Trish to be honored as a "Community Hero"

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

The Santa Clarita Valley Bar Association will honor Trish this month as a “Community Hero” — an award given for volunteerism. Trish’s endeavors over the past 30 years include volunteer service and support to more than three dozen charitable organizations, including AYSO soccer, Make a Difference Day, SCV Pride Week, Peachland School PTA, The SCV Chamber of Commerce, Prayer Angels for the Military, SCV Tea Party, Santa Clarita, Songwriters Circle, William S. Hart High School Choir Boosters, the SCV Emergency Winter Shelter, KIVA.org, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Santa Clarita Valley, and the International Association of Business Communicators.

Some of Trish’s notable achievements include establishing a rape crisis hotline in Long Beach; the creation of “Net:Work,” a job-finding system for professional communicators in the Los Angeles area; and the co-creation of the Santa Clarita River Rally environmental event. This month alone she is working on the Santa Clarita Valley Alternative Gift Fair and organizing a GoGirls MusicFest concert to raise awareness and funds for two maternity homes.

Trish often donates her time and talent as a performing songwriter. On October 4, she’ll be singing at a Military Family Appreciation event hosted by California Assemblywoman Audra Strickland, and on October 21 at a College of the Canyons Domestic Violence Awareness event in Valencia.

'Plymouth Belvedere' song to be included on NPR compilation of irreverent car tunes

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

“Plymouth Belvedere,” Trish’s country/rock song, has been selected for inclusion on a compilation CD being produced by National Public Radio. The CD, to be released this fall by NPR’s popular “Car Talk” program (www.cartalk.com), is entitled “Car Talk Car Tunes Volume III: Stairway to Heapdom,” a collection of irreverent songs about automobiles.

NPR affiliates across the nation that air the “Car Talk” show will use the CD for radio promotions and play selected tracks on the air. “Plymouth Belvedere” is the title tune on Trish’s 13-song CD, available for sale right here on the Website.

People laugh when Trish tells them that she was inspired to write the song by the Foster Farms Chickens (www.thefosterimposters.com), muppet-like advertising icons that drive a 1967 Belvedere. “There’s no mention of the chickens in my song,” Trish clarifies, instead citing one particular TV commercial where the chickens attend yoga class and a loudspeaker voice announces that a Plymouth Belvedere with Arkansas plates is being towed. “The embarrassment of old car seemed perfect for a song. Everyone can relate to that!”
