The Dental Program in action.<br />
<strong>February</strong> is dental health month<br />
so our volunteers were out in force<br />
visiting 15 schools in Huntington Beach<br />
and Westminster taking time with<br />
kindergarten and first grade students to<br />
remind them to take good care of their<br />
teeth. Who knew dental hygiene could be<br />
such a fun topic? Our volunteers read a<br />
cute story about taking care of your teeth<br />
and show the students how to properly<br />
brush your teeth using giant plastic teeth<br />
and an oversized toothbrush. 1,600 smile<br />
kits (each kit includes a toothbrush,<br />
toothpaste, and stickers) were given out<br />
to the students. The students are always<br />
excited to listen and learn. The smile kits<br />
are also popular. Students at Edison High<br />
School help put the smile kits together for<br />
us each year.<br />
Save the Date: Please mark your<br />
calendars for our annual fundraiser,<br />
Treasures by the Sea. The fundraiser will<br />
be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Huntington<br />
Beach on Saturday, April 30, <strong>2011</strong>. This is<br />
a silent auction/luncheon/entertainment/<br />
live auction event.<br />

$350,000 to our community. The more<br />
we earn, the more we can help meet the<br />
growing needs of the community. We are<br />

we have over 180 active members in our<br />
chapter as well as over 43 members in our<br />
DreamCatcher’s auxiliary. We have over<br />

The <strong>Wanderlust</strong> <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s <strong>February</strong><br />
trip to Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado was a<br />
great success. There were 42 participants<br />
including club members and guests. 33<br />
Of us left LAX on Saturday 2/5/11 bound<br />
for Aspen airport. When we approached<br />
the aspen airport there was dense cloud<br />
cover so the plane made another pass<br />
at landing. The clouds cleared just long<br />
enough for our plane to land-- probably<br />
the only landing that day at aspen airport.<br />
When we landed in almost impossible<br />
conditions everyone knew this was going<br />
to be a special trip.<br />

The lodging was a ski-in ski-out<br />
bed & breakfast chalet at Snowmass<br />
mountain chalet, located in the heart<br />
of Snowmass village right on the slopes.<br />
We could not ask for a better location.<br />
Long time Huntington Harbor resident<br />
and club member Charlene Chalabian<br />
and her daughter Jackie arrived Tuesday<br />
evening and brought southern California<br />
Sunshine for Wednesday, Thursday,<br />
Friday and Saturday. The skiing was<br />
fantastic.<br />
Wednesday was “Nastar” race day<br />
with 23 participants earning 11 medals.<br />
<br />
<br />
Caroline Williams was race chairperson<br />
and did a great job with the arrangements<br />
at Aspen highlands race course. In addition<br />
to Nastar medals, our club awards<br />
men’s and women’s individual medals<br />
for gold, silver and bronze in three categories<br />
of expertise. Taking home gold<br />
medals were Caroline Williams and Dan<br />
Niedringhaus in the “a” category, Loretta<br />
Davis and Leigh Ross in “b” and June<br />
Lange and Bill Ruzgis in “c”. Silvers were<br />
won by Sharon Niedringhaus and Bill<br />
Williams in “a”, and Joetta Wallace and<br />
George Graham in “b” and Paul Lange<br />
in “c”. Bronze medals were proudly worn<br />
by Jim Sanders in “a”, Brenda Zubieta<br />
and Bob Franz in “b” and Bob Berman<br />
in “c”. Our special award for the club is<br />
the coveted perpetual trophy--one each<br />
for men and women. This year’s recipients<br />
were Bobbitt’s Bill Williams and Morio’s<br />
Caroline Williams!<br />
Evenings were spent in and among<br />
the many restaurants of snowmass village<br />
and the town of Aspen and of course<br />
some time was also spent shopping the<br />
fi ne stores in the area. Friday, the last ski<br />
day of the trip, was topped off with a dinner<br />
at one of the silver tree hotel banquet<br />
rooms most beautifully decorated by<br />
the wonderful Carla Davis with the 17<br />
pounds of decorations she so sensibly sent<br />
ahead to the hotel! The “Nastar” medals<br />
were presented and it was a perfect ending<br />
to a great week.<br />
We left Aspen Saturday morning<br />
with some regrets because the sun was<br />
still in full bloom. However, fun was<br />
enjoyed by all and everyone was looking<br />
forward to their next skiing adventure.<br />
The <strong>Wanderlust</strong> skiers are as good as<br />
their name, wandering the snow covered<br />
resorts lusting for downhill adventure.<br />
Come join us!<br />

