Hi, I'm Dale Joyner. What's my story? There are many ways to describe myself: father, husband, son, world traveler, retired CPA and proud member of ChaiVillageLA. The year I graduated college, my wife Barbara and I embarked on a four-month European adventure. To date we have visited some 60 countries. I'm also a movie buff with a quest to see almost every Academy Award nominated film. I'm at 3,300 and counting!

Welcome to Our New Administrative Assistant
|
Originally from Torrance, after high school, I decided to develop my life skills by volunteering in Israel for one year. I taught English, helped in an Alzheimer's senior center and worked on a local farm. As my passion and interest for religion grew, I decided to get my degree in Religious Studies at Concordia University in Montreal. Now graduated, I am eager to join ChaiVillageLA and apply the skills I have acquired. I look forward to getting to know everyone in the village!

ChaiVillageLA members had a fabulous time touring the museum, grounds and amphitheater of the Hollywood Bowl. They heard the LA Phil rehearse and capped off their visit with a fun picnic lunch.
