Installation Luncheon, May, 2012, Shenandoah at the Arbor, 2012 -2013 Board. 

After another wonderful, typical 

Southern California summer, the ALL 

Garden Club of Huntington Harbour 

began a new season of learning, sharing, 

and enjoying the company of 

fellow gardeners (and some wannabe’s) 

on September 19. We meet on alternate 

months, generally having a short business 

meeting followed by a speaker and 

lunch at the HHYC. The September 

meeting featured Mary Wagner, expert 

in Feldenkraif Movement Therapy. She 

conducted a workshop on “Gardening 

without Aches and Pains”. Focusing 

on how gardeners can make simple 

adjustments in order to assure healthy 

movement, Mary stressed an awareness of 

ergonomics and body awareness exercises. 

As a bonus, she also demonstrated simple 

self-massage techniques. Much good 

information was provided and members 

asked important questions. 

In the alternate months between 

meetings, we like to get out and visit 

some of the many gardens in the nearby 

areas to enjoy the natural or enhanced 

gardens so plentiful in this part of the 

world! On October 17, Toni Aquino, one 

of our members, has made arrangements 

to visit The Hai Lai Buddhist Temple in 

Hacienda Heights. We will have a docent 

led tour of about forty-five minutes, 

exploring the gardens, art, and architecture 

that is so well known. Following the 

visit to the temple, we will enjoy lunch in 

the nearby area. 

ALL Garden Club officers and 

committee chairs for the 2012 – 2013 

season are: President, Lyn Senske; 

1st VP, Membership, Linda Axel; 1st

these kinds of activities, or might just like 

to visit once to check us out. Linda Axel is

and was a big hit with the Supper Club 

members. 

Daytime Gourmet members take 

a break from cooking in the summer 

and every August they enjoy trying 

out restaurants in the area. This year 

they decided to return to Antonelli’s, in 

Newport Beach, and repeat their menu 

from their May installation of fi let of sole, 

tossed green salad, and Panna Cotta for 

dessert. We all enjoyed it immensely for 

the second time this summer. 

FINS members Carol Gallagher, 

Maggie Flavia, Mary Johnston, Pearl 

Holmes and Barbara Simone enjoyed an 

excursion with the Rogers Senior Center 

group to Disney Hall in Los Angeles in 

August to see the program “Carmen 

on Broadway” with the California 

Philharmonic, and the LA Master 

Chorale. The concert included four 

excellent soloists. Lunch was served at the 

Disney Hall Café. 

The Annual FINS pre-Fourth of 

July Party was held this year for over 

forty members at the Rancho Del Rey 

Clubhouse on Saturday, June 30. It was 

really a Red, White and Blue Event as all the 

tables had red, blue and white tablecloths 

with red, white and blue large balloons 

attached to the tables! Decorations were 

planned and decorated by Rita Collins. 

The event was a pot luck with members 

bringing delicious Appetizers, Salads, 

Main Dishes and Dessert. June Ascolesi 

brought a beautiful dessert for the Fourth 

of July, a 9 x 13 caked decorated as an 

American Flag! Chairman of the Event 

was Barbara Simone.

SYC’s Annual Duffy Cruise 

On Saturday August 11, Seagate 

Yacht Club held their annual Duffy 

Cruise. The event featured a cruise of 

Huntington Harbor by twelve Duffy 

boats all loaded with enthusiastic 

passengers and crew were amply supplied 

with rations and libations to survive the 

one and one-half hour marathon. After 

securing to the Bonaire docks the skippers 

and their hardy crews advanced to the 

clubhouse for proper cocktails, snacks and 

a mixology demonstration and sampling 

by Sue Giali featuring tropical drinks. 

A Hawaiian themed dinner and desserts 

were served and during the evening 

numerous prizes were awarded. 

The winner of the best boat/crew 

was “Wine Time” skippered by Robin 

Clark and first mate Jean. All participants 

were given specially designed SGYC hats 

as a reward for their steadfastness on the 

high seas. The festivities were hosted by 

Candy & Kevin Cloud, Pat & Vaughn 

Jenkes, and Sherrill & Joel Lander. They 

salute you all. Our sincere thanks for 

everyone’s support with this event, you all 

contributed to its success. 