Cantilever Decks Update<br />
Wesley Chesbro, Assemblyman<br />
from Eureka, chairs the committee<br />
which oversees the California State<br />
Lands Commission. Jim Silva along with<br />
Senator Tom Harman have taken an<br />
interest in looking into the new fees the<br />
Lands Commission is trying to impose<br />
on <strong>Harbour</strong> residents who have cantilever<br />
decks which extend up to five feet<br />
over the water they lease for their docks.<br />
Consequently Jim Silva, the Assemblyman<br />
representing Huntington Beach, arranged<br />
for Wes Chesbro to tour Huntington<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>. Jim Silva graciously invited Wes<br />
Chesbro to his house for the weekend and<br />
arranged with the Sheriff’s department to<br />
have one of their boats give us the tour.<br />
Coming along on the tour were homeowners<br />
Frank Singer, Bill Wilson, Craig<br />
Kronick and Daryl Phillip. Daryl is on the<br />
Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Property Owners<br />
Association Board of Directors.<br />
As background, the Lands<br />
Commission prepares ten year leases for<br />
anyone on the main and mid channels<br />
who want to have a dock which can extend<br />
up to 60’ from the seawall. As long as the<br />
dock is not used for commercial purposes<br />
the lease is free, however there is a charge<br />
for preparing the lease. Every ten years<br />
homeowners send the Lands Commission<br />
a fee to prepare their lease with any unused<br />
funds to be returned to the homeowner.<br />
The cost to prepare the lease has ranged<br />
from a few hundred dollars to over $1,500<br />
recently.<br />
We boarded the Sheriff’s boat around<br />
9:00 am Saturday morning on <strong>February</strong><br />
5 to start an informative one hour tour<br />
of Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong>’s main and mid<br />
channels. During the cruise all of us<br />
learned something. For example Chesbro<br />
learned that the Lands Commission had<br />
the authority to charge homeowners with<br />
cantilever decks for over fifty years but<br />
only decided to do so about two years<br />
ago. Furthermore, not all waterfront<br />
main and mid channel homeowners pay<br />
the same for the cost of preparing dock<br />
leases with 10% to 20% not being charged<br />
at all. Side channel property owners pay<br />
nothing. It also seems that if a homeowner<br />
has a cantilever deck but no dock, they<br />
are not being charged for anything. Some<br />
of the homeowners receive some of their<br />
money back and others receive nothing.<br />
What is troubling is that while the<br />
dock lease costs about $100 per year, the<br />
Lands Commission wants to charge about<br />
$1,000 per year for the “air” occupied<br />
by a cantilever deck. It should be noted<br />
that most all homeowners have permits<br />
for their cantilever decks and therefore<br />
the value of the deck is included in their<br />
annual property tax bills. The city permits<br />
decks to extend five feet past the seawall.<br />
Many if not most realtors are completely<br />
unfamiliar with the Land Commission’s<br />
rules and therefore don’t disclose this to<br />
their clients.<br />
There are a number of reasons charging<br />
a fee for cantilever decks might very<br />
well be against the law. Many homeowners<br />
are withholding the cantilever deck<br />
“air tax” fee as well as not paying for dock<br />
fees till all this is settled. Towards that end<br />
Assemblyman Silva is trying to set up a<br />
Town Hall meeting for everyone to have<br />
their say. All <strong>Harbour</strong> residents should be<br />
thankful to our local legislators for looking<br />
out for us.<br />

Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Garden <strong>Club</strong><br />
by Barbara Devlin, Doreen Hill, Kay Goddard and Norma Gibbs<br />
Members looking at the vast array of fl owers grown by the Speaker of the Day at the Feb. meeting are Kay<br />
Goddard, Hostess Marti Klarin, Pam Smart and Allan Garofalow of Tuition Growers, Inc.<br />
The Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Garden<br />
<strong>Club</strong> <strong>February</strong> meeting was held at the<br />
home of Marti Klarin with co-hostesses,<br />
Mary Johnston, Barbara Devlin and<br />
Barbara Simone preparing a lovely salad<br />
luncheon and dessert for members and<br />
guests. The Speaker of the Day was Allan<br />
Garofalow of Tuition Growers (tuition<br />
growers.net), a member of the California<br />
Organic Growers who specializes in<br />
growing vegetables and flowers from seed.<br />
He raises unusual and rare flowers from<br />
seeds and supplies local nurseries and was<br />
at one time the main supplier for Mary<br />
Lou Heard’s Garden in Westminster. He<br />
focuses on Cottage Garden plants for the<br />
wholesale nursery. He told us that it was<br />
better to buy small plants rather than<br />
big plants to put into the garden as most<br />
large plants are root bound. Ninety-five<br />
percent of his plants are grown from seed<br />
and he uses a vacuum and puts 288 seeds<br />
at one time into a form with soil. When<br />
the plant has two sets of leaves in the<br />
form it is time to replant the plants in a<br />
4 inch pot. Always pick up the plant by<br />
the leaves—not the stem because you will<br />

6100 Warner Ave, H.B., CA 92647<br />
dissolve the root ball if you pickup the<br />
plant by the stem. He grows all the seeds<br />
in his own back yard and has clear plastic<br />
over the plants to protect them from<br />
wind and rain and it keeps them warmer<br />
in the winter. Members were thrilled<br />
because he brought rare seedling plants<br />
that many members have been seeking for<br />
years such as the Godetia, Rosy Morn—a<br />
pastel shaded Cosmos. He suggested<br />
feeding plants with bone meal and fish<br />
emulsion. All of his plants are annuals but<br />
they reseed from year to year.<br />
The January HHGC Garden of<br />
the Month Award was presented to the<br />
garden of Kim & Craig Allison who<br />
have installed a drought tolerant garden<br />
at 3922 Finisterre on Davenport Island.<br />
The garden designed by Craig features<br />
a variety of succulents and grasses. The<br />
attractive containers are fashioned from<br />
sewer gauge piping, saved from the scrap<br />
heap by Craig.<br />
Two of our <strong>Club</strong>’s Master Gardeners,<br />
Kay Sullivan and Barbara Simone spoke<br />

