Excerpt from Dana Point Times

Attorney and Marine Corps Reserve Lt. Col. Richard Viczorek and property management business owners John Tomlinson and Joe Muller were the top three vote-getters out of nine-incumbent candidates vying for three openings on the council.

They will join Councilmen Carlos N. Olvera and Scott Schoeffel, who each have two years left on their terms.

The three open seats are being vacated by Mayor Lisa Bartlett, who was just elected to the Fifth District seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors; Councilman Bill Brough, who has been elected to the California Assembly 73rd District seat and Mayor Pro Tem Steven Weinberg, who is terming out.

We are proud to announce that we are producing the Official 2015 Dana Point City Visitors Map and we want to promote your business!

Len and Peggy Carey co-founded Hope 4 Kids in 1995, the same year they were married on the lawn at the Dana Point Resort. After years of working with groups where policies prohibited significant change in children and families, Len and Peggy decided to start an agency with a vision for a better world. They purposed to correct policies that limited their ability to affect real change, and to create programs more consistent with their vision. This vision included treating all clients, children, and staff with respect, better utilization of community resources designed to help children and families, developing programs that would minimize failed placements, and focusing on permanent rather than temporary solutions. With the help of some reputable community leaders, the engines revved and Len and Peggy sped off on a course to develop their foster care and adoption agency. In 2001 Hope 4 Kids became a licensed adoption agency and in 2013 Hope 4 Kids obtained their international adoption license in the state of Washington.

The best advice we ever recieved when we founded Hope 4 Kids was to talk to others who were successful at the same business, they gave the best advice that we still follow to this day.
