2
love to receive both cards and visitors. Gail is at Lake Forest Nursing Home at 2565 Old

Co-Chair Sandy said Henry Segerstrom, who passed away on February 20, 2015 at 91,
was Orange County’s Man of the Century because of the impact he had on Orange
County. Dianne Howe said that on Saturday, February 28, 2015, Fairhaven Mausoleum
will have an open visitation from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The family will have a private

will send a card to his wife, Elizabeth.
Both Co-Chairs Sandy and Marjorie love visiting the chapters and will come at their
invitations.
Recording Secretary: Susan Kinkade.
Susan asked if there were any additions or corrections to the January 22, 2015, minutes.
There being none, Carol Hunter moved, and it was seconded, that we accept the minutes
as presented. The motion carried. Susan asked the board members to please remember
to sign in and submit their reports the day before the meeting.
First Vice-Chairman Membership: Shari Cipolla.
Please see Addendum A. Shari reported on the New Member Tour held February 10.
New members from nine chapters attended. There were a total of 42 new members plus
8 chapter chairmen with a total of 50 attending. Shari is working on a new membership
form which will be presented later this year.
Second Vice Chairman Ways & Means: Sandy Hovanesian.
All chapters need to communicate with the board regarding fundraisers and bank
statements. Send notices of chapter activities and newsletters to the Chairmen.
Marilyn McCorkle moved that the board approve the WM-ls. The motion was seconded,
voted on and carried.
Ways and Means Chair Sandy likes the new proposed W1-A because it is simplified. She
will present it to the Board of Directors at the March meeting and plans to use it for two
years to see how members respond.
She also said that if chapters don’t turn in their WM-1s for fundraisers, we can’t put their
fundraisers on the calendar, nor can we advertise their events. We need to know what
each chapter is doing so we can help promote the event.

Third Vice Co-Chairmen Special Events: Amy Larson and Mary Shebell.
We are pleased to announce members of our Spring Fundraiser, Night of Discovery
Honorary Committee. They are Sally Crockett, Kathy Fleming, Marilyn McCorkle and
4
Carol Wilken. These ladies have joined as event underwriters and are helping to fill
tables and spread the word about the event.
Underwriting invitations for A Night of Discovery on April 24, 2015, were mailed
several weeks ago. Sandy B., Marjorie, Mary, and Amy are following up with phone calls
to everyone who was invited to join as an underwriter. This support is crucial in
offsetting event costs. Invitations are almost ready to go to print and will be mailed the
week of March 9.
Co-Chair Mary brought a beautiful cosmetic kit as one of the silent auction gifts. Other
silent auction items include a wine tasting from Carmen Dragon with a knowledgeable
wine taster. Mary thanked all underwriters who are supporting A Night of Discovery.
There will be a raffle again this year, and we have three outstanding raffle prizes:
18K white gold ball and diamond earrings and a Tahitian pearl ring, compliments
of Lugano Diamonds.
One-Year Membership in the Center Room and Donor Lounge.
$1,000 Shopping Spree and One-Year Complimentary Valet Service at South
Coast Plaza Shopping Center.
Carol Hunter and Loretta Freund are doing a great job acquiring silent auction items.
They are in need of beauty items, golf and resort stays, and children’s items to appeal to
grandparents and families. We have a letter and Silent Auction Donor Forms on hand to
use when soliciting an auction item. Carol said many of the silent auction items focus
more on experiences and many fun activities a little out of the box.
We anticipate a great turnout this year and are planning on 250-300 attending. It is
essential to our success that all The Guilds’ members help us spread the word about A
Night of Discovery to all your Chapter members, friends and family.
If you wish to put together a Chapter table for 10, please ask your chapter members to
complete the invitation RSVP card, indicate they will be seated at your Chapter table, and
mail their checks for $135 to your Chapter Treasurer. Your chapter treasurer can mail
one check for $1,350 with all guest names. We’re all looking forward to a fun, beautiful,
delicious and successful evening!
