Happy end of Fall 23.

I hope you had an amazing semester!

It seems every year we get a little further behind getting ready for Christmas. Although, this year, we did do much better. We actually began getting ready for Christmas before Thanksgiving! We usually wait until after Thanksgiving, but so many stores were full of Christmas trees and decorations, we couldn't help but join in their festive spirit. I sure am glad we did .. I feel we are better prepared this year than last.

We wanted to share some photos from the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. There seems to be so many more boats this year, they were absolutely beautiful. Also, we were awed by a synchronized drone light show. It was amazing how they lit up the sky and changed their colorful displays. Many of us had never seen that before so that was a special treat. Oh, and the weather was perfect. Many part-time faculty were in attendance and four lucky winners received beautiful, one of a kind hand-crafted special wreaths ... see photos below. Lastly, thanks to OCC Catering, the food was amazingly de-li-cious!!

If you missed it this year, I hope you can join us next year.

As we leave our busy school days behind and enter beautiful holiday season, I want to send you a special "thank you" for being part of our Coast family.