SYC’s Progressive Dinner 

On July 14 the Club celebrated the 

Olympics and the London 2012 summer 

games during its annual Progressive 

Dinner. More than 110 members and 

guests, wearing the colors of the country 

they were supporting, arrived in eleven 

boats, as well as on foot and auto, for the 

first event at the beautiful SeaGate home 

of Floyd & Mira D’Angelo. For more 

than an hour, we commemorated ancient 

Greece with special appetizers, beverages 

and decorations. 

The party moved on to the second 

event at the clubhouse, where the U.S. 

Olympic team was in full focus. The 

room was a medley of red, white & blue, 

including Olympic decorations and worldclass 

center pieces featuring the American 

flag adorned by the flags of other countries 

(thank you, Floyd D’Angelo!). Michael 

Phelps was nice enough to provide several 

autographed pictures that we used as 

placemats. Following a great all-American 

dinner, it was on to Ray and Jan Nagele’s 

lovely corner-lot home for the third and 

final event – a celebration of London and 

the London 2012 summer games. We 

enjoyed classic English desserts, beverages 

and coffee with cordials. The party had

Huntington Harbour Art Association 

by Jackie Dvorman 

Dining at Tivoli Terrace, Laguna Beach after Tour of Festival of Arts. 

Kathleen Moore won First Place in 

the Orange County Fair this summer for 

her quilting pillow made from her late 

father’s silk bow ties. She pieced them 

together and placed two large ties on the 

front section . It was a lovely way to honor 

her father’s memory. 

The members enjoyed luncheon 

at the Culinary Arts restaurant “Fifty 

Forks” where the unique menu is created 

by the students and faculty. Two tables of 

members started with an amuse of exotic 

juices served in an aperitif glass followed 

by shellfi sh in a saffron broth. Dessert of 

a many-layered apple cake completed the 

meal. Members toured the upstairs teaching 

facility after the meal. 

The fall membership luncheon was 

held in September at Sebastian’s Italian 

Restaurant. Todd Ventura of Bill’s 

Camera Shop spoke of composing successful 

digital shots. 

We’re looking forward to the annual 

cocktail party to be held on October 6 

at the recently renovated home of Sharon 

Larson on Davenport Island. We’re looking 

forward to the event to begin the 

holiday season in the Harbour.

Re-Elect Former Mayor 

Dave Sullivan 

Dear Huntington Harbour Neighbor, 

After 12 years of service, twice as mayor, I am again running for city council. 

Our city is in a severe fiscal crisis and I feel that my experience and fiscally 

conservative philosophy can help. 

Further, my previous 12 years on the council tells me that it is vital for you 

to have a Huntington Harbour resident representing you on the city council 

in order to advocate for Huntington Harbour issues. 

My philosophy: A councilperson should actively solicit the public’s views 

and act on them. 

A city’s budget is no different than a family’s budget. Don’t spend what you 

don’t have. 

Sincerely, 

Dave Sullivan

have planned enjoyable and educational 

programs to follow our monthly meetings. 

In September, members of SIGC 

continued our work with Eyes on Edinger 

by participating in a fun review of our 

Edinger Parkway Plant Identification 

Program. For the Lady Bug Scavenger 

Hunt, Carolyn sent us exploring in 

teams of two, gathering samples of all 

the shrubs, 4 tree types, and various 

ground cover we could identify, that 

are all flourishing along Edinger. Prizes 

were awarded to the winning teams, after 

which everyone shared an after-summer 

luncheon along with stories of summer 

activities. 

Vice President for Membership 

Cindy Allen distributed the new 

Membership books, again published by 

Maria and Jim Lockie’s Print’n’Copy.

The cover this year featured Cindy’s own 

photos of the California Matilija poppy 

and the Pride of Madeira plants, both of 

which are providing new habitat along 

Edinger for bees, monarch butterfl ies, 

and hummingbirds. 

Mary Ann announced our Club’s 

goal for the coming year is to work with 

the City of Huntington Beach on creating 

a donor recognition area in the Parkway, 

and to monitor the 2013 planning of the 

bike path. 

