La Mirada~Living Faith Church gave out their first annual community awards at their Sunday service on March 13.  

Pastor Jack Miranda first gave an award to Dr. Jean Maddox for her 13 years service as Principal of Foster Road Elementary School.  She was given a Foster Road street sign that was obtained from the City when they changed out the street signs some years ago. 

Next, Christine Albanese, Deputy District Attorney was awarded the Angel's Wings Award for all she does "under the radar" as she teaches a 5th grade class on life issues. 

Newly reelected councilman Steve Jones was given an award in recognition of the fine leadership of our City Council.   Retiring City Council members (after 17 years of service) Hal Malkin and Pete Dames were given awards in appreciation of their service to La Mirada. 

Members of the local service clubs including Ebell, Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary, Foster Road PTA, La Mirada Community Services and El Camino High School Positives Alternative Club were all recognized for their community service. 

The chair-persons for Relay For Life and La Mirada Calvary Chapel were given awards for their tremendous service to the Community. 

Lou & Sylvia Piltz, and Gerald & Harriette Peebler were given awards for seventy years of marriage. 

It was a great recognition of those serving the Community and we look forward to many more of these programs.
