Welcome to the Christmas Company® 2015!
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire
membership of the Junior League of Orange
County, California, Inc. (JLOCC), we welcome you
to “40 Years Bright”, The Christmas Company! Celebrating its 40th year, we are so very pleased that
you have chosen to spend your time with us at
this treasured and long-standing Orange County
event. In addition to the fabulous shopping, the
weekend is filled with special events for adults
and children alike, all created through the vision
and execution of our amazing Steering Team and
committee members, led by Nadia Bess. I am
awestruck by what these women accomplished
and am so very grateful for their dedication to
our League, our Mission, and our community.
The funds raised from this unique event support
the Junior League’s Mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective
action and leadership of trained volunteers. The 600+ members of the JLOCC share a vision of a community in which the healthy, safety, and education of all individuals are promoted and supported. To
accomplish this, the JLOCC trains its members to be leaders in the community, while partnering with
various community organizations. Our legacy of strong supporters, important community collaborations, dedicated members and over $7 million dollars raised since JLOCC’s inception has helped shape
the Orange County landscape for 60 years; the JLOCC is celebrating its diamond jubilee!
Contributions help provide funding for the JLOCC’s current charity partners, fund our scholarship
program for local students seeking college degrees, provide volunteer training workshops and materials, and fund the day-to-day operations of the League. By shopping and participating in the special
events at the 2015 The Christmas Company, you will be supporting a variety of the JLOCC’s projects
including:
• The JLOCC Signature Project, Orangewood Children’s Foundation, The Academy
• Orangewood Children’s Foundation: Bear Hugs and Bear Necessities Program
• Human Trafficking Awareness and Education Campaign
• Blind Children’s Learning Center
• Grandma’s House of Hope
• Junior League Juniors
• Impact Orange County
• Kids in the Kitchen
Additionally, 15% of every dollar spent on goods purchased from our exhibitors goes back to the
JLOCC. The Christmas Company would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors,
contributors, shoppers, and special event attendees. It is because of you that the JLOCC can continue
to be a catalyst of lasting change in our community. Thank you for your support and participation. We
wish each of you a joyous holiday season and an incredible year ahead.
Warmly,
Carla Dillon

LETTER FROM THE CHRISTMAS COMPANY® CHAIR
Welcome to the 40th Annual The Christmas Company® “40 Years Bright”
We are thrilled to have you join us as The Junior League
of Orange County, California, Inc. (JLOCC) celebrates “40
Years Bright” at this year’s 40th annual The Christmas
Company®. The Christmas Company® has been an iconic
destination for friends and family to gather socially, shop
from the carefully selected unique vendors, attend one of
our fabulous special events, and celebrate the beginning
of the holiday season!
This year, The Christmas Company® begins with the 40th
Anniversary Fashion Show & Grand Opening Celebration Presented by Trina Turk, which will honor our many
community partners over the years, on Friday, November
6th. On Saturday, November 7th, the day will kick off with
Mistletoe and Mimosas, a fun celebration with beauty
vendors, champagne cocktails, and stroller-free shopping! After a full day of shopping, Saturday will close with
Bottles, Barrels, and Bites, a gourmet evening full of tastes
from local restaurants, wineries, and breweries. On Sunday, November 8th, the fun continues at Milk and
Cookies with Santa, where you and the children in your life can decorate gingerbread houses and enjoy
story time with Santa. Don’t forget to take advantage of our North Pole photo shoots with Santa on
Saturday and Sunday to get your holiday photos done early!
In addition to our special events, the JLOCC has had the profound honor of welcoming a dynamic group
of exhibitors who were carefully selected for their unique goods and gifts available for the holidays.
Their dedication to the JLOCC continues to inspire us as they are the foundation of The Christmas
Company®. Please visit each of these wonderful exhibitors as 15% of all goods sold are contributed back
to the JLOCC.
We are consistently blown away by the passion and skills of the volunteers and JLOCC staff members
that work together to produce our show every year. This team of dedicated and talented women have
been working together tirelessly to orchestrate this amazing show. There are not enough words of
gratitude to express my deep appreciation for their devotion and contributions to produce such a
fantastic event. Our 2015 Christmas Company Steering Team includes Christina Markl, Anne Marie Rye,
Cori Vernam, Mikaela Bauer, Kendall Craver, Ashley Trowbridge, Mackenzie Crigger, Sheila Witt, Allison
Renard, Alicia Clark, Yvette Patko, and Luciana Laszewski. I would also like to thank Mary Ann Del Fante
and Kim Christiansen whose efforts, guidance and support embody the mission of the JLOCC.
The Christmas Company® would not be possible without the generosity of our contributors, exhibitors
and amazing support throughout the Orange County community. It is because of you that the JLOCC
can continue to enrich the lives of women and children in need throughout Orange County. In addition,
this event would not be successful without the participation of each JLOCC member. Thank you to each
of you for your commitment to the tradition of coming together as a League to support the ongoing
fundraising efforts of The Christmas Company®. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of this holiday
season, may we all remember to keep the spirit of giving in our hearts. It is with great honor and excitement that I welcome you to The Christmas Company® 2015 “40 Years Bright”.
Cheers to the past 40 Years Bright,

