Costa Mesa : Carwash Will Benefit Estancia’s Key Club
A carwash from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at a local gas station will help raise money for Estancia High School’s Key Club, an organization that helps the elderly and the homeless.
The washes will cost $2. The club, which has been in existence for 25 years, gets 50 cents per vehicle.
Alexander Zaslavski, the owner of Your Neighborhood Service Station at El Camino and Mendoza drives, said students will be volunteering as driers to service the cars as they come out of his automated wash and wax.
“It will raise some money for a good cause,” said Zaslavski, a Russian immigrant who came to the United States 16 years ago and is trying to make it in the gasoline station business.
The high school’s principal, Peggy Anatol, praised the club members.
“This gives them a purpose and a chance to work in the community,” she said. “It helps them to realize the bigger picture in life. Working on the weekends is commendable.”
