SUPPORT THIS INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
The article you’re about to read is from our reporters doing their important work — investigating, researching, and writing their stories. We want to provide informative and inspirational stories that connect you to the people, issues and opportunities within our community. Journalism requires lots of resources. Today, our business model has been interrupted by the pandemic; the vast majority of our advertisers’ businesses have been impacted. That’s why The Capistrano Dispatch is now turning to you for financial support. Learn more about our new Insider’s program here. Thank you.
Members
of the United States Marine Corps 1st Battalion, 11th Marines (1-11), the Goin’
Native program, and other people helped dig post holes at the Los Rios Park on
Saturday, Jan. 25. The holes were for new plant signs donated by the San Juan
Capistrano Rotary Club.
The
Marines came from Camp Pendleton. Goin’ Native and the Rotary Club have
previously helped Marines at Camp Pendleton and military veterans. San Juan
Capistrano Mayor Pro Tem John Taylor was also at the park on Jan. 25 to help
out.
“It
feels good to give back after what they did for us,” Gilberto Ventura, a member
of the 1-11, said. “They sent us care packages. It made us feel good to know that
people cared, so I think it’s time to pay the same thing back. It’s pretty cool
to be out here helping out.”