Millie Robbins asked Co-Chair Mary if she could publish easy directions to get to the
Fairmont. Directions will be sent to all Chapter Chairs to help members find the hotel
easily.
Co-Chairs Amy and Mary have negotiated a special hotel rate at the Fairmont for $129
for the night of the event. Valet parking will be $10.
Corresponding Secretary: Barbara (B.J.) Van Alstine.
5
B.J. announced that lunch after the meeting would be at Onotria Restaurant. 16 board
members are planning to have lunch after the meeting.
Co-Treasurers: Marilyn McCorkle and Carol Hunter.
See report handout. Marilyn reported that right now not much was going on with the
treasury although they are picking up underwriting money, and offered to answer any
questions anyone may have. She said she needed all $300 donations from each chapter,
and there were a number who have not yet paid. Next month she’ll publish the chapters
who are delinquent.
Public Relations Chairman: Diana Hardy.
Press releases and calendar listings have been prepared for A Night of Discovery and
Tropical Paradise, as well as a press release for announcement of this year’s recipient of
the “Inspiration Award,” Gail Daniels. All have been submitted to Tim Dunn for
potential inclusion in local media. In addition, they have been submitted to Karen Drum
for inclusion in March and April’s “Playbill.”
Included with this report is an organizational chart for The Guilds. Please see Addendum
B. Some members are using the words “guild and chapter” interchangeably. As you can
see from the chart, The Guilds is comprised of 7 geographic area guilds, and each guild
has 2-4 chapters in it. These chapters such as Carmen, Crescendo, Stage Door, etc. are
the entities that we (approximately 1000 members) are members of. Together, our
chapters are part of specific geographic area guilds and finally, these individual guilds
make up The Guilds in its entirety. Please make a special effort to use this nomenclature
when referring to The Guilds and individual chapters.
A reminder to all chapters – all marketing materials that will be circulated outside the
membership of your chapter should be reviewed by me and/or Tim Dunn, Director of
Public Relations, Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Do not leave it until the last minute;
allow time to make any changes requested.
Parliamentarian: Gail Daniels.
Absent
Center Liaison: Dianne Howe.
There are several Guilds Nights offers available:
Guys and Dolls for Tuesday, April 14 (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday, April 19 (1 p.m.) –
deadline to order is March 6.
Motown the Musical for Wednesday, June 24 (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday, June 28
(6:30 p.m.) – deadline to order is May 8.

6
Offers to watch for:
Annie for May 20 and 23
Eifman Ballet for June 6.
The Sleeping Beauty ballet which plays March 3-8 has lavish costumes designed by
Richard Hudson, who designed the sets for the Lion King. The costumes were sent from
New York by truck, but the sets were shipped by boat. Because of the dock strike in
Long Beach, there was tremendous concern whether the sets would be available in time
for the production. Fortunately there were unloaded a few days ago and are available for
the production.
Area Guild Reports: Co-Chair Marjorie said that two Area Guilds would give their
reports today: Huntington Harbour Guild with Carol Kirkwood, and Laguna Area Guild
with Barbara Biniasz Gladden, Betty Batenburg and Sandy Hovanesian who will
personally give their chapter reports.
HUNTINGTON HARBOUR GUILD – Carol Kirkwood.
Flying Dutchman: Chairman – Carol Kirkwood.
The February event for Flying Dutchman was a Valentine’s luncheon/meeting held at the
Mile Square Park Clubhouse in Fountain Valley. A delicious buffet lunch was served,
and we were entertained by the talented Surf City Singers. We were honored to have
Guilds’ Co-Chair Marjorie Gorum and her husband Larry join us in the festivities! This
was the chapter event where we also held our annual White Elephant Sale. The event
was well supported with donations and purchases by our members. We cleared more
than $500 on the sale.
LAGUNA AREA GUILD – Millie Robbins.
Debussy: Chairman - Sandy Hovanesian.
