Hilfiger to make South Coast Plaza appearance

A flock of celebrity models will strut the catwalk at South Coast

Plaza tonight for a special appearance by designer Tommy Hilfiger,

who will launch his H Hilfiger spring line.

Macy’s at South Coast Plaza is hosting the event, which will

feature a runway show with actress Juliette Lewis, singer Michelle

Williams of Destiny’s Child, celebrity heiress Nicky Hilton and

others modeling Hilfiger’s clothes. Hilfiger also will sign

autographs for the first 150 customers in Macy’s men’s store after

the fashion show.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Jewel Court near Macy’s mall

entrance at South Coast Plaza, 3333 Bristol St., Costa Mesa, with the

autograph-signing around 7 p.m. in the H shop in Macy’s men’s store.

Security service that makes you smile

Enrique Godinez, a security officer at South Coast Plaza, received

a Service Excellence Award Wednesday.

The Orange County Tourism Council gave out the awards at a dinner

presentation at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa.

Godinez was honored in the Shopping Centers/Retail category.

Godinez earned praise from one tenant for spotting a handcart full

of products inadvertently left in the parking garage. He tracked down

the owner and delivered the goods to the tenant.

The awards provide a chance for employers and patrons at

tourism-related businesses to recognize outstanding employees who

make sure visitors have a positive and memorable experience in Orange

County.

Help residents beautify homes at clean-up

Costa Mesa, the Orange County Fairgrounds and the Volunteer Center

of Orange County have joined forces to organize the “Neighbors for

Neighbors” Community and Canyon Park Clean-up on April 24.

This is the 10th year of the program, which was created to help

low-income residents beautify their homes and help clean up

communities.

About 200 volunteers are needed for the neighborhood cleanup and

the park can handle up to 600 participants.

Members of the community interested in making cash or in-kind

donations of supplies and/or food should call (714) 754-4892, as should those interested in participating in painting and/or cleanup

activities.

Database offers chance to get a career going

The U.S. Department of Labor announced Thursday that it has a free

database for employers featuring 1,600 college students and recent

graduates with disabilities seeking summer and permanent job

openings.

The department’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, in

cooperation with the Department of Defense, offers the database of

job seekers with disabilities through its Workforce Recruitment

Program. The program is intended to give students with disabilities

the chance to start their careers.

A free CD-ROM database lets employers search for potential

applicants by field of study, state or school, in disciplines from

computer sciences and business to communications, engineering and

office administration. Searches generate candidate profiles, academic

and demographic data, and contact information from applications

recruited by the program from more than 180 colleges and universities.

The CD-ROM and additional information are available at

https://www.wrpjobs.com, or by calling (202) 693-7880.