<strong>Club</strong>house off Edinger Ave. Kay and<br />
Barbara brought lots of tomato seeds, pots<br />
and mix for members to plant their own<br />
various tomato seeds. (At the <strong>February</strong><br />
meeting Marti Klarin showed member<br />
the seeds she planted in January <strong>2011</strong> and<br />
they are all about 4” tall.) Tomatoes<br />
should be planted in full sun and to<br />
reduce the possibility of disease, don’t<br />
plant your tomatoes in the same spot each<br />
year. Dig a hole at least twice the size of<br />
the container. A healthy tomato plant will<br />
grow deep roots. Tomatoes are tolerant of<br />
most garden soils and will grow without<br />
fertilizers; however your tomato will<br />
appreciate some mild organic fertilizer<br />
or organic mulch dug into the planting<br />
hole. Tomato plants like infrequent but<br />
deep watering. As the tomato grows the<br />
lowest leaves will turn yellow and die over<br />
time. This is normal and not a problem.<br />
Following the interactive tomato growing<br />
program a delicious luncheon was served<br />
and prepared by members, Pearl Holmes,<br />
Hostess and Irene Cooper and Betty<br />
McCarthy, co hostesses of the day. We<br />
were thrilled to have two guests, Melinda<br />
Sakioka and Jo Anne Blair join us for the<br />
meeting and lunch..<br />
The HHGC Garden Of The Month<br />
Award for <strong>February</strong> was given to the<br />
garden of Mary and Bruch Belcher who<br />
have designed their own drought tolerant<br />
front landscape and patio. This has been<br />
an ongoing project of Mary for many<br />
years and this latest planting is a grand<br />
experiment that has turned out to be<br />
quite attractive. The Japanese Maple tree<br />
and the Plum Tree are particularly attractive<br />
in late spring when the plum is in full<br />
blossom. The three gold canyon sunflower<br />
plants (venegasia carpesioides) bloom in<br />
front of the garden wall with gorgeous<br />
yellow flowers in spring. The flowering<br />
melaleuca with its pink pompons is in<br />
bloom most of the year. Spanish lavender<br />
is scattered throughout the native and<br />
succulent garden.<br />
The HHGC is open to all residents<br />
of the <strong>Harbour</strong>. Meetings are held on the<br />
second Tuesday of the month at 10:00<br />
a.m. in member’s homes. Please call<br />
Connie Mandic at 714-377-0017 if you<br />
are interested in visiting and finding out<br />
more about our upcoming programs.<br />
Our excursion to the Sherman<br />
Library and Gardens and lunch at Café<br />
Jardin is planned for March 29th for<br />
members and guests.
FINS<br />
by Barbara Devlin & Doreen Hill<br />
Members of FINS at the Annual Dump it Party at the home of Maggie & Ken<br />
Flavia are Jon Fults, Lois Fults, Mary Johnston and Marge Mitchell.<br />
Seen enjoying the Valentine Day Luncheon of Daytime Gourmet are the cooks<br />
of the day Gloria Beckstrom, Hostess June Ascolesi, Marian Galanis and co<br />
Hostess Mary Johnston.<br />
The Annual FINS “DUMP-IT<br />
PARTY” was held again at the home of<br />
Maggie & Ken Flavia with the assistance<br />
of their son Kevin who usually visits his<br />
parents from Santa Cruz every year to<br />
help with the preparations. The “Dump it<br />
Party” is where you can get rid of any new<br />
gift you received last year that you did<br />
not want or could not use, the sillier the<br />
better. Dinner was a catered affair by the<br />
Olive Pit, a new restaurant on Bolsa Chica<br />
St. that was delicious. The gift theme<br />
this year seemed to be T-Shirts sporting<br />
various slogans Tom Mitchell started<br />
off the evening by opening a package<br />
containing a large shirt that said “Born<br />
Lucky” with a white shamrock on a dark<br />
green background. Bob Beckstrom stole<br />
the “Born Lucky” shirt and was proud<br />
of it. Barbara Simone took home a “Fish<br />
Story” shirt depicting a fish increasing in<br />
size as time goes by. Rita Collins picked<br />
a package with a skiing Snowman. Some<br />
other “Dump It” gifts were a jewelry<br />
bag won by Carol Gallagher, two soft<br />
penguins won by Gloria Sliney but stolen<br />
by Pat Johnson, Maggie Flavia received<br />
the”dump” it gift back that she gave last<br />
year. We can’t want to see who gets it next<br />
year! Every time Maggie opened a package<br />
she had it stolen from her four times<br />
in all. Bill Collins won a shirt that said<br />
“I’m retired—having a good time is my<br />
job.” Craig Johnson’s gift was a bottle of<br />
Irish Whiskey but he did not have it long<br />
as Gene Simone stole it from him and<br />
Craig picked out another gift that turned<br />
out to be “nipple warmers” all the way<br />
from Australia. The hit of the evening was<br />
Craig modeling the gift! After gifts members<br />
adjourned to the kitchen where they<br />
made their own sundaes with vanilla ice<br />
cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream,<br />
nuts and cherries.<br />
Daytime Gourmet Members had a<br />
“Ladies Valentine Luncheon” at the home<br />
of June Ascolesi. June and Mary Johnston,<br />
the co-hostess went all-out with the valentine<br />
theme in the red and white table<br />
decorations that included floral arrangements<br />
of red camellias as most of us have<br />
only seen pink ones. Every guest received<br />
a Heart decorated bag with valentine<br />
shaped chocolates, homemade Valentine<br />
cookies made by Mary and candy made<br />
by June along with heart shaped fortune<br />