Debussy’s annual Super Bowl Party was a fun gathering of friends sharing good food,
games and a little football.
On March 12, members and guests will have a docent-led tour of three new exhibits at
the Laguna Art Museum, followed by lunch at Las Brisas.
We are putting together a glass blowing workshop in April with one-on-one guidance
from two or three glass artists. The class size is limited, but if there is space available,
we will open it to other Guilds members. Become an artist for a day!
Mozart: Chairman – Barbara Biniasz Gladden. Report read by Millie Robbins.
Chapter members are busy pulling together our major fundraiser of the year, a fashion show and
luncheon on March 11. It will be held at the El Niguel Country Club and all are invited. Six of
our members will model the clothing, so we will see all sizes, instead of slinky professionals.
7
There are some great Silent Auction donations and several valuable baskets in our Chinese Auction.
If you would like to join us and support our efforts, please call Bev Germain 949-499-5910.
I had the pleasure of attending the Richard Rodgers Valentine Dinner-Dance and what a special
event it was. Put it on your calendar for next year.
From the Wings – Chairman: Betty Batenburg.
The February 18 New Members reception at Nancy Field’s house was great success!
Three of our 5 new members were present and most of the Board members. After
introductions the new members shared information about themselves, as did the board
members. As always, the Board came with plenty of delicious appetizers and wines, and
all had a good time!
The Ways and Means committee is busy putting the final details together on our March
17 Fashion Show/Luncheon Fundraiser at Cedar Creek Inn in San Juan Capistrano. Cost
is $45.00 per person! Fashions are by Chico’s and Chico’s offers a 10% discount to all
Wings shoppers that day. The good news is that Chico’s is only a few doors away from
the Inn.
A bus trip to The Getty Museum on Mulholland drive is planned for April 29. We will be
spending the day visiting several of the exhibits and the beautiful spring gardens, and
having lunch on our own. Cost is $50.00 per person.
CENTRAL COUNTY AREA GUILD – Barbara Benson.
Crescendo – Chairman: Sharon Algeo.
Crescendo Chapter will have their final program in the 2014-2015 Celebrity Series on
March 12. Eric Marchese will entertain us with his ragtime piano music. After the
program we will reveal the series for next year. We are asking all members to bring a list
of prospective members to this program. A list will be drawn and the winner will receive
a Waterford crystal bowl donated by one of our members. We will vote on the slate of
officers as presented by the Nominating Committee.
Alla Gitana - Chairman: Cathy O’Connell.
Alla Gitana members were treated to a wonderful Valentine week luncheon at the Red O
Restaurant in Fashion Island. The innovative menu and the beautiful, lit-fireplace patio
added to our fun. We were so honored that Co-Chair Marjorie attended the luncheon. She
spoke to us about the wonderful things that the Center does for the children in Orange
County. She also got us very excited about the upcoming party in April, and we presented
her with our check for $300. Alla Gitana definitely wants to get a table together for the
fundraiser. We will see you there!

NEWPORT HARBOR AREA GUILD – Kay Fukunaga.
Cabaret Chapter – Co-Chairmen: Terry Thacker & Marlys Haberman.
As part of as membership drive, the Cabaret Chapter has launched a social media project
on the meetup.com website. Our first social event advertised was on February 12 at the
Newport Beach Tennis Club. This will be an on-going recruitment project for the chapter.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, members of the Cabaret Chapter enjoyed a delicious
three course dinner and dancing on February 13 at the Villa Nova in Laguna Niguel.
The CP Restaurant, Newport Beach, was the location for the Cabaret Chapter’s Annual
Academy Awards Party on Sunday evening, February 22. Dinner and prizes were part of
the event.
The monthly Happy Hour and General Meeting for the chapter was held at the Newport
Beach Tennis Club on February 25.
Camelot Chapter – Co-Chairmen: Debra Adams & Kay Fukunaga.