2015 – 2016 COMMUNITY PROJECTS
THE ORANGEWOOD ACADEMY
Over 300 teens emancipate yearly, and many lack the support system to
help them finish high school and plan their future. To ease the transition
into independent living, the Bear Hugs and Bear Necessities program
provides emancipated teens with a duffel bag full of essentials. In addition,
the Bear Hugs and Bear Necessities program supports the Orangewood
Resource Center (ORC) through their Independent Living Program (ILP) and the Rising Tide Community
Program to provide support services focusing onemployment, education, health, and housing.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Due in large part to the resort industry and transportation infrastructure, Orange
County has become a hub of human trafficking in California. Foster children are
particularly vulnerable to human traffickers since they often lack a stable home
life and support system. The JLOCC holds a vision to combat the perils of human
trafficking by networking and collaborating with organizations that share the
same vision in the Orange County community. Together we will educate and
bring awareness to change public perception on what human trafficking is via
trainings, rallies, and community events that include victims, law enforcement, data/statistics, and policy
development.
THE SAMUELI ACADEMY
The Junior League of Orange County, California, Inc. (JLOCC) is proud to support The
Samueli Academy, the Orangewood Children’s Foundation’s college-preparatory
public charter high school. The Samueli Academy’s mission is to provide a
transformational learning environment to underserved teens and will serve as
both a home and educational facility for foster and at-risk youth. JLOCC members
will have many hands-on volunteer opportunities on the Academy campus. We
have been involved with facilitating their monthly Community Nights, as well as
various events throughout the school year. We look forward to creating new and
exciting programs that will broaden each member’s training experience and most
importantly, positively impact the lives of each student.
GRANDMA’S HOUSE OF HOPE
Grandma’s House of Hope’s mission is to empower the invisible populations
of Orange County. They are an Orange County-based nonprofit providing
basic needs and enrichment services to women, children, and families living
in extreme poverty and facing seemingly insurmountable barriers, including
human trafficking, domestic violence, life-threatening illnesses, and severe
mental health concerns.

2015 – 2016 COMMUNITY PROJECTS
BLIND CHILDREN'S LEARNING CENTER
The Blind Children’s Learning Center (“BCLC”) provides early intervention,
education and services for blind, visually impaired or deafblind children
and their families to empower independence. The JLOCC has embarked
on a multifaceted partnership with BCLC to increase the impact of
current services while creating new ones. We have bolstered their sports
programs and developed music opportunities. The JLOCC is also developing a parent support group to
include educational programs in an emotionally supportive environment.
JUNIOR LEAGUE JUNIORS
Junior League Juniors, is an entirely Junior League of Orange County, CA
program, which will create a community of compassionate children. Junior
League Juniors are taught the values of philanthropy and volunteerism through
engaging events, which develop the compassion that will continue to transform
communities. This program also gives parents meaningful opportunities to
model philanthropic ideals to their children.
KIDS IN THE KITCHEN
Kids in the Kitchen is a Junior League program targeting youth to address
the urgent issues that contribute to childhood obesity and poor nutrition.
We hold multiple events each year with interactive, hands-on activities
designed to teach children the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Students learn about healthy meal preparation, nutrition tips, ageappropriate exercise, and recipes for tasty snacks and meals.
IMPACT OC
Impact Orange County (OC) allows our league to respond
to immediate needs in the community by researching and
implementing up to four “done-in-a-day” projects per month. The
focused events fall with our focus areas of improving the health,
safety, and education of all individuals in Orange County. Most recently, our league has teamed with
Crittenton Services for Children and Families, Child Creativity Lab, and Down Syndrome Foundation for
Impact OC events.
Shopping The Christmas Company 2015 enables us to support the community! 15% of all sales from shopping
purchases will go directly back to support the JLOCC mission and our community projects.
