		WESTMINSTER, CA, CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY
		Westminster, CA, was incorporated as a City on September 4, 1957. To commemorate our 50th anniversary as a city, a year long celebration has been planned. Some time ago, a 50th Anniversary Citizens' Advisory Committee was formed of prominent citizens who agreed to help plan an appropriate program for this year. After meeting for over a year, Committee Chairman B. J. Savage, a retired Westminster Deputy Police Chief, and members Chuck Smith, a former Westminster Mayor and retired Orange County Supervisor; Crystal Wadsworth, Executive Director, Westminster Chamber of Commerce; Gloria Reyes, Executive Director, Abrazar, Inc.; Anh Do, Editor, Nquoi Viet Daily News and a columnist for The Orange County Register; Dr. John Furman, Pastor, First Presbyterian of Westminster, recommended an exciting program of events to celebrate this milestone in the City's history. The Mayor and City Council approved their recommendations along with the necessary funding. Major events include reviving the historically popular Founders' Day Celebration that has not been held for more than a decade. Although incorporated in 1957, Westminster was founded in 1871. The Founder's Day Celebration is a three-day event that will be staged at the Civic Center and include entertainment, a food court with an international flavor, vendor booths with arts and crafts, as well as carnival rides and games. Entertainment will be provided on two stages. Professional entertainers will perform on one stage while the other stage will showcase community talent and children's groups. The Founders' Day Celebration will be held Friday, March 16 from 5:00 to 11:00 pm; Saturday, March 17, from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, and on Sunday, March 18, from 12 Noon to 10:00 pm. On Friday evening, March 30, a free 50th Anniversary performance will be offered to the community at the Westminster Rose Center Theater. Other plans include enhancing the City's annual July 4th event at Westminster High School with additional fireworks and entertainment with a 50th Anniversary theme and a Westminster Dog Show hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of Westminster. The Dog Show will be held in conjunction with Dia de la Familia at Sigler Park on September 16. Poodle skirts and ducktails are encouraged at our 50th Anniversary Sock Hop. This dinner and dance with a live band featuring music from the 50's will take place at the Westminster Rose Center in the fall. Shirts, hats, pens, pins, etc. commemorating Westminster's 50th Anniversary will be available for purchase during the year. The Mayor and City Council encourage everyone to participate in at least one of the planned events. This year will offer wonderful opportunities to meet old and new friends, enjoy family oriented programs, celebrate our wonderful community and learn more about its history.
