Celebrating the Past; Looking to the Future
The beginning of a new year is always a great time to look back and see what you’ve accomplished, as well as looking forward with anticipation for all the exciting things yet to be done!
2022 Highlights
The Orinda Association celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Volunteer Center. Check out the online version.
Our Seniors Around Town volunteer drivers provided 1,196 rides, 973 volunteer hours and 14,830 miles driven for Orinda seniors.
The OA Fourth of July Parade was almost back to full swing with faithful parade entrants marching to the music in perfect weather. Kids and families, whether on floats or cheering along the route, enjoyed the parade, which concluded with a concert in the park.
The 18th Annual Orinda Classic Car Show felt like a festival. Street banners and colorful art, in addition to fabulous cars, trucks and motorcycles, resulted in a very memorable day.
The Orinda News covers local news, events and stories. The paper is delivered monthly to every postal service customer in 94563. The paper is viewed online around the world at http://www.theorindanews.com.
The OA thanks those who dropped off eyeglasses for the Lions Club and donated vehicles to the Cars2ndChance program.
The Orinda Association presented “Meet the Candidate” Forums for City Council, MOFD (Moraga Orinda Fire District) and OUSD (Orinda Union School District) prior to the November 2022 elections, providing our citizens answers and options.
