Saddleback Memorial Foundation and Saddleback Memorial’s Baby Alumni Club hosted the 14th annual Dizz’s As Is fundraising event in La-guna Beach on April 30. The intimate event raised approximately $10,000 (net) to benefit women and children’s services at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center.

Eleven physicians affiliated with Saddleback Memorial Women’s Hos-pital, along with Saddleback Memorial hospital administrator Hugo Folli, took the evening off from delivering babies to deliver dinner to attendees.

Obstetricians, pediatricians, and anesthesiologists tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, and delivered cocktails, entrees and desserts to approximate-ly 70 guests at the sold-out event.

After dinner Saddleback Memorial chief executive officer Steve Geidt once again took on his acclaimed role as auctioneer during the live auc-tion, often pitting physician against physician to encourage higher bids on items.

“It was all in good fun,” said Geidt. “Everyone was here for the same reason, to support moms and babies.”

Proceeds from the event and live auction help fund programs provided by the Baby Alumni Club such as free

infant CPR and safety classes, child-birth and parenting classes such as “Boot Camp for New Dads” and the “Mom’s on Bedrest” program featur-ing the Knitting Group – a group of volunteers who provide support to mothers on bedrest in the hospital by teaching them to knit.

The Pitz family, owners of Dizz’s

As Is restaurant and grateful patients, has been opening their doors for the event for the past 14 consecutive years.

“We are so grateful for the sup-port we receive – not only from our physicians – but from people in the community and grateful patients like the Pitz family,” said president of

Saddleback Memorial Foundation Cecilia Belew. “Many of our biggest supporters have delivered their ba-bies at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center so they often give back to our not-for-profit hospital. We appreciate them as much as they appreciate us.”

By Ashley BrillOn Mother’s Day we celebrate

some of the greatest people on the whole earth. Mothers know how to sacrifice for the good of those she loves, that usually means watching Gabba Gabba every morning instead of the news, or giving up the rest of your ice cream cone because some-one dropped theirs on the sidewalk. From day one moms have to sacrifice, as they must give up caffeine and cookie dough for the safety of the baby she is nurturing. Because we love our moms so much, it is time to take some time to reflect and find a present this year that is going to say, “I really appreciate all you did for me, thanks mom!”

So here is a compilation of differ-ent gifts that would make outstand-ing Mother’s Day gifts for the techy moms.

Moms these days are very busy running from work to daycare and then on to someone’s rehearsal or practice. One way to make mom’s life easier would be to get her a Bluetooth capable earpiece, which she could connect with her phone. Most moms have very little time to actually place those important phone calls that need to be made, or just call a friend to chat. When she does make a phone call it is most likely while she is still

doing other tasks so she is holding the phone with her shoulder, which never works well, and starts to hurt after a while. Getting mom a Bluetooth earpiece will mean that she can fold laundry comfortably and still stay in the loop with what is going on with

her friends.

Another great idea for mom if she doesn’t have one is an electronic picture frame. You can load different pictures on it for her for her as an added way to make it personal. A really creative idea would be to raid her photos and make a digital copy of some of her favorites and add them to the picture slideshow as well. What a delight mom will have being able to continually see all the pictures she loves right there in her living room without having to get out an dusty

old album.

Moms love pictures; everyone knows that after 9 months of wad-dling around they love to brag about their precious little children, even if they are taller than her. A picture keychain is a perfect gift for the mom who carries 47 pictures in her purse to share with anyone who mistakenly asks how are her children/grandchil-dren. Now moms can carry the same pictures around with her but in a

convenient little slideshow that may even have music for these grocery store productions.

Most moms would agree that the one thing they would love most is more time. So if there was anyway that you could give someone time it would be the hottest commodity on the market. Unfortunately that is not an op-tion, but giving her an automatic vacuum cleaner that goes around and scoops up the crumbs from

dinner, means mom doesn’t have to. These vacuums can be set to zip around at different intervals of the day or of the week, depending how dirty your house gets. Vacuuming is on of

the necessary evils when it comes to keeping a house clean, so if mom can simple program the vacuum to clean for her she will have in essence more time. You can watch the Jetson’s to

see how much Jane loves her auto-mated vacuum.

