Community Activities

In addition to the activities outlined below, Estudillo Chapter members contribute to U.S. Veterans programs, Toys for Tots, Ronald McDonald House, Pennies for Pines, and other charitable endeavors.

Good Citizenship Awards:
Each Spring the Estudillo Chapter presents good citizenship certificates and medals to two fifth grade students in each of the Hemet and San Jacinto elementary schools. The students are selected by their teachers. We present these awards at the Awards Assembly at each school.

Constitution Week:
The celebration of Constitution Week 2010 was celebrated with a Seminar: “The Making of America” sponsored by the Estudillo Chapter, open to the General Public and was an integral event in the Celebration of the City of  Hemet’s 100 Year Centennial.  This Seminar was conducted by Judge Lester N. Pearce, our designated Speaker, who along with his extensive service on the bench has been an active member of The National Center for Constitution Studies for over 30 years. The Seminar was held on Saturday, September 18th. Several members were attired in colonial garb. The opening ceremony consisted of Posting of the Colors by the West Valley High School, JROTC, followed by a prayer given by our Acting Chapter Chaplin and recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and singing of  “God Bless American.” Followed by welcoming remarks and introduction of our speaker by our Regent.

Family History Month:
We spend a day in the Heritage Room at the Hemet Public Library during the Family History Month of October. We also attend the "Family History Fair" at the LDS Church in Hemet each October. Top genealogists hold classes and it is extremely well attended. There we set up a display and tell visitors about our society.  

ROTC Awards:
Our chapter gives bronze medals to graduating senior cadets that meet the academic and military discipline of the ROTC program in three high schools, two in Hemet and one in San Jacinto.
