Hall, Jennifer From: Tom Lutz < Sent: Friday, August 25, 2023 10:52 AM To: Amezcua, Valerie; phil@philbacerra.com Cc: eComment Subject: Proclamation Attachments: Eunice B-day Invitation.pdf Good morning Valerie and Phil, I would like to see if either of you would be so kind to do a city proclamation for my friend's mother who will be tuning 100 on Sept. 9th. Her name is Eunice Dexter and she is the daughter of Clarence Amling who, with his brother, started the Amling Roses Greenhouses in the late 40's which were located on the SEC of Fairview Ave. and 5th St. where Eunice's husband, Jack, later ran the business. These greenhouses went all the way from Fairview Ave. to the old PE rail tracks until they closed somewhere in the late 60's or early 70's supplying fresh roses all over So. California. She was also the longest and oldest serving volunteer at the Western Med Hospital on Tustin Ave. stepping down after she was in her 90's. Her son Mike and I went all thru school together and I'm asking him to supply us more information on his mom for the proclamation. Her birthday celebration will be on Sept. 9th at the Turnip Rose on Flower St. in Orange. See attached invitation. When you see her picture in the invitation you'll probably be like most people and say "No way is she 100!" Eunice lives alone at Lake Park on Fairhaven Ave, still drives, and is sharp as a tack. With Eunice's longevity here in Santa Ana, her contribution to Western Med, as well as her family's history with the Ambling Roses, I feel it appropriate the city recognize her on her 100th Birthday. Thank you, Tom Lutz