The last techy gift for moms this year is the portable scanner wand. This little gadget will mean never has to type out a recipe she found in a magazine or make copies of articles that she wants to read only to file them and never get back to them. With a portable scanner wand mom is now able to quickly scan a magazine or cookbook page and upload it to her computer or even her iPad to make dinners in a dash. Clutter is an enemy of many clean houses. Moms have a particularly hard time fighting the clutter monster as the kids draw the cutest pictures that moms just hate to throw away along with newspaper articles and magazine scraps. The scanner wand can finally help mom to

scan these same items and file them on her computer to have and cherish forever. These are just a few ideas for a perfect mothers day gift for the techy mom in your life.

DENTAL PATIENTS DRIVE TWO HOURS FROM VICTORVILLE TO SEE LADERA RANCH PAIN-FREE

DENTIST DR. MICHAEL TESSIERRecently, a mother called Dr. Michael Tessier’s of-fice to arrange an appointment for her fifteen-year-old daughter who is deathly afraid of shots in her mouth. Only one thing was unusual. They live in Victorville, about two hours away. But the long hot drive was certainly worth it to mom, if her daughter could have painless, shot-free dental work.“I visited Dr.Tessier several years ago before we moved to Victorville” said the child’s mother. “But when I took my fifteen year old daughter to a local

dentist out there, she screamed in pain and raised such a fuss and refused to ever go back. I thought she would change her mind, but she would not. Finally, I told her I knew of one dentist that was gentle and pain free but it was a long trip from Victorville to Ladera Ranch. At last she agreed to go”, she said.When they arrived for their appointment with Dr. Tessier, the young girl was crying, sobbing, and shaking, barely in control. Dr. Tessier said; “It took about thirty minutes for her mother and my staff to get her calmed down enough to get her dental work started”, he said, “Very soon using the Whisper Jet, a micro miniature sandblaster using 50 micron-size particles of aluminum oxide, and the Waterlase MD Laser, we got this young lady’s two fillings completed without anesthetic, and with no pain, because of today’s technol-ogy. The more I work with the laser and the sandblaster, filling teeth without the need for drilling and therefore anesthetic, the more I realize how much dentistry has changed over the last 30 years. When the drill and the car-bide burr were our only cutting options, we made it more likely that, in their later adulthood, these teeth would crack, ultimately needing crowns. Today, we’re leaving these teeth stronger. This stuff is great. So from now on, noth-ing will be difficult for her, except perhaps the ride from Victorville,” he said with a smile. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway. Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212

No one in the world can take the place of your mother. Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right.

She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones.~Harry Truman

Take a musical journey to the heart of Europe for Pacific Symphony’s final Café Ludwig concert of the season, “Czech Mate,” as the chamber series uncovers the colorful folk melodies of the Czech Republic. Anchoring the pro-gram is Dvorak’s highly revered Piano Quintet No. 2, a chamber masterpiece by one of the primary fathers of Czech nationalism. The concert opens with the heroic adventure and gifted narrative of Janacek’s “Pohádka” for cello and piano. Then, Martinu’s “Three Madri-gals” sparkles with French influence and a distinctive vigorous style as the themes for violin and viola entwine and chase one another. Piano sensation and host Orli Shaham leads principal Symphony musicians Raymond Kobler (concertmaster), Bridget Dolkas (violin), Robert Becker (viola) and Timothy Landauer (cello), in an afternoon per-formance taking place Sunday, May 13, at 3 p.m. in the intimate Samueli Theater (next to the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall).

Tickets are $59 and $75 and include coffee, tea and treats. For more infor-mation or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSym-phony.org. “Since we were dedicating each of the programs on this season’s Café Ludwig to a specific country, I was particularly excited to focus the last show on the Czech lands,” says Shaham. “There is much richness to the music from here, and this program provides a nice balance between well-known works and lesser-known ones.

“Dvorak’s Piano Quintet is perhaps one of the greatest masterpieces of the chamber repertoire, and a con-cert staple,” says Shaman. “It is an impassioned work, full of vivacity and life, and as always with the music of Dvorak, filled with the most beautiful folk melodies.”

