attendees. "I was prepared to be yelled at ... but you guys seem very nice," the business owner said during remarks.
Multiple public speakers highlighted Love Mission Viejo volunteer projects (May 16, 9 a.m.–noon) and local events including the Julie Foudy Clinic and community cleanup activities. Volunteer organizer Paola Tremblay encouraged signups at the event website and noted a finish-of-day celebration at the community center. VFW Post representatives described Memorial Day duties and the post’s support for veterans and youth programs.
Why it matters: these recognitions and the volunteer day announcements underscore routine community engagement, highlight nonprofit and veteran service contributions, and provide residents with concrete volunteer and event information.
Next steps: event organizers will proceed with scheduled volunteer projects and the city will post signup information on the website.
