The
Knights of Pythias - A fraternal organization founded in Washington,
D.C., on 19 Feb 1864.
The Tustin Order of the Knights of Pythias was chartered
in 1882. We met for many years in rooms on the second floor
of the First National Bank of Tustin building. Then in 1925
we bought the property on the northeast corner of Main and D
(El Camino Real) from C. E. Utt and had a two-story neoclassical
commercial building constructed. Our lodge hall and offices
occupy the entire second floor with the lower level available
for shops,
offices and businesses. TustinPythians.com

Commemorating
the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July
4, 1776.
The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American
colonies were no longer
subject to the monarch of Britain and were now united, free,
and independent states.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness." |

Broadway in the Park / West
Side Story - August 6-10
Peppertree Park, Old Town Tustin 230 W First St, Tustin, CA
92780 Map
One of the most groundbreaking and romantic musicals ever written,
West Side Story sets Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the turbulent
and passionate streets of New York’s West Side during the 1950s.
Tony is a dreamer, ready to leave his street gang behind and
face the future head-on; Maria is idealistic and looking to
explore womanhood and the world beyond her family’s dress shop.
When the two meet, their worlds stop — and cultural divides
and societal
expectations give way to star-crossed love. Featuring a live
orchestra performing one of the
most exciting scores ever written for the stage, and a story
that tackles topics of prejudice, hatred, and the need for compassion
between communities, this outdoor production at Tustin’s Peppertree
Park will rumble in your heart long after the final note is
sung. |

On September 11, 2001, four U.S. planes hijacked by terrorists
crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field
in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people in a matter of hours.
Behind the staggering number of deaths are the individuals,
each of whom left behind family, friends and co-workers who
feel the national tragedy on a personal level.

A
Tustin resident and patriot Angie
Kardashian, in the aftermath of the disaster, felt
compelled to do what she could as an American. Angie sold her
restaurant, moved to
New York, cooked meals at her own expense for two years to feed
thousands of firefighters
in more than 100 firehouses until her money ran out. Our window
display is part of her journey and a reminder to all of us "To
Never forget."

Chapter NSDAR
We are a vibrant group of women who meet on the second Saturday
of the month between September and May. We are looking for a
few more ladies, from the age of 18 and beyond, who can trace
their ancestry to a Revolutionary War Patriot or to a direct
ancestor who aided in achieving American Independence. We wish
to honor our ancestors and to preserve our past for future generations.