Dvorak set the standard for combining Slavic folk music with classical tech-niques, and he further advo-cated the use of indigenous music in America in his well-known symphony, “From the New World.” His Piano Quintet No. 2 provides an appealing balance of inti-macy and grandeur, using Bohemian dance rhythms and melodies in a bright and energetic pace.

“It’s also a lovely way to end our season, as the quintet is one of the largest ensembles we present at Café Ludwig, and it’s a nice way to include as many of the wonderful musicians of Pacific Symphony as possible,” contin-ues Shaham. “I chose the Janacek ‘Po-hádka’ and the Martinu ‘Madrigals’ to go alongside this quintet because I wanted to highlight individual members of the string quartet. These works also explore some of the more intimate, more eso-teric, lesser-known examples of the use of Czech folk song in music.”

Janacek’s attraction to a great story is not only showcased in his nine operas, but also in one of his most popular works, “Pohádka,” based on “The Tale of the Tsar Berendyey,” which also provided the basis for Stravinsky’s bal-let “The Firebird.” The piece evokes a mythic atmosphere and the dramatic voice of a young prince who ventures into the underworld and fights his way back to win the hand of his sovereign’s daughter.

Martinu, on the other hand, was fascinated by English Renaissance songs called madrigals that were set to poetry. His work “Three Madrigals” was claimed by Virgil Thomson from

the New York Herald Tribune to be “a delight for musical fantasy, for ingenious figuration [and] for Renaissance-style evocation.” Dedicated to two young siblings, Lillian and Joseph Fuchs, who were distinguished soloists on the viola and violin, respectively, Martinu applied his own childhood training on violin to the piece.

Café Ludwig returns next season with three elegant afternoons of cham-ber music hosted by Shaham and fea-turing principal Symphony musicians. Stroll through the French countryside on Oct. 7 with music by Poulenc, Ravel and Chausson for “The French Connection.” On Jan. 20, 2013, “Woodwind Magic” features the unique personalities of the wind instruments in works by Prokofiev, Bruch, Stravinsky and Mozart. Then on April 28, 2013, discover “The Brilliance of Brahms” with three works by this favored Romantic composer.

By Jeanne GibsonWho Invented Mother ’s Day?

Most of us have a treasury of nice memories of our mothers. Even those of us who do not usually had some type mother figure in our lives who provided us with a safe haven, a comforting shoulder to cry on, and good advice when we needed to make a difficult decision. Perhaps a sister, aunt, grandmother, neighbor, or close friend.

It may surprise you to know that the woman who is responsible for Mother’s Day was never a mother, herself, but she was a daughter who loved her own mother dearly. Anna M. Jarvis was a school teacher who never married; the daughter of a Methodist minister. When her mother became ill, Miss Jarvis was her de-voted caretaker for 15 years, until the mother’s death in 1905.

After her loss, Miss Jarvis set out to find a permanent way to honor the memory of her mother, and came up with the idea of a special day to honor ALL mothers, not just her own. Unfortunately, the idea of a national day to honor mothers did not catch on easily. For several years, Miss Jarvis waged a letter-writing campaign and a barrage of letters from she and

her friends began to arrive at the homes of influential people, all the way up to the president, himself.

Miss Jarvis coined the name, “Moth-er’s Day,” and ob-tained a copyright for the name from the U.S. Patent Of-fice. Finally, after years of speeches and letter writing, her efforts paid off, and Mother’s Day became a national observance when President Woodrow Wilson signed it into effect in 1914.

Anna Jarvis lived another 34 years and was able to see her idea grow, not only across the United States, but also to spread to many other countries. She spent much of her time promoting the new holiday. Unfortu-nately, however, the day, like many other holidays, became so commer-cialized that Miss Jarvis had deep re-grets that she had been instrumental in bringing the day about. Much of Miss Jarvis’ remaining money was

spent in a fight to keep Mother’s Day from being promoted as nothing more than another occasion for people to buy expensive gifts, but she did not succeed.

When Anna Jarvis passed away in 1948, a wreath of 43 carnations, her mother’s favorite flower, adorned her grave, depicting the 43 countries that now celebrated Mother’s Day.

