Events

The city of Simi Valley's Tree Advisory Board will host the seventh annual Arbor Day tree planting program at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 31 at the Veterans Plaza in Rancho Tapo Community Park, 3700 Avenida Simi. The public is invited.

This year's guest speaker will be Rorie Skei, chief deputy director for the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Her talk will be on the foundation's theme "Tree are Terrific . . . and Forests are, Too."

Posters created by local fifthgrade classes who participated in the National Arbor Day Poster Contest will be on display.

Cherry trees will be planted to posthumously honor local citizens, including Dr. John Anderson, veterinarian to the city's canine unit, and James Dougherty, former Ventura County supervisor and City Council member.

Actors’ Repertory Theatre of Simi brings this thoroughly enjoyable new musical to our stage for a Ventura County premiere. Thoroughly Modern Millie is a zany new 1920s musical that tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to New York City in search of a new life. It was an era of intrigue and jazz--a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever.