On Wednesday, October 10th, Sea 

Isle Garden Club members will meet at 

the SeaGate Clubhouse for a short business 

meeting, then carpool to the Plant 

Stand in Costa Mesa for a workshop 

and tour of the facility featuring tropical 

and landscape plants, garden décor, and 

gifts. It would be a great opportunity to 

get your persistent questions about your 

own plants answered. For those of you 

who start your Holiday shopping early, 

you will appreciate the Plant Stand’s 

assortment of locally made crafts, and 

decorative items not found elsewhere. 

We will then have lunch at the Soup 

Plantation in Fountain Valley. 

Some of the other programs the Sea 

Isle Garden Club plan to have in 2012-

Jane Griley, Kristen Thompson, Mary Thompson. 

Thirty members and friends of La 

Traviata attended the Afternoon Theater 

Party – organized by Mary Busche - to 

see “My Fair Lady” at the Rose Center 

Theater. This was a sparkling production 

of Lerner and Lowes classic musical. 

Afterward, the group went to have drinks 

Board members of the Flying 

Dutchman Chapter of the Segerstrom 

Center for the Arts were treated to a 

luncheon by Chairman Bobbitt Williams 

at a country club in Newport Beach in 

late August to plan events for the coming 

year. Those attending were Bobbitt 

Williams, chairman, Carol Kirkwood, 

membership; Mike Nielsen, Ways and 

Means; Jan Goss, Recording Secretary; 

Gayle Wayne, hospitality; Charlene 

Bauer, parliamentarian; and Frieda 

Koester, publicity. 

The group planned five meetings for 

the year and enthusiastically supported 

themes and entertainment for the 

events. Details were outlined for the 

September 29th fund raiser which was 

held at the lovely home of Marlene and 

Chris Neilsen. A program of Broadway 

Musicals was performed by students from 

the Orange County School of Arts. It was 

a perfect evening that provided delicious 

food, exchanges of chat about summer 

activities, and a big welcome to many 

guests. 

If you are interested in learning more 

about our group, or the Segerstrom Center 

for the Arts, contact our membership 

chairman, Carol Kirkwood at carol@

chapters of the Guilds – created in 

1978 – eight years before the opening 

of Segerstrom Hall, as a cohesive, 

countywide volunteer support group 

11 

to promote the vision of a world class 

performing arts center in Orange County. 

La Traviata members are proud of their 

role in helping to accomplish this vision. 

Today – we support local theater as well 

as performances at Segerstrom Center for 

the Arts.

Huntington Harbour Garden Club 

by Kitty Rozenstraten 

At installation, L to R: Gloria Beckstrom, Betty McCarthy, Mary Johnston, Wendy Gingerich, Carole 

Weninger, Barbara Devlin, and Pearl Holmes. 

Summer Time! Who said the living 

is easy? Not so for some members of the 

Huntington Harbour Garden Club. 

Not for the 2012-2013 board members 

who were installed on June 19, 2012 

during a lunch meeting at Shenandoah 

at the Arbor in Los Alamitos. Board 

members are: President: Doreen Hill; 

First Vice President: (Ways and Means) 

Betty McCarthy; Second Vice President

Gloria Beckstrom; Third Vice President 

(Hospitality): Donna Shaffer, assisted 

by Carole Weninger; Secretary: Irene

Smart; Treasurer: Mary Johnston; and 

Parliamentarian: Wynne Hayes. 

While some HHGC members were 

taking it easy, tending their gardens, 

traveling, watching the Olympics, 

entertaining visiting family and friends; 

board members got together several times 

to plan the program for 2012-2013. In 

her dual role as Yearbook Chairperson,

of the new yearbook. Every year our 

yearbook is truly a work of art, embellished 

with many beautiful photographs. It is no 

wonder the 2011-2012 HHGC year book 

was awarded first place in its category by 

California Garden Clubs., Inc. Members 

will be able to admire the new yearbook 

on the first meeting of the year scheduled 

for September 18, 2012. 

We are proud to see the names of 

three new members in our yearbook: Elise 

Masseling, Jeanne Nakamura and Wendy 

Gingerich. Besides a love for gardening, 

Elise also enjoys music and singing in the 

choir of GWC. Elise and her husband 

Jake have a passion for traveling and 

are planning a trip to Australia this fall. 

