YMCA Afterschool Childcare Celebrating 30 years of Cityhood The holiday season was a busy and festive one for the Laguna Niguel Military Support Committee (LNMSC)! The LNMSC was hard at work in their ongoing efforts to support the troops and families of the USS Stockdale, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, and 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 140th Aviation Regiment. The LNMSC completed its annual Holiday Toy drive at which they collected hundreds of toys that were given to the families of our supported units at their holiday parties. The wives and children of the Marines and Sailors, who are deployed, along with soldiers of the 140th, marched in this year’s Laguna Niguel Holiday Parade. In October, the LNMSC held Its annual fundraiser “Tribute to Our Military” dinner gala with stories from Commanders from the 1/4 Marines and the USS Stockdale. Through the hard work of the committee members and the generosity of the businesses and residents of Laguna Niguel, the event raised $50,000. With the 1st Battalion, 4th Marines and USS Stockdale Sailors currently deployed, the Committee will be working hard to help the units as they perform their overseas duties, and assist their families here at home. For more information about LNMSC, its activities, and volunteer opportunities, please visit our website at LNMilitarySupport.org. 2019 marks an important milestone for Laguna Niguel – it is the 30th anniversary of cityhood!