At the Anglers annual Installation<br />
and Awards Banquet Bruce and Kathy<br />
Bayless were honored as 2010 “Anglers<br />
of the Year” for their dedicated service<br />
to the Anglers of Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Both Bruce and Kathy have served on<br />
the Anglers Board for the past 10 years,<br />
helped raise money every year to support<br />
the group’s philanthropies and each<br />
has served two terms as President of the<br />
Anglers. During Bruce’s first term in 2004<br />
the Anglers by-laws were changed to allow<br />
ladies to serve as officers. In 2008 Kathy<br />
was elected the first lady President since<br />
the Anglers were founded in 1965. Under<br />
Kathy’s leadership the Anglers re-incorporated<br />
as a 501-c3 charitable corporation so<br />
the organization could continue to raise<br />
money for the Angler’s philanthropies.<br />

by Eva Kilgore<br />
Brian and Michelle Metherall were fabulously<br />
dressed at “All That Jazz”<br />
All That Jazz<br />
Close to 200 people, dressed in some<br />
incredible outfits, gathered at Old Ranch<br />
Country <strong>Club</strong> for a night full of toasting,<br />
eating, and dancing. The theme was “All<br />
That Jazz”, and everything from boas to<br />
fedoras were sported. Didi Stanton even<br />
wore a flapper dress (and wore it with<br />
style).<br />
The grand marshal event is an evening<br />
to thank the head of our annual boat<br />
parade and to announce the new grand<br />
marshal. Calvin Free did a spectacular job<br />
as our 2010 leader of the parade and his<br />
pinstriped suit was just perfect. THANK<br />
YOU, Calvin.<br />
Parade captain Craig Ferguson was<br />
on hand, along with night captains Dean<br />
Stanton, Brian Metherall, and Norm<br />
Huniu. Mike Novak was there in spirit...<br />
but in Park City Utah the night of the<br />
event.<br />
Homes Uniquely You<br />
Since 1990<br />
Congratulations to Jenny Huntsinger the <strong>2011</strong><br />
Grand Marshal!<br />
Boat parade committee members<br />
deserved a special thank you. Jenny<br />
Huntsinger and Teresa Nicols chaired,<br />
with assistance from Benita Jacobs, Linda<br />
Parlee, Kim Willingham (in an marvelously<br />
chic hat and outfit), Judy Ibarra,<br />
Karen Tribble, and Donna Gray. Also,<br />
many lieutenants were ready to party, and<br />
dance the night away.<br />
Teresa Nichols took the microphone<br />
to talk about the parade, and then went<br />
over to a covered easel, took the covering<br />
off slowly, and the excitement built.<br />
Who is to be our grand marshal<br />
this year? Jenny Huntsinger! Her photo<br />
was unveiled on that easel (Jenny was in<br />
Chicago while the event was going on).<br />
Lots of cheers, applause, champagne and<br />
big smiles all around. This is the first<br />
time in our 49 year parade history that a<br />
woman will be at the helm! YAY JENNY!<br />
There was a jazz singer, Jan Elsen, and<br />
The Yachtsmen performed to a delighted<br />
crowd. Dinner was delicious. HHPC<br />
chairmen Lisa Mulvania and Terri Feterik<br />
thanked everyone for all of their volunteer<br />
service.<br />

