    Community shows its generosity to Salvation Army

    Mail Attachment-4
    (SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.)  – There were people holding hand-lettered cardboard signs at The Salvation Army recently, but the Sharpie scrawls did not read, “HOMELESS. ANYTHING HELPS!” A dozen people shared “before and after” signs at the non-profit’s annual luncheon, demonstrating how their individual lives had been transformed by The Salvation Army. One woman held a “drugs, gangs, jail “ sign which she put down and replaced with a sign that read, “ fulltime Mom & CNA !”(certified nursing assistant). The goal of the annual event is to let supporters know that lives are truly transformed by their donations. 
      
    The Annual Transforming Lives Luncheon was held on October 28, 2015 at the new San Bernardino Salvation Army, 2626 East Pacific Street and met its goal of raising $ 50,000 to provide MEALS for the hungry, SHELTER for the homeless, HOPE for the hopeless and REFUGE for children. 
      
    James Ramos, Chairperson of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors was the keynote speaker and Lieutenants Kelly and David Cain shared their individual stories of being addicts, turning to The Salvation Army for help and being completely changed. They each became Salvation Army soldiers, met at church, married and now give their lives to The Salvation Army as Corps Officers, serving in Moreno Valley. 
      
    “We are deeply grateful for this caring and giving community, and this luncheon is an opportunity to say thank you, and share individual stories of lives transformed,” says Major Daniel Henderson, administrator and pastor of The Salvation Army San Bernardino. 
      
    The Salvation Army has been in San Bernardino since 1887, and also serves Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland, Rialto, assisting more than 2,000 people each month with: 
      
    Meals and food for the homeless 
    Shelter and Safety for abused, homeless, and previously incarcerated neighbors 
    Housing and training for men recovering from substance abuse 
    After school care and summer camp for at-risk children 
    Scouting programs for children and teens 
    Church services and spiritual guidance 
    Emergency Services in times of disaster

    Karen Dicarlo Of Santa Claus, Inc. Wins Spirit Of The Entrepreneur Award

    DiCarlo credits Santa Claus’s win to the fact that helping children touches people’s hearts and the longevity of the organization. “I also credit the huge growth we have created over the last several years.”

    DiCarlo credits Santa Claus’s win to the fact that helping children touches people’s hearts and the longevity of the organization. “I also credit the huge growth we have created over the last several years.”

    (San Bernardino, CA) The Spirit of the Entrepreneur‘s Social Entrepreneur is Karen DiCarlo, executive director of Santa Claus, Inc. DiCarlo was presented with her award at the 13th annual awards presentation in front of an audience of 740 business and community leaders.

    “I am still so excited, I’m on cloud 9,” said DiCarlo. ”The competition was pretty tough in our category; I was completely overwhelmed and humbled to win.“

    DiCarlo credits Santa Claus’s win to the fact that helping children touches people’s hearts and the longevity of the organization. “I also credit the huge growth we have created over the last several years.”

    The annual black-tie gala event recognizes the leadership, innovation and business acumen of Inland Empire entrepreneurs. The event was held at the Riverside Convention Center to celebrate and honor Inland Empire entrepreneurs.

    “It was another great event,” said Dr. Mike Stull, founding organizer of the event and director of Cal State San Bernardino’s Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship. “The goal is to recognize the best, have fun and be inspired by the region’s top entrepreneurial success stories. I am still in awe of how many great entrepreneurs we have in this region”

    The evening’s festivities included networking, entertainment from Wonderworld Cirque and a troupe of mimes, at what is now being called “The Oscars of Local Business”.

    DiCarlo is very happy with Santa Claus, Inc.’s growth of service to children. “We served 18,000 children in 2012, and so far this year 72,000 children have been served by our year round projects.”

    Santa Claus, Ink’s growth is still happening. DiCarlo says they are headed towards serving 100,000 children this year. “We will serve 15,000 children or about 6,000 families this year during the Christmas season”, said DiCarlo.

    Year round children services provided by Santa Claus, Inc. include backpacks loaded with school supplies; Distribution of 27,000 pairs of Sketchers shoes to children in need; providing clothes, hats, shoes, coats and toys to needy children and the Birthday Bag program for children whose parents can’t afford to give them a birthday present.

    We are also happy to be partnered with the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in a project called All My Own. This mission gives children in foster care or who are all alone in the hospital who have nothing to call their own – clothes, coats, hats, toys blankets, a teddy bear, etc.

