SAN CLEMENTE HISTORY IN ARCHITECTURE
The proposed development at 115
N. El Camino Real is 220 feet long

door is the 29 feet tall Historic City

All dimensions are the same scale.
The San Clemente Historical Society
is concerned that the mass of the new
development could overwhelm and

A CHOCOLATE AND WINE PAIRING EVENT AT THE
ORANGE COUNTY CENTER CLUB
The Cocoa Family Foundation presents an
evening of chocolate and wine at The Center Club
in Orange County on Friday, February 10th. Many
varieties of cocoa will be paired with wine: starting
with cocoa beans and roasted nibs, then moving
to pre-tempered and ready to eat dark and milk
chocolate.
The proceeds from the event will benefit cocoa
farmers and education them in becoming sustain-
able, improving their livelihoods, assisting with the
Organic and Fair-Trade certification process and
helping address the worst forms of child labor in
the cocoa growing communities. “When a prod-
uct is titled Organic, it may not be, unless there
is traceability and transparency for the source,”
states communications director Fior Garcia. “We
help companies set in place an independent and
credible system of farm monitoring, certification and
verification for their suppliers.”
“While guests experience cocoa in all it’s various
forms – cocoa beans, fermented cocoa nibs, pre-
tempered and post tempered chocolate, they will
also support our efforts to stop the worst forms of
forced child labor and help to create sustainable
farming practices in the cocoa community,” says
Mrs. Garcia.
The event will take place on Friday, February
10th, 2012 6PM – 9:30PM at The Center Club in
Orange County - 650 Town Center Dr., Costa Mesa,
CA 92626. Price: $15 Early registration, $25 at the
door. To RSVP, call 800-707-1534 or visit www.

INAUGURAL GALA FOR NEGU
NETS $100K FOR LITTLE Austin Gatus plays a duet with John Tesh
GIRL’S DREAM
The St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa was the setting for the first
annual “NEGU” Gala where over 500 attendees enjoyed a fabulous dinner,
an exciting silent auction, a very competitive live auction and then a stun-
ning performance by two time Grammy nominee John Tesh. “NEGU” is the
acronym for Never Ever Give Up, the motto for young Jessie Rees, a caring
12 year old girl who was fighting two inoperable brain tumors. Jessie’s wish
was to deliver the NEGU message to every kid fighting cancer in the United
States so they can stay strong and never ever give up. The NEGU Founda-
tion is all about “encourage-care” for patients and their parents so no one Ron and Toni Andrews Artist Tom Clark with his LIVE mural
stands alone.
The evening was stellar; the grand ballroom was set with colors of blue and
white with exquisite table displays and décor, even the guests were dressed
to impress. The VIP reception had guests enjoying passed hors d’oeuvres
and adult libations while perusing the silent auction items. Opportunity tickets
were also for sale for items to win that were favorites of young Jessie.
Along with the party atmosphere, Artist Tom Clark gave a LIVE performance
creating a mural with the NEGU logo that was quite impressive. But those
that were there came to support the NEGU Foundation, the Rees family and
of course to hear John Tesh. Opening the show was The Tony Guerrero
Quintet playing sounds of classic jazz. Tesh took the stage with his current
touring big band and sang songs such as “I’ve got the World On A String”,
“Blue Skies”, “L-O-V-E” and other Great American Song Book classics. This
was more than just a concert as guests were drawn to the dance floor and
were able to dance while enjoying the smooth sounds of the soulful crooner.
A special surprise for Austin Gatus (a Leukemia survivor); he performed the Courageous Kids honoree Cade Spinello (center) poses with his parents
NEGU theme song he wrote especially for Jessie and played a duet with Tesh.
Chairing the event was Eric Reese, Jessie’s father. The committee consist-
ed of Rick Brotherton, Donna Tomlinson, Toni Andrews, Michelle Danley, Gina
Crofts, Laura Reagan, Stacey Woodhart, Bonnie Taylor, Shawn O’Connell,
and Rob Vetter who worked tirelessly to put this gala together.
Ronnie Andrews from Clarient welcomed everyone and thanked those who
have supported NEGU as well as those sponsors who gave of their time and
money. Clarient, UPS, Brotherton Communications, Grover Family Founda-
tion, Hard Hatt Construction, Tuttle Click, Signet Media Group, Marriott Hotels
& Resorts, MFS Investment Management, SGL and the St. Regis Resort and
Spa were just a few who helped make the evening happen.
George Willis, President of Operations for UPS in North America spoke
about their involvement and why they got involved with NEGU. Two special
presentations were made, one for the Courageous Kids Awards and the other
for the Compassionate Kids Awards. The three who received the Courageous
Kids medals, Austin Gatus, Isabella Nordrum, and Cade Spinello received
their medals for their fight against cancer. The Compassionate Kids Medal
went to Mandy Barnes, Jenny Formica, and Hannah Gammon for their efforts
helping kids fight cancer. The Rees family - little brother “JT”, older sister Ahaya, and Dad Eric pose
After dinner, the LIVE auction began. Bidders were strong especially when with Compassionate Kids Honorees Mandy Barnes, Jenny Formica, and
it came to some of the items that were up for grabs; a St. Regis dinner and Hannah Gammon
wine tasting for 10 people; 4 tickets to the American Idol Season Finale with
a limo and dinner at Eva Longoria’s restaurant “Beso”; St. Regis Presidential giving kids the courage and determination to Never Ever Give Up. Proceeds
Suite and Spa package for two; a Labrador retriever Puppy; NCAA Final Four support The NEGU Foundation™ and the quest to make Jessie Rees’ wish
tickets; Hawaii vacation at the Aloha Marriott Wailea Beach Resort and Spa of encouraging every child fighting cancer to never ever give up a reality.
and a Magical Disney Experience at Disneyland Resort with about $40,000 This simple little thought has become “Jessie’s Wish“. For more information,
