Submitted by the Laguna Beach Woman's Club:

The Woman’s Club of Laguna Beach has selected their 2013-2014 board that has adopted the motto: “Sisterhood, fun and service to the community.”

According to the president, Ellie Tipton Ortiz, “I am very excited about our new Board of Directors.  This will be a great year for the Woman’s Club.  We will all work together to bring sisterhood, fun and service to the community by maintaining our signature events and adding social gatherings that involve more members and, with the help of our members, identify areas of need in the community where the WCLB is able to play a pivotal role."

Founded in 1922, the Woman's Club was organized by a group of community minded women to benefit the residents of Laguna Beach through philanthropic activities. Today, with over 125 members, the Club aims to support and assist all women seeking empowerment, education and access to community resources.
