Jackie Alexander
Located in nearby Buena Park, Knott’s Berry Farm is a well-established attraction for tourists and locals alike.

Employees' Christmas Fund
Jewell Adams
The Willows residents have always set aside the period from October 1 through November 30 of each year to show our gratitude for all the workers who make our living here so great. It is time again to start thinking about how much we appreciate those who work at The Willows.
The purpose of this fund is to give more than verbal thanks. We can express our gratitude by placing cash or check in an envelope and sealing it, then giving it to our receptionist before November 30. Both check and envelope should be addressed to The Willows Employees’ Christmas Fund.
