The Orange County Board of Supervisors designated September 2025 as Service Club Month, and honored many groups, including Assistance League of Orange for our philanthropic service in the local community.  President Claire Kocek presented a proclamation from the County to members gathered for their regular monthly meeting on October 3. The inscription mentions many reasons for the recognition, including, “Over generations, (these clubs) have become pillars of support and pride, elevating countless individuals through mentorship, youth development programs and civic education.”  The proclamation also acknowledges the long term impact of groups such as Assistance League of Orange, citing “the steadfast history, inspiring actions and lasting contributions of service clubs has exemplified how organized volunteerism can transform lives and uplift communities.”
