Sara Culang's DCWC Journey
Sara Culang and Diamond Club West Coast
Those two names are almost synonymous with each other. Every President, immediate and past, Executive, Board member as well as committee member, probably does not remember a time before Sara was on board.
Sara has been a big part of the growth of this club from double digit membership to almost 300 members now. From regular member, resident members as well as all the vendors to this club, Sara is the image and the face of DCWC.
Her friendly smiling face was the first thing you saw when you entered the club and just in case you were naughty not nice, you would get a firm but courteous earful.
From a key executive, to the synthetic diamond operator, and from filing reports to making calls for overdue checks, Sara has done it all and with a determination and spirit which went beyond the call of duty.
Her experience and motherly nature has helped groom many a committee and even helped in transiting from one president to another.
Times have changed and it is not easy to find a person who gives her heart and soul not just for a day or month or even for a year but for (30) years day in and day out.
We are blessed as a club and a community and wish her the best health, wealth, family life and happiness wherever the road ahead takes her.
Message From the Social Committee
It’s that time of year again when our social committee would be putting the final touches to the Diamond Clubs annual holiday party. Our enthusiastic team is disappointed that COVID 19 has forced us to change our plans this year, but we are hopeful that normality will soon return and we will once again entertain you all at our bumper event in 2021.
As a small gesture of appreciation we have prepared gift bags to let you know that we care and value YOU as a member. Bags will be distributed to you all within the next week.
Have a happy, healthy, and safe New year.

LAPD Central has created a unique opportunity for individuals and businesses. Like DCWC members, our local officers spend most of their day at work. Our LAPD friends want to renovate their gym to stay healthy and strong. LAPD will engrave your or your business name on a 3-tier plaque for every officer to see all year round for donation levels:
  • $250 for silver,
  • $500 for gold, and

Platinum donors will also receive a recognition plaque. LAPD is putting together a special package for a donor of $5,000.
This donation will give you a direct relationship with our local LAPD station with year round visibility. While there is a national movement to defund our police, this is an opportunity to support the officers that protect us every day.

7 Tips for Salespeople This Holiday Season
  • Smile (or, Smize): At a time when we are picking masks instead of holiday outfits, do not underestimate the power of smiling beneath your cloth protector. In fact, smiling has never been more important. Sans masks, you can use your entire face to project a smile. That usually, naturally includes your mouth, as you reveal those pearly whites to convey warmth. Here’s the deal, however: fake or inauthentic smiles are actually captured in your eyes. While wearing a mask, we cannot fake smiling. Our eyes will reveal whether it is real or not. Authentic smiling has never been more effective and more important.
  • Hand Gestures: With the suspension of handshaking   Read More

IDEX is First to Highlight Diamonds
