Tustin is a small suburb in the Los Angeles metropolitan area that has been ranked 1st in the state and 12th in the nation for Fortune’s 25 Best Places to Live. There are many great reasons why this cute town is ideal for families to nestle in. Surrounded by hills with panoramic views of the Pacific Coast and Saddleback Mountains and the closest beach is just 12 miles down the road. If you are looking to spend the afternoon in a large, beautiful green space with both locals and visitors, a picnic in Peppertree Park should be first on the to-do list. One of the most notable features of the park is the sound of the bells ringing from the nearby Tustin Presbyterian Church. If an air-conditioned afternoon sounds ideal, then admiring the luxury cars at the Marconi Automotive Museum is a must. There are many vehicles on display that are several decades old and several that have been driven by well-known actors, actresses, and artists. The Tustin Ranch Golf Club rounds out what this town has to offer. Located in the heart of Orange County, this premiere golf facility offers public play with a private feel. The guests receive first-class service, warm hospitality, and delicious food and beverage selections. The Player’s Lounge and Pine Tree Patio are the final destinations to complete the successful day on the course. There isn’t much more you could ask for in a perfectly sized town of 80,000 residents.
We are just about halfway through Summer in Tustin. There are still several opportunities to get involved with the community and check out what all Tustin has to offer. There are several activities and happenings, so enjoy the complete guide below to guarantee a fun-filled month of August!
Tustin Mazda Hosts Christmas in July –
We are moving into the final week of our annual charity event, Christmas in July
Patterson Autos is partnering with Orange County Rescue Mission for the annual Christmas In July! Donations for this Orange County non-profit organization tend to dip in the summer months, so Patterson Autos goes out of its way each year to commit an entire month of fundraising in hopes of restocking the OCRM shelves. Every year proves to be extremely successful where thousands of pounds of items are donated, and thousands of dollars are raised. Thanks to our extremely generous community!
Orange County Rescue Mission offers long-term transitional housing in Orange County. There are several families throughout OC who depend on Orange County Rescue Mission, therefore they’ve committed to providing 400 boxes of food and hygiene products every month with the mission to minister the love of Jesus Christ to the Least, the Last, and the Lost of Orange County. They can accomplish this through the provision of assistance in the areas of guidance, counseling, education, job training, shelter, food, clothing, health care, and independent living communities.
Throughout the entire month of July, Patterson Autos will be collecting items in addition to donating $2 per test drive at any of the Patterson Autos locations. They will use these raised funds to purchase more urgently needed items to donate. Stop by Tustin Mazda, Huntington Beach Mazda, Tustin Hyundai, or Mission Viejo Kia for a donation drop-off or to test drive a vehicle. We look forward to bringing the Orange County community together and assisting Orange County Rescue Mission to restock the shelves!