Jeanne moved to Huntington Beach 

from La Habra seven years ago. She is 

an avid golfer and gardener, of course. 

She has a passion for growing sweet peas 

and plumerias. Wendy, a retired science 

teacher, has lived in Huntington Beach 

for more than 40 years. Now that she is 

retired, gardening has become her favorite 

pastime. Her main area of interest lies in 

the Norma B. Gibbs Butterfly Park. 

In July Wendy Nakamura and Pearl 

Holmes, Newsletter Editor, attended 

a lecture given by Leslie Gilson at 

Sherman Gardens. Leslie Gilson is the 

Restoration Coordinator for the Norma 

B. Gibbs Butterfly Park in Huntington 

Beach. The restoration project at the 

park was started in 2008. Its mission is 

the restoration and preservation of the 

Monarch Butterfly habitat. The project 

includes removal of dead trees and 

planting new trees and plants, especially 

milkweed plants or Asclepias fascicularis. 

Monarch caterpillars eat only the leaves 

from milkweed plants; a single caterpillar 

can eat 20-30 leaves before she is ready 

to make her chrysalis. Besides milkweed 

plants, Ms Gilson and her volunteers also 

plant a wide variety of “nectar plants”. 

Nectar plants attract and feed adult 

butterflies and others insects and even 

birds. If you haven’t visited The Gibbs 

Butterfly Park, you will be pleasantly 

surprised. It is located on 11641 Graham 

Street, Huntington Beach across from the 

Meadowlark Golf Course. 

Supporting the stewardship of the 

park is an example of the more than dozen 

philanthropies of the HHGC. Others are 

providing seed money and actual labor 

for the gardening projects at several local 

elementary schools, the Native Garden 

for Science Students at GWC, the Shipley

Nature Center, the Bolsa Chica Land 

Trust. Members are also actively involved 

in maintaining the Rose Garden at the 

Roger’s Senior Center and participate in 

the Meals on Wheels Senior Outreach 

of Huntington Beach. Early this year 

a donation was made to Penny Pines in 

honor of Carol Wood, a former Harbour 

resident and past president of the HHGC. 

The Penny Pines Program was initiated 

in California in 1941. It is a statewide 

conservation program to help maintain 

the National Forests in California. 

During the past 60 years, individuals as 

well as organizations such as garden clubs, 

service organizations, youth groups and 

schools have raised millions of dollars to 

keep our forests green and healthy. 

The HHGC holds regular monthly 

meetings on the third Tuesday of the 

month. Lectures, presentations and 

field trips are all organized to encourage 

interest in all phases of home gardening, 

to promote better horticultural practices, 

and to stimulate interest in civic beauty. 

Meetings are especially interesting and 

lots of fun. Guests are welcome to attend.

Huntington Harbour’s Mark Ivey Coaches Team to Olympic Gold. 

by Kevin Ivey 

Olympic Gold Medallists Max Salminen (L) and Fredrik Loof with Coach Mark Ivey on the podium after 

receiving their gold medals for the Star Class. 

Huntington Harbour’s Mark Ivey 

grew up sailing sabots at Huntington 

Harbour Yacht Club from the age of 

seven years. Son of long term residents 

Kevin and Judith Ivey of Davenport 

Island, Mark has an illustrious sailing 

career. This summer the HHYC member 

coached the Swedish Star team of Fredrik 

Loof and Max Salminen to win a Gold 

Medal in the Star Class at the Olympic 

Games in Weymouth, England. Freddy 

and Max secured their gold by winning 

the Gold Medal race held on Sunday, 

August 5th. 

Mark lived in the Olympic Village 

with the Swedish sailing team and 

other sailors and coaches from all over 

the world. This was a wonderful and 

unique experience. “ I have learnt a new 

admiration and respect for Olympic 

athletes and for their coaches” says Mark. 

In 2009, Mark was named USA 

National Sailing Coach of the year after 

coaching George Szabo and Rick Peters 

to a Gold Medal at the 2009 Star World 

Championships in Varburg, Sweden. 

