Changes Rolling at Orinda Motors

Change is in the air at Orinda Motors. During the last week in April, the business consolidated the offices of Orinda Motors and Express Oil Change & Tire Center into one entity. The old Express Oil Change & Tire Center will be converted into a new customer waiting area. Plus, the business changed the direction of its driveways for improved traffic flow. Beginning May 2, all vehicles will enter the driveway on the side closest to Orinda Way and Camino Sobrante.

Parks Honored as Moraga Employee of the Month

Kim Parks, the Middle School Dean at the Saklan School, has been named the Moraga Employee of the Month for April.

Parks oversees the Saklan Middle School, with 48 students and five faculty members and is the fastest growing segment of the private school. In addition to overseeing the curriculum and the student community, she also is responsible for coordinating the student community service activities, including the Alameda Food Bank, the Monument Crisis Center and the San Francisco Botanical Garden.

"Kim is one of the best assets of our school," said Peter Metzger, the Saklan Head of School. "In addition to her fine work in overseeing our middle grades, she often gives up many of her weekends to take the students on community service projects or fundraising events. She is a wonderful educator and role model."

In winning the award, the Moraga Rotary and Chamber of Commerce will award Parks a gift card to Safeway as well as a restaurant gift card. Parks will be presented with her award and gifts at the April 26 Moraga Rotary lunch at Saint Mary's College.