Camelot Chapter was planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a Newport Harbor Duffy
boat tour and lunch during the week of February 16, however the chapter lost a great
member and friend on January 27, a few weeks before this planned event. We are all
saddened with the loss, and gathered for a “Celebration of Life” instead, on Feb. 19 at
Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club.
South Pacific Chapter – Chairman: Helen Timpe.
No Report.
Performing Arts Juniors Chapter – Chairman: Michela Engle.
I met with members of The Guilds’ Board of Directors on Wednesday (Sandy Bass,
Marjorie Gorum and Marilyn McCorkle) to discuss what we can do to keep the chapter
alive and to get it to thrive.
We came up with a few ideas, and I sent an email to the ladies at PAJ with our thoughts
and questions:
1. Instead of trying to open up new chapters of PAJ at different schools (which we would
love to do in the future), we were thinking what if we expanded your chapter to include
different schools. For example, maybe we would get students from Huntington Beach,
Laguna Beach High Schools and/or OCSA to join. Would this be something that could
be manageable for your program at this time? Maybe we could start up in September so
we would have time for recruitment. Since my son goes to Huntington Beach, I could
talk with the school and see if there is an interest. I really do believe that there will be
one. I would especially try to get some freshman students and parents interested so they
9
could be trained to take over after the older students leave.
2. I was also thinking that we need some kind of hook to get students interested in
joining the PAJ Chapter. Kids always think....what is in it for me? (I know going to see
shows is a good one.) Does PAJ have access to Guilds Night discounts? If not we could
potentially add that.
Also, maybe we could open it up also to kids that love Dance, and maybe let them have
access to dress rehearsals. I also think having different schools will allow the kids to meet
other kids that have their same interests at heart.
3. I also know that there is a scholarship available for one or two students per year. That
also is a nice bonus. FYI, I have been contacted by the foundation that it is time to start
the application process. The scholarship this year is about $666. Do we round this
up? What have you done in the past?
4. Another hook for the kids to get them to want to join is if they could get community
service hours. Community service always looks great on a college application. There
was some discussion about having the kids help out at "Movie Mondays."
NORTH CENTRAL AREA GUILD – Nancy Tutor.
Arturo Toscanini - Chairmen: Marilyn McCorkle.
On February 5 our chapter had a lovely luncheon and BUNCO day at the home of
Chairman Marilyn McCorkle. Twenty-two members and guests were present. We were
pleased to welcome Guild’s Co-Chair Marjorie Gorum to roll those dice, but I don’t think
Lady Luck was on her side. The day was full of fun, but the weatherman did not co-
operate as there were clouds and fog throughout the day. Our next luncheon will be in
April.
Arthur Fiedler – Chairman: Angela Friedman.
February is the time for our chapter’s annual mini fundraising duplicate bridge game and
luncheon at Yorba Linda Country Club. We chose Presidents Day so more members
could come, but of course some had prior commitments. We had a fantastic luncheon,
and thirty members and guests enjoyed the lovely atmosphere and a great game. Event
chairmen Joanne Thompson and Marsha Cook did a bang up job. Doris Muschek
donated jewelry and shopping at Nordstrom for our raffle. Next month we look forward
to helping youngsters enjoy their time at the theater.
SOUTH COUNTY AREA GUILD – Karen Fullerton.
Beverly Sills – Chairmen: Judy Kelley.
10
We are currently very busy working on our fashion show event “Beyond the Sea” to be
held on March 7, at the Pacific Club in Newport Beach. Members are sharing their many
talents and our event is coming together perfectly. We currently have 151 reservations.
Our fashions will be provided by Chico’s, Piajeh and Matilda Jane Clothing for children.
We are looking forward to having many Guilds’ members enjoy the day.
On February 17, we had an “Afternoon of Singing and Sweets” event at my home in Coto
de Caza. It was an afternoon event. Coffee, wine and iced tea, cookies and chocolates were
served. Our entertainment was Clarissa Lecce, renowned opera singer and winner of the
2004 and 2006 “Tomorrow’s Stars at the Center.” She was accompanied on the piano by
her mother, Christine Lecce. It was a wonderful performance of beautiful love songs in
honor of Valentine’s Day. They lingered until the end of our business meeting and we all
enjoyed talking to them.
