Nixon News & Notes
A Weekend of Celebration and Remembrance
The Richard Nixon Foundation and the Yorba Linda Country Club marked America’s 250th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of September 11 over Labor Day weekend, celebrating the nation’s founding spirit and resilience.
President Richard Nixon became the Yorba Linda Country Club’s first honorary member in 1957, and that history made this year’s partnership especially meaningful, as both organizations honored the country’s shared story, the enduring spirit of America and the strength of their community.
The celebration opened with the Yorba Linda Country Club’s All-American Family Festival, part of the Foundation’s America 250 commemoration. The festivities included an aircraft flyover, skydivers, live music from the Hearding Cats, a food buffet, family activities and a meet-and-greet with local first responders — a patriotic celebration for all generations.

The Richard Nixon Foundation will mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with two beams of light rising into the night sky above the Library, shining nightly from September 5 through September 12 between 7 and 9:30 p.m. — as bright as the iconic beam atop the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas.
The nightly tribute honors the 2,977 lives lost in the attacks and leads up to a commemoration ceremony at the Nixon Library on Friday, September 11.