by Eva Kilgore<br />
Are we proud? Yes we are! Jenny<br />
Huntsinger is our new Grand Marshal!<br />
Jenny will be leading the <strong>2011</strong><br />
Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Boat Parade. She<br />
was honored at the “All That Jazz” event<br />
at Old Ranch Country <strong>Club</strong>!<br />
Islander Teresa Nichols unveiled<br />
Jenny’s picture , and there were big rounds<br />
of applause along with much toasting!<br />
Calvin Free (husband of Islander Pam<br />
Free) looked dapper in his pinstriped suit<br />
when thanking each and every member<br />
of the HHPC for all their help during<br />
this year’s parade.<br />
Thanks to Jo Andrews for her work<br />
on the Grand Marshal Event Committee.<br />
Good job, Jo! And thanks to parade<br />
captain Craig Ferguson (wife Diane),<br />
night captains Brian Metherall (wife<br />
Michele), Dean Stanton (wife Didi), and<br />
Norm Huniu (wife Julie)... all Islanders!<br />
Thanks to all the Islander lieutenants!<br />
We couldn’t have done it without you.<br />
President Niki Kubeck is doing an<br />
incredible job as president, and her winning<br />
smile is contagious.<br />
Our own Diana Wood is leading<br />
L to R: Julie Huniu, Jenny Huntsinger, Eva Kilgore, and Rocio Griley enjoyed the Islander tea!<br />
the Juniors. Diana is in the process of<br />
planning the Junior’s fashion show “Tea<br />
Time” slated for May 1 at Old Ranch<br />
Country <strong>Club</strong>. Islanders will be there en<br />
masse, you can count on it.<br />
Speaking of tea time, the beautiful<br />
home of Natalie Elliot was the setting for<br />
the Islander tea. We munched on little<br />
sandwiches, scones, and sipped our tea<br />
in style. Davenport’s catered the affair. A<br />
delightful day!<br />
One last thing to talk about (bragging<br />
rights). Many, many thanks to Scot<br />
Campbell (wife Heather), and Cristi<br />
Ulrich of Coldwell Banker Realty for<br />
their generous sponsorship of our boat<br />

HHPC: Marina Windjammers<br />
by Judi Ibarra<br />
<strong>February</strong> and March were very busy<br />
months for the Windjammers. Through<br />
weather enhancements and holiday weekends,<br />
our group forged on to bring music<br />
to the children of Orange County and our<br />
members.<br />
Our <strong>February</strong> meeting, at the waterfront<br />
home of Margie Finlay, was capped<br />
off with the fine instrument finesse of one<br />
April Cap. This delightful young lady<br />
was not only an excellent oboe player, she<br />
was educational and entertaining. She<br />
demonstrated her skills on this and the<br />
French horn. We are so fortunate to be in<br />
the midst of fine young musicians, and see<br />
them blossom in their craft.<br />
The first week of <strong>February</strong> saw<br />
the Marina Windjammers utilize the<br />
Music Mobile at Lakeview, Starview<br />
and Huntington Seacliff Schools. Our<br />
very own Carlone Herman oversees this<br />
activity which brings sparkle to the eyes<br />
and ears of many third graders. Our new<br />
van, purchased last year with healthy<br />
donations from many of you, is fi lled<br />
with new instruments as well and the<br />
school children showed us why we do the<br />
fundraising. It is pure delight to watch<br />
the young ones touch, play and discover<br />
sounds made by the different instruments.<br />
One teacher spoke to us about a<br />
youngster with autism. His shyness prevented<br />
him from participating with the<br />
group, but during recess time, he picked<br />
up an instrument and learned about the<br />
HHPC: Admiralty<br />
by Pat Kenmore<br />
The “Gang’s all here” described the<br />
great tum-out for our <strong>February</strong> meeting.<br />
Could it be the party people liked the<br />
cocktail hour meeting? (Which was due<br />
to many just back, that noon, from the<br />
Mexico cruise) Or, that it was held at the<br />
fun Coral Cay home of Terri and Mike<br />
Feterik? Whatever, it was good to see<br />
Norma Kowles, Bobbie Sheldon (in from<br />
the desert), Lee Swearingen, and Janice<br />
Belk, return to the fold!<br />
Our new members were on “overload”<br />
with all the clip-boards going<br />
around to sign up for Design house,<br />
ushering for concerts, music mobile-hours<br />
and Grand Marshal ball table seating.<br />
Keeping our reputation as the party<br />
group, we have a big sign-up of members<br />
attendiing the ball, making Anita Osgood<br />
our ball chairman very happy. I’ll report<br />
on that next time! See you there.<br />
April Cap charming the Marina Windjammers.<br />
Ladies of Admiralty Group<br />
sound it makes. It was a beautiful sight.<br />
Carlone reports that it was the best year<br />
we’ve ever had with the Music Mobile.<br />
We are thankful for the van and the new<br />
instruments we were able to purchase.<br />
If you didn’t’ make it to the Design<br />
House this year, make sure to mark your<br />
calendars for next year. The Maison<br />
del la Mer, a French inspired estate that<br />
overlooks Newport Harbor and the<br />
coastline, was awesome! Those of us who<br />
sold tickets and acted as docents, had a<br />
ball roaming through the three floors of<br />
floating staircases, stone and walnut flooring,<br />
theatre, wine tasting room, infinity<br />
pool and separate casita. This historic<br />
looking masterpiece, with modern amenities,<br />
is sponsored by California Homes<br />
<strong>Magazine</strong>, and designed by Orange<br />
County and Los Angeles area designers.<br />
You can rent it for your next party.<br />
All proceeds benefit the Philharmonic<br />
Society Youth Music Programs.<br />
We are always busy in March with<br />
student concerts. This year, many were<br />
held in area church halls with several at<br />
Segerstrom Hall. Our efforts and hours<br />
making these concerts happen has a huge<br />
payoff as we watch children enraptured<br />
with the world of symphony music.<br />
Their appreciation for this art form is so<br />
apparent as they move about, stay focused<br />
and sometimes keep the beat along with<br />
the director. We have so many enjoyable<br />
moments in this society and we engage in<br />
new friendships.<br />
Come and join us, we are a fun loving<br />
group. For details on our next meeting,<br />
call Susie Sampson at (714) 892-0202.<br />