    “We are also working on a new service project with local law enforcement to get homeless families with children, single women and veterans off the streets and into hotel rooms. “The goal is for the family to stay in the hotel for a night or two while law enforcement connects them with social organizations that help them to get into more permanent housing and begin to put their lives back together”, said DiCarlo.
    Santa Claus, Inc.’s growth is credited by DiCarlo to a hard working group of volunteers.

    “Santa Claus, Inc.’s extraordinary volunteers really make the magic happen! With an army of 2,000 volunteers nationwide and a core group of over 50 working every week at the workshop, Santa Claus, Inc. pulls off the impossible! Without our invaluable volunteers Santa Claus, Inc. would not exist,” said DiCarlo.
    The nonprofits volunteer board of directors include; Board Chairman – Larry O’Nan, Kathleen Albrektson, Attorney at Law, Kendra Dockham, C.P.A., Jana Schweppe-Herrera, Executive Director, Villas at San Bernardino, Margie Miller – Owner and publisher, City News Group, Tony Lourenco, Psychiatric Social Worker, Don DiCarlo, Business Executive

    Local College Student Wins National American Advertising Federation Award

    Chris Lopez photo

    WINNING ARTIST—Christopher Lopez, a fashion design student at the Art Institute in San Bernardino holds the gold (ADDY) advertising award he won for his fashion illustrations in the Inland Empire competition earlier this year. On June 13, he won a silver ADDY at the national convention in Las Vegas, becoming the first fashion design student to ever win a national award at the American Advertising Federation competition. The artistic designs are from his award winning HAUS of Wonderland-A Fairy Tale Couture collection of fashion illustrations. Photos by Robert Swapp Photography.

    Christopher Lopez, a junior at the Art Institute wins a Silver ADDY, the first national award by a fashion design student from the Inland Empire
     
    (San Bernardino, CA) A local college student has made history for being the first fashion design student from the Inland Empire to ever win a Silver Award in national competition sponsored by the American Advertising Federation.
     
    Christopher Lopez, 28, of Moreno Valley won a Silver ADDY award in the student competition at the 2015 National American Advertising Federation Conference at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 13.
     
    Lopez is a third year student in the bachelor of arts program in fashion design at the Art Institute of California-Inland Empire campus in San Bernardino.
     
    His creation, HAUS of Wonderland—A c Tale Couture, earned the award for excellence in the Illustration Campaign category. To advance to the national level, Lopez needed to win at two levels of competition. He first won a gold ADDY in local Inland Empire competition, then a silver award at the district level earlier this year.
     
    The American Advertising Awards (formerly ADDY’s) recognize excellence in professional and student artistic work in a three-tier system, starting in the Inland Empire and advancing to district and national competition. Over 40,000 submissions are received for judging every year at the national level in a variety of categories.
     
    “This is a very prestigious award,” said Su Pak, president of the local chapter of the American Advertising Federation. “It’s the first time a fashion design student from the Inland Empire has advanced to win a silver award at the national level. This is a remarkable achievement and we are very proud of Chris!”
     
    As a student artist, Lopez has a passion for design. “I always like to tell a story with each of my pieces. I want my audience to get drawn into a wonderland-like state when exploring each piece with my designs, and great attention to detail, and that’s exactly what I delivered with this fashionably adventurous collection.”
     
    HAUS of Wonderland-A Fairy Tale Couture is a fashion illustration collection that Lopez says was inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and present day couture fashion.
     
    His collection features four highly stylized sketches that are designed for a couture runway show or costumes for a film, play or musical. “Each piece is based on four characters from the story, featuring the adventurous Alice, the elaborate yet villainous Queen of Hearts and trouble making duo, the Tweedle Twins, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.”
     
    After graduation from the Art Institute in 2016, Lopez wants be a costume designer for film, TV and the entertainment business. “I love telling stories and making them come to life with my designs. I love working with themes and concepts. I’m an artist at heart and my family says it’s in my blood.” At the Art Institute, career service advisors assist students with job placement as they near graduation.
     
    Lopez is from Los Angeles and grew up in Arcadia where he developed his artistic passion for fashion illustration in high school. Later, he chose the Art Institute in San Bernardino because it was closer to his new home in Moreno Valley and offered everything he wanted to reach his career goals.
     
    What’s his best advice for young aspiring artists? “Achieving this award truly made my Wonderland become a reality,” said Lopez. “Make your Wonderland become a reality by working hard and having true passion for your art and craft.”