With Mother’s Day, 2012, almost upon us, why not remember the true meaning of the day and present your

Mother a gift of lasting value? (Not that mothers don’t appreciate flowers, perfume, and candy—I know—I’m a mother.) But how much more would a plant or tree, a special book donated to the local library in your mother’s name, a monetary gift to a struggling college student, or a food basket dropped off at her church mean? And how much more it would have meant to Anna Jarvis, who envisioned a day to honor all Mothers, not just another day to benefit shopkeepers.

mercy house nets more than $170K at eiGhth annual “livinG With

heart” GalaMercy House, one of Southern California’s premier advocates of the home-

less, netted more than $170,000 at its eighth annual fundraising gala, Living with Heart, held at the Fairmont, Newport Beach Hotel. The gala’s 280 guests participated in silent and live auctions that contributed more than $70,000 to the evening’s total proceeds, plus an additional $50,000 from the “Lift Your Hearts” direct donation campaign.

The tone of the evening was set with a champagne reception and silent auction in the Bambu Garden at the Fairmont. It was an exceptional spring evening and spirits were high. Guests were invited into the ballroom at 7:30 for dinner and the program. Founder and Chairman Father Jerome Karcher gave a blessing, and the evening started with excitement.

The program included video and stories about Mercy House programs, services and clients across Orange and San Bernardino Counties and the operation of the Armory Emergency Shelter Program for Orange County.

Following dinner, multi-instrumentalist virtuoso, dynamic vocalist Ellis Hall and Saxophonist/Singer/Songwriter Mindi Abair, who was just recently featured on American Idol with Phil Phillips, got the party started by rocking the house with their incredible musical talent. They also kicked off the live auction with priceless rare autographed Braille music sheets from the blind musician (Hall), and a backstage concert package from Abair. Sold twice, these packages brought in $12,000 for the organization.

Additional highlights of the live auction, led by Joel Burlingame of Stokes Auction Group, included a weeklong, five bedroom, “Paradise Retreat in the Mexican Pacific Riviera” which sold for $7,750; a “San Diego Chargers Owner’s Suite for Four” which sold for $6,500, a trip for two to Napa Valley; and a “Four Course Dinner Party for Four” with Orange County chef elite, Anahita Naderi for $2,750.

“This week marks my 22nd year with Mercy House,” said Executive Director Larry Haynes. “I want to extend my deepest thanks to my Board, staff, and our supporters who have made our amazing growth possible. What a great ride this has been! I especially want to acknowledge everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s event. It just gets better every year!”

Mercy House provides housing and comprehensive supportive services for a variety of homeless populations, including families, adult men and women, mothers and their children, persons living with HIV/AIDS, individuals overcoming substance addictions, and some who are physically and mentally disabled.

The agency assists residents in the areas of economic, emotional and spiritual wellbeing to enhance their self-esteem and sense of personal pride. With an emphasis on account-ability, integrity and self‐sufficiency, Mercy House believes that providing dignity and respect to each individual is the agency’s guiding principle.

The Wings of Freedom Tour of the WWII Vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Consolidated B-24 Liberator and North American P-51 Mustang Announce Unique Display at Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne - Orange County Airport from May 11 to May 13

In honor of our WWII Veterans ~ The Collings Foundation’s Wings of Freedom Tour Brings Extremely Rare Bomber and Fighter Aircraft for Local Living History Display as Part of 110-city Nationwide Tour

Part icipat ing in the Coll ings Foundation’s WINGS OF FREE-DOM TOUR, the Boeing B-17 Fly-ing Fortress “Nine O Nine” WWII Heavy Bomber, Consolidated B-24 Liberator “Witchcraft” WWII Heavy Bomber and P-51 Mustang, will fly into John Wayne - Orange County Airport in Santa Ana, CA at Lyon Air Museum for a visit from May 11 to May 13. This is a rare opportunity to visit, explore, and learn more about these unique and rare trea-sures of aviation history. The B-17 is one of only 10 in flying condition in the United States, the B-24J and Full Dual Control P-51C Mustang are the sole remaining examples of their type flying in the World. Visitors are invited to explore the aircraft inside and out - $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12 is requested for access to up-close viewing and tours through the inside of the aircraft and through Lyon Air Museum. Discounted rate of $9 for seniors and Veterans. Visitors may also experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually take a 30-minute flight aboard these rare aircraft. Flights on either the B-17 or B-24 are $425 per person. Get some “stick time” in the world’s greatest fighter! P-51 flights are $2,200 for a half hour and $3,200 for a full hour. For reservations and

information on flight experiences call 800-568-8924.

The WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR will be on display at John Wayne - Orange County Airport in Santa Ana, located at Lyon Air Museum, 19300 Ike Jones Road.

The WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR will arrive at John Wayne - Orange County Airport at 2:00 PM on May 11 and will be on display at Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne - Orange County Airport until the aircraft departs May 13 at 5:00 PM. Hours of ground tours and display are: 2:00 PM through 5:00 PM on Friday, May 11; 9:00 AM through 5:00 PM on Saturday, May 12; 9:00 AM through 5:00 PM on Sunday, May 13. The 30-minute flight ex-periences are normally scheduled before and after the ground tour times above.

The Collings Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit educational foun-dation devoted to organizing “living history” events that allows people to learn more about their heritage and history through direct participa-tion. The Nationwide WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR is in its 23rd year and visits an average of 110 cities in over 35 states annually. Since its start, tens of millions of people have seen the B-17, B-24 & P-51 display at locations everywhere. The WINGS OF FREEDOM tour is one of the most extraordinary and unique interactive traveling histori-cal displays of its kind.

The WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR travels the nation a flying tr ibute to the fl ight crews who flew them, the ground crews who maintained them, the workers who built them, the soldiers, sailors and airmen they helped protect; and the citizens and families that share the freedom that they helped preserve. The B-17 & B-24 were the backbone

of the American effort during the war from 1942 to 1945 and were famous for their ability to sustain damage and still accomplish the mission. Despite the risks of anti-aircraft fire, attacking enemy fighters, and the harrowing environment of sub-zero temperatures, many B-17s and B-24s safely brought their crews home. The P-51 Mustang was af-fectionately known as the bombers “Little Friend” – saving countless crews from attacking axis fighters. After the war, many aircraft were scrapped for their raw aluminum to rebuild a nation in post-war pros-

perity and therefore very few were spared. The rarity of the B-17, B-24 & P-51 - and their importance to telling the story of WWII is why the Collings Foundation continues to fly and display the aircraft nationwide. At each location we encourage local veterans and their families to visit and share their experiences and stories with the public. For aviation enthusiasts, the tour provides op-portunity for the museum to come to the visitor and not the other way around! Visitors can find out more by visiting our website at www.collingsfoundation.org.

May 11, 2012

By Amy BrantleyMother’s Day is a wonderful day to

treat your wife to breakfast in bed. After all, your wife helped you bring beauti-ful children into this world. Don’t you think she deserves to be treated like a queen, at least one day out of the year? Besides, the hardest part of creating breakfast in bed is getting out of bed before she does. The rest is a piece of cake; you just have to be prepared.

Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed: Preparation

Preparing a wonderful breakfast in bed involves more than just making a delicious meal. A week before Mother’s Day I suggest going out a buying a card for your wife. If you wait until the last minute, you will not have a good selection of cards to choose from. Find a card that explains how much you love her and how lucky you are to have her because she is the perfect mother. Also, to make it special, write a note in the card.

The day before Mother’s Day, go and find a nice bouquet of flowers. Tulips are a wonderful spring flower and if your wife enjoys gardening, you could buy her potted tulips that she could plant

in the yard. Of course, you will need to hide these flowers until you surprise her with breakfast in bed. To do so, I sug-gest placing them in a place where she would never look, like in the tool shed. Make sure the flowers have enough water so that they will be beautiful the next morning. On this day you will also need to pick up the ingredients for the breakfast in bed menu you will be pre-paring. These can either be hidden at a neighbor’s house or behind ingredients she would never touch.

The night before Mother’s Day, pre-pare as much of the food as possible. This will help to ensure that you get the meal finished before she wakes up. You will need to do this preparation after she’s gone to bed or while she’s in shower.

Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed: Sample Menu

This is just a sample menu. You can prepare anything you are comfortable with making. The truth is your wife would be happy if you surprised her with fast food on Mother’s Day. The fact that you went out of your way to prepare her breakfast in bed is enough.

F r e s h Squeezed Or-ange Juice

CoffeeSausage or

BaconBanana and

Walnut Stuffed French Toast

Fresh FruitP r e p a r i n g

fresh squeezed orange juice is really easy. You don’t need a fancy juicer to do this, but you will need a lot of oranges. Before serving this to your wife, pour some into another glass and make sure it’s sweet enough. If it isn’t, slowly add more sugar until it becomes sweet enough. Now, I real-ize that the stuffed French toast may sound intimidating, but it’s actually re-ally easy. To prepare this dish, you will need to cut thick slices of French bread and then make a pocket in the bread. Mix together slices of banana, brown

sugar, and chopped walnuts, then stuff this mixture into the bread slices. Then dip the French toast in a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar. Fry the French toast in a little butter and then top with powdered sugar. Be sure to remember maple syrup when you give your wife breakfast in bed.

Your wife will really appreciate this gift on Mother’s Day!

mother’s Day BreaKFast in BeD the perFect mother’s Day present For your WiFe

By Bryan GoldenYour mother tried to teach you

some valuable lessons. Moms have a unique ability to impart essential wisdom. Unfortunately, most of us were too young to really appreciate their value. Mother’s Day is a great time to review the following advice you got when you were a kid.

You can be whatever you want to be.

You have no limitations. The whole world is open to you. Your future is ahead of you. You can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. It’s ok to dream.

Be nice to your friends and they will be nice to you.

People respond to the way you treat them. If you are mean and selfish, no one will want to play with you. Share your toys and don’t be a bully. Be considerate of the feelings of others.

Do your homework and you will get good grades.

Success takes work. If you don’t put in the effort, you won’t reap the rewards. Those who work hard will succeed.

Clean your room now.Get things done today and you

won’t have to worry about them. If you let things pile up, it will be difficult

to catch up.You can play once your chores are

done.Get your work done before you take

a break. Then you can relax and have a good time.

Stay in school.If you don’t get an education, your

opportunities will be limited. Don’t drop out of school. The more you

learn, the more you benefit.Sticks and stones will break your

bones but names will never hurt you.It doesn’t matter what other people

say. Don’t allow others to upset you. There will always be mean people. Don’t pay attention to them.

Don’t waste your time.Time goes by very fast. Don’t wait

to pursue your dreams.

Be thankful for what you have.There are many who are not as

fortunate as you. Be grateful for your home and family. It doesn’t matter what someone else has.

Don’t complain.Whining is annoying. If you have

something to say, say it. If you com-plain all the time, no one will want to listen to you.

When your primary care physician tells you that you need to see a specialist, most patients assume their doc-tor will refer them to a quality physician. After all, any-one who is going to treat you should be board-certifi ed, well versed in the latest techniques and have an impres-sive record of successes with other patients; right? Well it may come as a surprise that the referral system doesn’t actually work that way. Most people assume their primary care doctor has a rolodex of top notch spe-cialists to pass along as needed. In today’s fast paced world, primary care physicians simply don’t have the time to go out, research and meet with other specialists.With specialists operating margins falling over the past decade and health care reforms putting pressure on their bottom line, quality specialists have a need to do a better job educating referring doctors and patients about their expertise. That’s where 2 local residents, Gary Calvaneso and Sandra McElwee who met through Saddleback Church, decided there was an opportunity to work with quality specialists and educate referring primary care physi-cians about their skills. In early 2011, they formed a re-ferral marketing company called The Referral Special-ists (www.TheReferralSpecialists.com).

The Referral Specialists provide practice representatives and referral marketing services to specialty physicians. Practice representatives are experienced healthcare professionals who call on primary care physicians and complementary specialists to educate them about their specialist client’s expertise. Since starting their business, their specialty physician clients have experienced positive gains as a direct re-sult of their services. Typically these specialists triple or quadruple the number of referring physicians who refer to them and increase their bottom line. In fact, the Refer-ral Specialists business caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money magazine where they were mentioned by name.“Our business connects quality specialists with PCP’s (Primary Care Physicians) through referral marketing, said Gary Calvaneso, Managing Partner. Educating the medical community not only benefi ts everyone in the medical market but also produces jobs which is some-thing that our community really needs”.Aside from achieving positive results for their clients, what makes The Referral Specialists unique is their ded-ication to helping those that are unemployed and need help. For Calvaneso, it is something he takes to heart.

