A sophisticated welcome
The Newport Coast estate of Joyce and Richard Nyberg welcomed the
glamorous Sophisticates of the Assessment Treatment Services Center
for its 21st annual fall membership reception.
Momma Gina’s Restaurant of Newport Beach prepared a dinner buffet
for the 150 guests arriving at the Nyberg home to show support for
the counseling services offered by ATSC. The reception was
underwritten by the generosity of Ted Matthews, Debbi and David
Schweickert, Donna Card, Grace and Patrick Thelen and Momma Gina’s.
Spotted in the ATSC crowd were Yolanda Biewers, Loren Blackwood
and Richard Moriarty, Shari Ciko, Sally Crockett, Renae Fladeboe,
Kathy Keenan, Wendy Kerr and Rick Jack, Av and Dick Kone, Cathy
Lowden, Grace and Jim Mucci, Deborah Mars and Kornell Kwock, and
Kathie and John Porter.
TALLER THAN SAN JOSE
The Newport-Mesa crowd came out to support Taller San Jose,
raising an impressive $250,000 for the Santa Ana-based youth
education and job training center.
More than 500 guests converged upon historic Mission San Juan
Capistrano for the recent Saturday evening party under the stars.
Organizers billed the event as “Light Up A Life,” with the dinner and
auction proceeds funding programs that re-direct young men from gangs
into productive citizenship.
Taller San Jose was started by the Catholic Sisters of St. Joseph
in 1995 and today serves some 500 students enrolled in training
programs including 80 young men serving as apprentices in the
construction trades through the “Taller San Jose Tech Program.” The
evening was chaired by Mimi Cora, Rita Deiss, Jannette Ingardia and
Linda Jackson.