Mark has been coaching the Swedish 

team in regattas all over the world for 

the past year and was looking forward 

to a well earned rest when he returned to 

California from the Games. 

Orange County Barons’ Ball 2012 

for the American Cancer Society 

Co-Chairs Karyn Sanderson and Jeanie Gibson. 

The OC Barons’ League (formerly 

known as the Cattle Baron’s League) 

presents the OC Barons’ Ball “Rock 

‘n Roll for the Cure” taking place on 

Saturday, October 27, 2011 – 7:00 

p.m. at the Santa Ana Country Club, 

Santa Ana. The event features dining, 

dancing to “Danny Memphis & the 

Extraordinaires.” The event’s Co-Chairs 

are Jeanie Gibson and Karyn Sanderson. 

Proceeds from the gala will fund 

the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving 

research, educational programs, advocacy 

and patient services. To date, the 

volunteer members of the OC Barons’ 

League have raised nearly $5 million in 

the fight against cancer. 

This year, it is estimated that 11,630 

people in Orange County will hear 

the words: “You have cancer,” nearly 

16 

144,035 statewide. Because of recent 

breakthroughs in research and cancer 

education, more than 63 percent of them 

will live high quality lives for more than 

five years past their diagnosis. But we 

want to exceed survival past diagnosis to 

further support research, patient services, 

advocacy and educational programs 

for Orange County families. Last year, 

the American Cancer Society, which 

funded the research that discovered the 

mammogram, Pap smear and Tamoxifi n, 

helped more than 3,281 local cancer 

patients with free transportation for 

medical treatments, wigs, one-on-one 

emotional support, resource referrals, 

vital information, and other necessities. 

Nationally, the Society has invested more 

than $3.4 billion in cancer research, 

including funding 44 Nobel Laureates 

and investing $63.5 million last year in 

California-based research programs. 

Tickets to the OC Barons’ Ball start 

at $200 per person, and table sponsorships 

at various levels. For information, contact 

the American Cancer Society at (949) 

261-9446 (option 3) or 800-ACS-2345.

It couldn’t have been better. A tasty

was served in a setting to die for. Here 

we were on the gorgeous waterfront 

deck of Michelle Brenner in Huntington

The weather was perfect and the 

view incomparable. We just sat and 

enjoyed as we luxuriated in wonderful 

company, conversation and friends.

Foundation of Orangewood Children & 

Family Center gave a very informative 

talk about present and future activities 

at the Center. Our donations are so 

worthwhile. The children in need of 

love and support are so fortunate to be 

in Orangewood. Our donations are used 

for our designated purposes to help the 

children. 

Our dear, long-time member, Mary 

Thank you to all who attended our 

Summer Concert in the Park on August 

12th. We felt like it was a great success 

and was made all the more memorable 

by Sean Stanfield’s generous support. It 

seems that face painting was extremely 

popular, not to mention the hot dogs, 

slushy’s and popcorn. All these things 

contributed to the fun as we sat under 

the trees enjoying the music. 

People often ask what is the 

purpose of HHPOA? First of all, we are 

still the legal organization responsible 

for keeping and maintaining the 

or i g i n a l C C & R’s a s w e l l a s t he up d a t e s 

for Huntington Harbour Mainland,

as Coral Cay, Trinidad Island and

Anytime you are planning a remodel, 

approval must be obtained from 

the Architectural Committee of the

we will miss her. In her memory we ask 

those interested to donate to La Familia 

in her memory for library books for

Sunday afternoon. Good friends helping 

children of Orangewood show great 

spirit and friendship. Come join us next 

time. You’ll like it. 

HHPOA. This approval makes it easier 

when going to the City for permits. 

We are an organization concerned 

with the well being of Huntington 

Harbour overall and also support the 

maintenance of the gardens at the corner 

of Algonquin and on Courtney Lane 

and Davenport. 

Although dues are voluntary we 

urge you to pay when you receive your

not paid, reconsider and send in your 

check today. 

The Board of Directors meet 

every other month in the Huntington 

Harbour Mall. The next meeting will 

be held Wednesday the 3rd of October 

at 7 p.m. We appreciate your help and

Huntington Harbour Yacht Club 

by Bill McCormick, Vice Commodore 

HHYC members enjoying the day at Ballast Point/Cat Harbor. 

