Thankful AS NOVEMBER ROLLS AROUND, WE’RE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE APPROACH OF THANKSGIVING, THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND TIME SPENT WITH OUR LOVED ONES. The winding down of the year always brings about a time of reflection for us— remembering everything we’ve done or accomplished in months past; looking back on turkey disaster stories, mornings watching the Thanksgiving Day parade or afternoons spent curled up on the couch after one too many pieces of pie; thinking of the people, experiences and things we’ve been blessed with in the last year. As we press pause on the hustle and bustle of life putting together a monthly magazine, we’re able to look back on the past year and, most meaningfully, the stories from all of you that have made what we do possible. We also take this chance to think of those less fortunate and encourage you to take the opportunity this giving season to donate to local organizations or charities giving back locally. We hope that as you read this issue, you—like us—find inspiration in the lives and experiences of your neighbors and the connections that have been made. Happy Thanksgiving, La Jolla!

LA JOLLA COMMUNITY LEADERS LA JOLLA IS KNOWN AS “JEWEL OF THE SEA.” Not only does La Jolla offer a beautiful coastline, it is also home to several beautiful gems whose mission is to give back to the community. These individuals work hard with passion and determination to make La Jolla and the world a better place. La Jolla Lifestyle spoke to three local, unique and inspiring women about the ways they are making a difference: Stephanie Coolidge of La Jolla Veterinary Hospital and director of Paws and Pints; Colleen Royal, board member of the La Jolla Elementary Fundraising Foundation and the La Jolla Open Aire Market; and Michelle Ciccarelli Lerach, a lawyer, entrepreneur and activist.

HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH WHAT YOU DO? I became involved with the La Jolla Elementary School Foundation thanks to a few special and inspiring friends who encouraged me to join the foundation which raises money to fund additional teachers, enrichment programs, educational materials and campus improvements not funded by the San Diego Unified School District. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
COLLEEN ROYAL
LA JOLLA OPEN AIRE M A R K E T O P E R AT I O N S & MARKETING
Our school’s largest fundraiser, the La Jolla Open Aire Market, celebrates its 20-year anniversary. I’m inspired by our hard-working farmers and by our customers who support them, rain or shine. I’m inspired by our LJES principal, Donna Tripi, for her support of our market and her tireless effort in making our school one of the very best and by our market founder, Sherry Ahern. Without Sherry, there simply would not be a successful farmers market in our neighborhood. We are so fortunate to be able to enjoy such an amazing market each and every Sunday! WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING THING ABOUT GIVING BACK? We have so many parent volunteers at La Jolla Elementary. The moment you step onto our campus, you can feel how very special it is, and it is incredibly rewarding for us all to see the results of everyone’s hard work and support. Each and every child can thrive and succeed in a happy environment. I cannot think of anything that is more rewarding as a parent! CONTINUED >

LA JOLLA COMMUNITY
(CON TI N U ED)
Stephanie Coolidge
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH WHAT YOU DO? While working at La Jolla Veterinary Hospital I met Peggy Howell, the founder of FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters.) With her encouragement, I started fostering and volunteering for the 20-year-old La Jolla-based rescue group. She changed my life. I never imagined myself in the animal industry as I was working at the veterinary hospital through culinary school. Meeting her at the right time changed everything. Over breakfast at Harry’s Coffee Shop, I made a promise to Peggy; we would keep FOCAS in La Jolla. The Rancho Coastal Humane Society was taking over the administration of the La Jolla-based program, and she was worried the community would lose their beloved and local animal-rescue resource. I became obsessed with doing as much as I possibly could to keep FOCAS in La Jolla as the transition took place. The idea of a La Jolla fundraiser for FOCAS was born, and after our fifth year, we have raised more than $100,000 for the animals and always in honor of Peggy, who passed away in 2011. I am now on the board for other rescue groups in San Diego County and on the advisory committee for the FACE Foundation. WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Animal-rescue volunteers and all of the individuals who have selflessly supported us, especially over the last five years at Paws and Pints La Jolla. This community is more gracious and giving than one can ever put into words. La Jollans love animals and they ever cease to amaze me. The local businesses, members of the La Jolla community, and of course our clients at La Jolla Veterinary Hospital who work right alongside us during Paws and Pints La Jolla every year. As much as I love animals, humans are still the most inspiring species to me. I think that’s why we’ve been so successful. For all the love we have for the innocent and beautiful creatures that dogs and cats are, they don’t pay their own medical bills or walk themselves through the door of a humane society or veterinary hospital. Humans do. People that are in it for no glory, recognition or any mutual benefits. Just for the genuine love of animals. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING THING YOU DO? Watching Paws and Pints La Jolla grow has been mind-blowing. From a small fundraiser in 2014 with only about 200 attendees to becoming La Jolla’s largest animal fundraiser is still surreal to me. More and more animals will be saved, and La Jolla now has a new generation of animal-welfare philanthropists. A more humbling reward is being able to keep our promise to Peggy. We still march in the La Jolla Parade, flying the FOCAS flag as she did for more than 20 years with her children and grandchildren. We get to show all of the La Jollans who supported FOCAS for more than 30 years that their work was not in vain. The effects of their hard work and dedication to maintaining an animal-rescue group founded by La Jollans is now a legacy that has no end in sight. We also host smaller events throughout the year, and we have absolutely kept our promise to Peggy. That still gets me choked up a bit. It’s amazing what one person can do. 18

Giving Back FIVE THINGS LA JOLLA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT LIV KYLE IS THANKFUL FOR AND WAYS SHE GIVES BACK ARTICLE NATALIE NEECE
LJES STUDENT LIV KYLE IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED CHILD; SHE WAS ABLE TO LEARN THINGS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE – COMPLEX MATH, ADVANCED CHESS, CHINESE. While she has a very gifted “left brain,” art is her true passion. This was amplified around the time she survived cancer at age 7—which included a 12-hour surgery to remove a large tumor and kidney and 6 months of weekly chemo—and realized she could help kids like her financially, emotionally and spiritually through art. The scope of her brain is only exceeded by the size of her heart.
THINGS LIV IS THANKFUL FOR: Her physical health, the doctors at Rady’s Children Hospital, where she lives, La Jolla, her friends and family, her pets, her strong mind and school La Jolla Elementary and happiness. WAYS LIV GIVES BACK: Teaching kids about art, raising/donating money through art sales, raising/donating money through Liv’s Liquidation Sale (lemonade stand), giving food and money to people in need in the community (homeless).
