DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
First of all, I want to thank all the wonderful Angels on my Board who have joined me in the last two years as President to make The Guild a fun, welcoming, and nurturing environment in which to do our job – to work for the children of Orange County. The friend-ships I have made are true blessings in my life. To work with such dedicated, talented and professional women has been a priceless learning experience. In the last two years, the Board has worked hard to match the passions of our members to opportuni es to serve. We have designed “fun” events to cater to both new and long- me members. I think we have succeeded. We have brought the “fun” to all events and ac vi es, increased membership and increased our fundraising numbers by decreasing expenses. We have also tried to adhere to new Founda on pro-cedures and direc on, as well as, government guide-lines in a though ul and transparent way. We know change is hard, but our world is changing every day and we have to be flexible and work as a team to get things done in a posi ve way.
In the short four years I have been with the Li lest An-gel Guild, I have served as your Ways and Means Vice-

H HH HH H P P P 222
We are planning for a challenging an exci ng year. A “new year” is always a great me to do something new, and get involved. If you are interested in serving on a Commi ee we are looking for someone to mentor for the Home Tour (let Camille Ki ridge know) and Chair the Pursenally Yours Event in 2014 (let me know if you are interested). There are a number of roles that you can lead or be a part of the team. Learn something new, or teach someone else.
We are forming a Commi ee to study a new fund raising event in June 2014, the Great Kitch-en of Orange County, and need volunteers to be a part of pu ng together a plan and contrib-u ng ideas. More informa on to follow!

How to be reimbursed for LAG Expenses As a Guild we organize events the raise funds for CHOC. We are asking each Event Chair to develop budgets for their Events (Home Tour, Gi Faire, Pursenally Yours and CHOC Kids’ Cards). The budgets include our pro-jected revenue and expenses. Guild Members and Commi ee Chairs can incur expenses for these events. Important: All contracts (printers, caterer, venues, signage, etc.) must be made out in the name of the CHOC Founda on (not LAG, or the name of the Guild member or officer). The signer of contracts, examples Yorba Linda Community Center, Nixon Library is: Craig Easton Vice President CHOC Children’s Founda on Since the opening of the Bill Holmes Tower the mailing address for the Founda on is:
Mailing Address CHOC Children's Founda on 1201 W. LaVeta, Orange, CA 92868
The physical address for the Founda on is the same: Physical Address 505 S. Main Street, Ste. 800
Orange, CA 92868
Contracts must be submi ed to 1st Vice President of Ways & Means who will submit to the Founda on. This has been the Founda on policy since October 2011. When you incur expenses for an Event: ◊ Make certain you know the budget for these expenses in advance. ◊ Please submit your expenses in a mely manner so that all of the expenses for our Events and func ons
are correct. ◊ Keep good records, as you will need original receipts and invoices to be reimbursed by the Guild or the
Founda on. ◊ For reimbursement from the Founda on fill out the Request for Check/Reimbursement Form and a ach
the receipts. ◊ Submit the form and receipts to our Treasurer ◊ The Treasurer: Will keep a record of the expenses submi ed and help to follow up with inquiries. Provide our Event chairs of a summary of their expenses on a monthly basis. ◊ Do not submit the contracts or expenses directly to the Founda on. ◊ Expenses submi ed in this way are o en misplaced, or lost. ◊ This can slow down the process ge ng your reimbursement. All of us will benefit by having a be er record of the overall totals for our contribu on for CHOC. If you have ques ons, please contact Your Event Chair. Updated – May 31, 2013
Change for CHOC Home Tour
We have a new collec on of books and puz-zles, so make sure to come by and check them out. More books are needed especially books on tape. Be y brought in a nice collec-on of them and they went quickly. We are
also looking for fic on/nonfic on, cook-books, health, mo va on or any other type that might be of interest.
Our coin purses brought in a total of $28.70, books $28 for the total of $56.70. We did not have a floral arrangement this me.
Due to having our installa on luncheon at the Yorba Linda Country Club, we will not have either the books or coin purses at the mee ng. We will have them at the following mee ng, so save up your change and let’s fill up the purses.
Thank you,
Roxanne Sco , Change for CHOC Coordinator
Hello Angels!
The Home Tour Commi ee will be mee ng on June 13th, prior to the general mee ng/lunch at the Yorba Linda Golf Course. The deadline for informa on to be submi ed for the brochure is July 1st. Please consider buying an ad and/or being a patron for the event.
Also, we are looking for 2 home sponsors. This would give someone with a business a great opportunity by having their name in the brochure and have an area at the home to distribute their informa on and answer ques ons. In addi on, we are looking at doing some-thing different this year by placing some exo c cars on the driveways of the homes. I'm happy to report that we have secured Po ery Barn as one of our table decor vendors. We have been trying to secure them for sever-al years as our their vendor. Thanks to Denise Horst and her team for adding them as a vendor. They will join Villeroy & Boch and Crate & Barrel.
We are s ll looking for 2 parking volunteers to deter-mine where volunteers should be posi oned and be available the day of the tour to help if needed.
Please contact me if you have any ideas, comments, etc.
Thank you,
Camille Ki ridge Chair, 2013 Home Tour

Our website turned 5 this month! I calculate that we have had about 50,000 visitors to our site with peak visits in March and October when we have our Pursenally Yours and Home Tour/Gi Faire events. Not bad for an idea that was hatched at Marcia and John Griffin’s Family Room ta-ble!
The audience keeps growing and Facebook has created more links directly to our pages. We will be looking for more ways to create an electronic buzz in the coming year.
The most popular pages for our 7,000 visitors in the past 4 months were Make a Dona on and Be a Member with over 1,000 visitors (400 during Pursenally Yours event in March... I believe we have had over 50,000 visitors in the past 5 years!
The Board voted yesterday to con nue our subscrip on to the service and to con nue to own the rights to our URL (internet name). As my role changes with the Guild, Laurel Van Gilder will be taking over the lead role in upda ng the site, and I will be her backup.
Thank you from the www.li lestangelguild.org Team