Marie and Richard Thompson in their winning dinghy entry. 

Since the last issue of the Harbour 

Light the activities at HHYC have 

continued non-stop. August 3-5 saw 

members cruising to Marina Del Rey 

Harbor and visiting the Del Rey Yacht 

Club. One of the best features of this 

cruise is the popular Friday night 

Seafood Buffett at the California YC and 

this year was no exception with many 

members driving to Marina Del Rey just 

to participate in this grand repast. 

Next, the clubs annual Cat Harbor 

Cruise was held August 31-Sept 3. 

Dinner, activities, games and a bar 

were set up at the Ballast Point Facility 

in Cat Harbor. Coordinated by Marie 

Thompson, the cruise was attended by 20 

boats and included three cocktail parties, 

an omelet bar breakfast, and a fabulous 

dinner prepared by our Fleet Captain 

and “chef par excellence” Phil Ventura. 

The annual duck race was won this year 

by Ann McCormick. In a long standing 

tradition, members decorated their 

dinghies to compete in a parade through 

the harbor in competition with Cerritos 

Bahia Yacht Club. The coveted perpetual 

trophy won last year by CBYC was won 

by HHYC this year when Marie and 

Richard Thompson’s entry was judged to 

be the winner. 

Meanwhile back in the Harbour, a 

gala Labor Day small boat cruise of the 

Harbour was put on by the Hooligans 

and included a Duff y Boat Quiz Cruise 

around the Harbour with prizes awarded 

for the boat team with the most correct 

answers. A delicious barbecued rib, beef 

and chicken dinner was waiting for the 

participants upon their return to the 

Club. 

The yacht club was closed from 

August 20-30 for a long awaited 

complete remodel and redecoration 

job under the direction of Interior 

Designer Mark Bullock. In addition to 

a complete re-painting of the interior of 

the building, new flooring was installed 

in the entryway and bar area, the bar was 

re-faced with new wood and a granite 

top, new lighting was installed in the 

entryway, new fans were installed in the 

upstairs areas, and new carpeting was 

installed in the fi rst floor dining area 

and the second floor mezzanine level. 

The result is that the club looks modern, 

fresh and more nautical. A gala grand 

opening was held for the membership 

on September 16 in conjunction with 

the Annual meeting. Alice Zamboni 

summed up the overall assessment of the 

delighted club members: FANTASTIC! 

Even though it was late in the 

season, the cruising schedule continued 

with the very popular cruise to Bahia 

Corinthian Yacht Club hosted by Steve 

and Marsha Saracco over the weekend 

of September 28-30. Attendees enjoyed 

a potluck dinner on the dock, several 

cocktail parties and a delicious dinner 

on Saturday night in the BCYC dining 

room. 

Due to popular demand, the club 

bar is now open 7 days a week with happy 

hour prices from 4 to 6 PM daily. Food 

and snacks are available each night and 

many members are now enjoying the late 

summer evenings with their fellow yacht 

club members at the club. 

The HHYC has a wide range of yearround 

social, boating and philanthropic 

events. If you live in the area, love 

19 

boating or just plain want to have fun, 

you need to become an HHYC member. 

We welcome inquiries about membership 

and would be happy to introduce you to 

the Yacht Club as our guest at one of our 

Sunday brunches our Friday night mixers 

and provide you with more information.

Zamboni (her husband Richard manned 

the bar all day) and Terry Hayden 

transformed the already gorgeous patio 

into a tropical island. With umbrella 

tables dripping with flower lei’s, pineapple 

and fruit center pieces perfuming the air

HHPC: Islanders 

by Eva Kilgore 

Jenny Huntsinger and Eva Kilgore got their heads together to talk about the boat parade, and public 

relations! 

Teresa Nichols, host of the Islander party! 

Islander president Cristi Ulrich says 

Ole! to the entire group as we get this 

season underway. To kick things off, 

our dynamic group met at the gorgeous 

waterfront home of Teresa Nichols for a 

fiesta. Thanks to Jo Andrews for handling 

the RSVP list. 