Bolsa Chica Land Trust<br />
by Flossie Horgan, Executive Director<br />
Bolsa Chica Land Trust junior stewards at work.<br />
The Land Trust is happy to<br />
announce the hiring of Mark Hay, the<br />
new Junior Stewards Coordinator! A<br />
priority of the Land Trust is to nurture<br />
our youth about the wonders of Bolsa<br />
Chica. The Junior Stewards program<br />
blends hands-on restoration work with<br />
creative, fun and educational activities<br />
aimed at nurturing the knowledge and<br />
self-esteem needed for the next generation<br />
to take on the stewardship of our<br />
precious wild spaces. We recognize an<br />
important educational experience in<br />
the actual hands-on process of planting<br />
native plants, and we have seen how<br />
it resonates all who help restore Bolsa<br />
Chica.<br />
Hired through generous grants<br />
from the Orange County Community<br />
Foundation and Southern California<br />
Edison, Mark is on board to grow and<br />
nurture the program. The kids lead<br />
the group, but they need an adult to<br />
coordinate their activities and help to<br />
make it happen! Mark comes to Bolsa<br />
Chica Land Trust with many years of<br />
Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Republican Women, Federated<br />
by Joe Andrews<br />
experience as a naturalist and educator<br />
and we are thrilled to have him as a part<br />
of the Stewards team. If you are interested<br />
in enrolling a child into the Jr.<br />
Stewards program please contact Mark<br />