Irving Berlin – Co-Chairmen: Joanne Gates and Beverly Stavro.
Our February 3 business luncheon was held at The Vintage Restaurant in San Juan
Capistrano. We were so honored to have Dianne Howe, Director of Support Groups at the
Center, speak on the art of ballet, its history with so much wonderful information on
melding of the dance with the music and much, much more. Dianne is so knowledgeable
on this art and was extremely interesting in her explanations. Irving Berlin wishes to
express their thanks to her for taking time from her busy schedule to delight us with her
expertise.
Placido Domingo – Chairman: Ilana Richmond.
On February 11, 15 members and friends of Placido Domingo Chapter went to the taping
of Wheel of Fortune. Adrian Nicolary was able to get us V.I.P. tickets, and we were given
tee shirts, baseball caps and bags. We had a group photo taken. It became a mini fundraiser
as we charged $10.00 per person to attend. We were delighted to have Co-Chair Sandy
Bass as our guest and for her to be able to be acquainted with our members.
Richard Rodgers – Co-Chairmen: Isabel Messinger & Adele Sarkissian.
This month we hit the high point of Richard Rodgers’ activities with our major fund raiser
– our Valentine’s Dinner Dance, held this year at the San Juan Hills Golf Club on February
13. We were honored to have Co-Chair Marjorie Gorum and Barbara Biniasz Gladden and
their husbands among our many guests. It was a Friday the 13, but it proved to be a lucky
charm! Thanks to the great team effort of all our members, the event was a huge success
and, to quote Marjorie, "a fabulous party." With delectable food, fine music, great dancers,
and wonderful prizes, we raised almost $3,000 for the Center.
On March 4, all eyes will be on the runway as Chico’s presents a fashion show for us at
the Café Mozart in San Juan Capistrano. Six of our own ladies will model clothes from
Chico’s spring catalog, and we will all enjoy a discount on our purchases. Our
11
Nominations Committee will also present a preliminary slate of officers for the 2015-16
Season, in preparation for the election in April.
WEST COUNTY AREA GUILD – Margaret Ann Vincent.
Carmen: Co-Chairs, Jackie Olstad and Michela Engle.
We have had a fantastic February. We made almost $500 at our Chico Fashion Show
fundraiser. Then we went off to Tommy Bahama’s for lunch. We were honored to have
Co-Chair Sandy Bass speak to us about our exciting upcoming The Guilds’ A Night of
Discovery. We are now working on our Western Area Guild fundraiser on April 7, called
Tropical Paradise.
Center Stage – Chairman: Margaret Ann Vincent.
A “Nibbles and Wine Party” was held at the home of Barbara Sullivan. Our guests had
an enjoyable time, tasting several hors d’oeuvres and wines. Center Stage is planning to
attend the Neil Diamond Salute at the Concert Under the Stars, Saturday, August 8.
Tickets need to be purchased now as it is selling out fast. If interested talk to Louise
Costa. Center Stage is joining the West Area Guild in preparing the M. S. Duck Club to
transport you to a Caribbean Island with music, food and dancing on April 7, 2015.
Please join us in this fun adventure.
Stage Door - Co-Chairmen: Delphi and Bob Ballinger.
Stage Door Members gathered at the Lumberyard in Laguna Beach for dinner before
going to see Hershey Felder as “Irving Berlin” at the Laguna Playhouse. We are busy in
our cooperative effort with the West Area Guilds in preparing a Tropical Paradise
evening at the Duck Club on April 7. Everyone is invited.

as well as being easy to use.

which you can edit as needed. By clicking on My Membership, you will also see what
support groups you are part of.
Don't forget to send in your fundraising flyers so they can be posted on The Guilds