We started off with a lively meeting, 

then met up with the guys for margaritas, 

wine, beer...delicious tacos (from a very 

cool taco cart) and then, to top it all off... 

dessert! A yummy, fun night to catch up 

with everyone, and talk about our 50th 

anniversary. You’ll see Islanders at the 

HHPC Boutique (many of them). Debi 

Rodden, Julie Huniu, Linda Parlee, and 

Carrie Wexler have been busy putting it 

all together. 

Susan Qaqundah, Kim Weddon and 

many more Islanders are jumping right 

in to help. After the boutique comes the 

boat parade! So many past grand marshals 

(including our fi rst woman GM, Jenny 

Huntsinger) are getting together to make 

this a fantastic parade. Islander volunteers 

are right on board to assist. 

Then, it’s time for Cruise of 

Lights. You’ll see Islanders loading and 

unloading buses, ushering our guests, 

answering phones, and doing whatever 

it takes to ensure smooth sailing for 

more than 15,000 passengers. More on 

the boat parade and Cruise of Lights in 

December! Finally, it’s on to the Grand 

Marshal Gala Event on the Queen Mary. 

Will keep you posted.

HHPC: Boat Parade, Calling All Skippers! 

by 2012 Grand Marshal Team and the Boat Parade Committee 

The Huntington Harbour 

Philharmonic Committee is celebrating 

its Fiftieth Anniversary and the Boat 

Parade will inaugurate several of 

the special events being planned in 

recognition of this milestone. We are 

inviting you to join in the festivities by 

decorating your boat and entering the 

parade. 

This year the parade will run 

Saturday, December 8th and Sunday, 

December 9th. And because it is such a 

special occasion, the Past Grand Marshals 

have formed a team to organize and lead 

the parade in their decorated boats. They 

are looking forward to making this the 

‘best ever’ in all of Southern California! 

As you know, the Boat Parade is the 

start of our fund raiser, “Cruise of Lights®”, 

providing funds for music education for 

Orange County school children. Many of 

you have been instrumental in the past in 

making the Boat Parade a huge success. 

We encourage and welcome new as well 

as past participants. If you have thought 

about it before but just didn’t get around 

to entering, don’t hesitate this year—you 

will love being part of this! And to all past 

participants—we look forward to seeing 

your entry form again! This year’s theme, 

Golden Memories—50 Years of Music, 

should provide you with lots of decorating 

ideas. Pick a decade, a genre, a group. 

Music will fi ll the evening air and the 

Harbour channels will be fairly dancing. 

You can’t help but have fun with this. The 

official forms are available for download 

at hhboatparade.org, in “Harbour Light” 

magazine, or at the Huntington Harbour 

Philharmonic Office: 16889 Algonquin 

Street Huntington Beach, CA 92649, 

phone (714) 840-7542. 

You can reach us at GM@

it really helps us in our parade planning.

WHO WE ARE 

The Huntington Harbour Philharmonic Committee is one of 23 committees supporting the PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY OF 

ORANGE COUNTY, the county’s oldest non-profit music organization. For 50 years we have joined them in their mission to foster, 

promote and increase the knowledge and appreciation of the arts through the presentation of performances by musical artists of national and 

international stature and the development and implementation of a wide variety of music education outreach programs. 

More than a quarter of a million Orange County students, from kindergarten through high school, participate yearly in the Youth Programs 

provided by The Committees of the Philharmonic Society. The volunteers of The Committees create, provide and fund an extensive array of 

programs. Over 1,500 presentations are offered by professional musicians and trained docents at no charge to all public and private schools in 

the county. 

There are five groups in the Huntington Harbour Philharmonic Committee: Admiralty, Islander, Marina-Windjammer, Sandpiper, and 

Trinidad . Each member volunteers time with the Youth Programs and with fund raising. The reward is seeing our young people light up to 

the sights and sounds of music.. 

Our main funding project is the annual December Cruise of Lights®. For this 50th year holiday celebration, we are encouraging all our 

Harbour neighbors to decorate their homes and participate in the decorating contests so that we can carry on the spirit of the Cruise of Lights®. 

Thank you for your continued support for our music education programs.
