We have a primary responsibility as a corporate citizen of Santa Ana to support <br /> the community in which we do business, and to provide both project information and <br /> environmental education. Our community involvement is extensive -- both financially and <br /> in terms of people. We are proud to join Santa Ana in prioritizing education, especially <br /> of our young people, as our top civic priority.