Gary Calvaneso, Mary Baker, Sandra McElwee, Miriam Kang, Linda Matulis

Nearly every Monday for the past 6 years, Calvaneso has been a volunteer at Saddleback Church in Lake For-est, listening to and coaching unemployed people with a smile and an offer of hope. “For our practice reps, we only consider candidates that are unemployed” said Calvaneso. “We are not interested in recruiting people that already have a job and an in-come. We prefer to support those that do not. It is our way of giving back to the community by helping those in need which is a principle of our faith.”“You would be surprised at the high level of unemployed talent there is out there” said Sandra McElwee, Manag-ing Partner. “One of our practice reps is a senior woman with over 25 years of pharmaceutical sales experience calling on physicians’ offi ces. She was out of work for over 2 years before joining up with us and has done a great job for our clients”.Not only do the Referral Specialists focus on work-ing with unemployed candidates, but they also do the same for suppliers. “We wanted to apply our faith based principles of helping those in need to all aspects of our business, said Calvaneso”. “Even the caterer we use is trying to generate income through a home based busi-ness. What employers need to understand is that being unemployed has nothing to do with talent or quality. We carefully screen our suppliers, looking for skill and qual-ity fi rst. The doctors all rave about her food and she now gets additional business from them”. “We have a stay-at-home mom who makes some of the best toffee you’ll ever taste, right out of her home kitch-en. Here again, our clients rave about her toffee and have provided her additional business” said Calvaneso.For his volunteerism in supporting people in transition in 2011, Calvaneso received the Orange County Spirit of Volunteerism Award as part of the leadership team managing Saddlebacks Career Coaching and Counseling program. If you are a physician with a specialty medical practice and are interested in a free consultation to learn more about how The Referral Specialists can help increase re-ferrals from other physicians, visit their website at www.TheReferralSpecialists.com , call them 949-433-1702 or e-mail them at [email protected].

Relaxation, it’s not really a word you associate with mothers, is it? It’s time that we change that. This year give your mother a gift that will allow her to relax.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #1: Massage Gift Certificate

Mother’s Day is a time for moms to be treated like royalty. One way you can make sure your mother gets treated like royalty is to send her to a spa to get a massage. This is a gift she will love, especially after a hard week of work.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #2: Sleep Mask

Sleeping in is a treat that mother’s very rarely get to enjoy. Even when she does get to sleep in, her sleep is usually disrupted by the sun. A wonderful way to avoid this dilemma is to buy her a sleep mask. Then she will be able to sleep in and get that well deserved rest.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #3: Neck Pillow

Laying down for a quick nap is a wonderful way to relax, but grabbing

a quick nap on the couch isn’t always comfortable. That’s why this relax-ation gift is perfect for your mom. Now it doesn’t matter where she grabs that quick nap as long as she has this gift nearby.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #4: Scented Candles

Relaxation is appealing to all the senses, even the sense of smell. I highly suggest getting aromatherapy candles that claim to have relaxing or stress relieving scents. Your mother will love this gift. Even when she’s folding laundry, she can be relaxing.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #5: Relaxing CD

A CD that has classical music on it is very relaxing, but a CD that has the sounds of waterfalls, birds, etc is relaxing as well. These CDs are wonderful to play, in the background, while grabbing that quick nap.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #6: Foot Spa

This gift is relaxation at it’s finest. Your mother will love getting this gift on Mother’s Day. She can sit and watch TV or even read a book while getting a wonderful foot massage.

You could even include lotion and foot scrub so that she can have a mini pedicure at home.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #7: Coupons for Free Dinners

If you live nearby, this makes a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. There may be days when your mother doesn’t feel like cooking. When this happens she could call you up and redeem her coupon. If you give these coupons, I highly suggest you have some easy recipes handy so that you can quickly cook up a fast and delicious meal.