Yacht <strong>Club</strong>. This unique event was for<br />
IOBG members only.<br />
We will also be having a Boat Safety<br />
Luncheon, several events associated<br />
with one of our favorite charities - the<br />
Charity Regatta. July we will be having<br />
a delicious BBQ event for members only.<br />
July 3 we will be off to the Hollywood<br />
Bowl for a wonderful concert and fi reworks<br />
display. August features a Luau<br />
with entertainment by “Happy Feet”<br />
an all-girl band. September will feature<br />
Brunch at the Long Beach YC.<br />
October will be a “burn your own<br />
steak” at the Seal Beach YC. Two big<br />
events are scheduled for December - a<br />
Duff y Cruise to see the Christmas decorated<br />
homes in Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
and an event featuring the Boat Parade.<br />
Both of these events are for IOBG members<br />
only.<br />
We try to schedule an event every<br />
month, sometimes two. We enjoy each<br />
others company, try to contribute something<br />
along the way for the betterment<br />
of our community, and just have fun.<br />
We’ve had a few quiet months, but<br />
are now gearing up for spring! Getting<br />
ready to help the homeless children at<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> View, Marina High School, and<br />
Huntington Beach High School.<br />
What do we need? Gift cards in<br />
small amounts to CVS and Von’s, and<br />
toiletries. School supplies (paper, pens,<br />
pencils, glue sticks, crayons) are welcome,<br />
too. MANY thanks to little Sammy<br />
Carter.<br />
At Sammy’s birthday party, he<br />
didn’t request Hot Wheels, or the latest<br />
video games. Sammy wanted monetary<br />
donations to help the homeless children.<br />
Result? Kiwanis of Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
received a generous donation that<br />
will help many. HAPPY BIRTHDAY<br />
SAMMY! And...thank you.<br />
Parents Parvaneh and Patrick are<br />
very, very proud. We would love your<br />
help. Please call 714-840-5090. Many<br />
thanks in advance for helping to make<br />
our community a wonderful place to live.<br />
Parvaneh, Sammy, and Patrick Carter. Sammy donated his birthday money to Kiwanis of Huntington<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Newcomers<br />
by Patti Goughary<br />
Newcomers had the best Friendship<br />
Tea this last <strong>February</strong>. Our Social VPs,<br />
Margaret Humphreys, and Cathy<br />
Kelly, planned for every detail to make<br />
an authentic English tea for all of us to<br />
enjoy. There were fresh flowers, linens,<br />
china and silver serving pieces at each<br />
setting. We had wonderful teas, with<br />
thick cream and sugar. The buffet had<br />
scrumptious fresh baked goods with<br />
scones, sausage rolls, a beautiful red velvet<br />
cake, eclairs, huge chocolate covered<br />
strawberries, and fi nger sandwiches<br />
that were delightful. We had lemon<br />
curd, jams, and Devonshire cream to<br />
add to our blueberry or raison scones.<br />
Plus, cute strawberry trifles to enjoy!<br />
We had a great showing of members<br />
who had fun building on friendships.<br />
And we thoroughly enjoyed the artistry<br />
of Margaret, her daughter, and Cathy,<br />
in creating a wonderful cozy feeling for<br />
our English Tea Party.<br />
Our VPs of Social Activities are Margaret Humphreys and Cathy Kelly.<br />
Our next events include a Cocktail<br />
Hour event that will be held on April<br />
1st, where members will bring their<br />
favorite appetizer and enjoy an evening<br />
with other couples. Then, we have a<br />
Progressive Dinner event that is still in<br />
the planning stages, and should be a lot<br />
of fun as well.<br />
If you are new to Huntington<br />
Harbor (within last 3 years), please send<br />

Trinidad Ladies Group<br />
by Jan Little Carone<br />
The <strong>February</strong> meeting of the<br />
Trinidad Ladies <strong>Club</strong> was held at at the<br />
beautiful home of new member Sandy<br />
Reynolds. Cocktails and snacks captured<br />
the ambiance of the Valentine theme<br />
evening as members mingled to enjoy a<br />
social time with other members. Since<br />
most meetings are held during the day,<br />
it is special to have an evening meeting<br />
where members can enjoy the company of<br />
those who are employed during the day.<br />
Social time was followed by a brief meeting.<br />
After the meeting members enjoyed<br />
a dinner of homemade soups, made by<br />
Hostess Sandy Reynolds and member<br />
Kathy Korneff. There were also salads,<br />
and desserts.<br />
Our March meeting was held on<br />
Tuesday March 1 at the home of Mary<br />
Shebell. The program was presented by B<br />
to Z Organizing. They are specialists in<br />
helping to downsize and organize. This<br />
was an informative meeting just in time<br />
for Spring Cleaning.<br />
Thank you members for all you do<br />
to make every TLC meeting memorable.<br />