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #8: Coupons for Free Cleaning

I suggest you live nearby before giving this gift on Mother’s Day. The only reason I say this is because if you live far away, and are only home on holidays, you may be stuck with cleaning up after the holidays, which can be horrible. Of course, you should help out at the holidays, but doing it all yourself is just too much. She will love having these coupons around when she’s not feeling to well.

Mother’s Day will soon be here. Ev-eryone wants to do something special for their mother - after all, who is more important than good ol’ Mom? Here are twenty ideas on ways to say Happy Mother’s Day to your mother on that special day. There is sure to be some-thing here that will please her. To all the mothers out there: Happy Mother’s Day.

Flowering plant. Flowers are a lovely gift, but at best they wind up lasting a week. But if you buy your mother a flowering plant, it will last through the spring and it will re-bloom next spring, which is a lovely gift. There are so many different types of flowering plants, check your local nursery.

DVD. If Mom has a favorite television show, chances are she has been too busy to keep up with all of the latest episodes. It would be a really nice gift to get her the latest season of her favorite television show on DVD so she can catch up with her favorite television show at her convenience. Or perhaps some funny movies or romantic comedy movies - whatever appeals to your Mom.

Manicure/pedicure. A wonderful treat is to buy your Mom a gift certificate to get a manicure and pedicure. There are so many salons around. This is the type of thing that many women enjoy, but they just never get around to doing for themselves. A manicure and pedicure usually only takes an hour, so this is a

convenient type of treat for most women.Facial or spa treatment. To really in-

dulge your Mom, consider getting her a gift certificate for a facial or other type of spa treatment. There are so many differ-ent types of spa treatments to consider. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to let her select which treatment she would like to have.

Gift basket of treats. If Mom is a real chocoholic, then a basket of chocolate goodies might be a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. Or if Mom loves murder myster-ies, then a basket of murder mysteries could be a great gift. There are so many different types of baskets you can do. Get creative and have fun with it!

Exercise gear. Everyone thinks it is important to get and stay in shape these days, and that includes Moms. Your Mom may do yoga, or walking or another type of gentle exercise - then again your Mom could be a marathon runner (go Mom!). Find Mom some great exercise gear or exercise DVDs that she will enjoy.

Museum membership. This is a nice gift for lots of different people. A museum membership is a wonderful thing to have especially if you are someone that entertains a lot of out of town guests. A Mom who is artsy or into culture would especially appreciate this gift.

Fruit of the month club. These days the fruit of the month club isn’t just oranges or pears, there are many dif-

ferent types of fruits. They also have smaller portions available for smaller households who may not be able to eat an entire large box of fruit. This is a lovely gift.

Jewelry. What’s that old say-ing? Oh yes, the nicest things come in the smallest packages. That could very well be true. Jewelry is a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day.

Clothing. This is a great gift for a fashion conscious Mom. You could also consider getting Mom a gift card so she could go shopping for what she would like.

Musical card. If you haven’t seen these, they are really cute and this will probably make your Mom laugh. There are now cards that have music in them. They come out at all of the holidays now, look in any major card section or drug store.

Candle. A scented candle, especially one scented with natural essential oils is a very nice gift. Many people like to use scented candles to add ambiance to their homes.

CDs. This can be a really nice gift. Many Moms like music and may not have gotten around to buying all of the CDs for music they like, they may still be listening to tape cassettes. Sometimes older people delay catching up with modern technology.

Magazine subscription. This is a gift that will come all year round. There are so many types of magazines out there, you could get your Mom a subscription for a hobby, an activity or perhaps an interest in travel.

Book. A great gift for your Mom is buying her one of the latest New York Times best sellers. You could consider getting her the book on audiotape so she can listen to it while she walks or does a machine at the gym.

Gift certificate to take a class. Many Moms would welcome the gift of learn-ing. Why not give your Mom the gift of a crafts class, or a class to learn how to finally write that novel? There are so many choices.

Perfume. This is a very classic Moth-er’s Day gift. But that’s because it is a favorite of many. Find your Mother’s favorite scent and buy her a bottle, or se-lect something new for her. She’ll love it!
