n observance of April’s Employee Appreciation Month,
the Calabasas Chamber has created a special Luncheon
on Friday, April 25th from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.
at the Calabasas Country Club located
at 4515 Park Entrada in Calabasas.
The luncheon is entitled, the Golden
Lasso Employee Appreciation Day
Luncheon, and will be an inspirational
afternoon featuring special guest
speaker Stephanie Edwards.
Stephanie is perhaps most familiar to us for her 27 years as co-host
with Bob Eubanks on the International Broadcast of the Tournament
of Roses Parade each January 1st. For
many years, she was the corporate
media spokesperson for Lucky Food
Stephanie Edwards
Stores in the western states but most
of her work for over 30 years has been as a media commentator.
She was the first broadcaster to sit in the chair now occupied by
Diane Sawyer on “Good Morning America.”
Presently, Stephanie makes about 50 appearances a year as a
speaker and M.C. here and around the country; often spends
weekends leading retreats for church groups, and is an active
member of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in nearby
West Hills.
To attend the April Luncheon, please RSVP to Cheryl in
the Chamber office at 818.222.5680, or send an e-mail to
info@calabasaschamber.com and invest $30 as a member or
$35 as a non-member (and remember, no-shows will be
charged).

Chairman’s Message
By Doug Ridley,

quarter of 2008 is behind us! When I sat down to write

ing thought. Hopefully, you can look at the first three months of
2008 with pride and a sense of accomplishment. But if that
thought fills you with a little bit of pause, it is not too late to take
some significant steps forward in 2008. Take a good look at your
business plan for 2008, or at least your New Year’s resolutions.
Have you taken steps yet towards realizing these goals?
Whatever your plan for 2008, the Chamber of Commerce is here to help you. As I promised
at my installation, we will be here to help you with whatever your business needs. We want to
be the first thing you think of when you face any challenge or obstacle in your business.
As I look back at our Chamber’s success so far in 2008, I am very pleased. We have started sales of the Calabasas Business Directory. Our Wine Tasting & Silent Auction committee is
meeting monthly, preparing for this great event in June. We have had productive meetings with
the city planning your Pumpkin Festival for this year. Your board of directors is forming a
fundraising committee to help support the daily operations of your Chamber of Commerce.
And our Installation Dinner was a fun, formal, exciting evening and a huge success.
Most importantly, we have stayed on point with our mission: to enhance and support our
members’ business success. We hear time and time again how our Chamber is different: we
actually focus on getting members referrals. We focus on YOU, our members, to develop programs and activities to meet your needs.
How are we doing? If you have an idea on something the Chamber can be doing to help
you succeed, please let us know. Are you getting the support you need? Are we enhancing your
business success? As we come into second quarter of 2008, we want to make sure we are
exceeding your expectations. We’ll be seeing you soon!

The Committee met on March 3rd to discuss the following issues: Cynthia Scott, on behalf of
Supervisor Yaroslavsky, reported that the U.S. Census Bureau has decided to keep the Valley as a separate Statistical District after considering the deletion of such status. The Supervisor has fought to
ensure the District is kept separate. She also discussed the recent reports that, because of Budget
considerations, various health clinics operated by the County would be closed down; Cynthia said a
reevaluation is underway to see if there were some method by which the clinics could be kept open.
Finally, Cynthia discussed the ballot problems that occurred in the February primary for the
Democrats. She said that steps were underway to ensure there would be no similar ballot problems
in the June primary.
Jeff Reinhardt, for the Water District, reported that the District is supportive of legislation
introduced by Assembly Member Brownley which would, if enacted, permit the pass through of cost
increases over which the District has no control. If the Metropolitan Water District were to increase
its rates to our local District, our local District would be able to pass through those rates without having to go through the presently-required round of extended approvals.
Tom Bartlett, for the City Planning Department, reported on a number of issues – the City
Council has passed a resolution to enable the City to begin annexation proceedings of the Mont
Calabasas area; The Council is also beginning hearings on a Planning Commission recommendation
favorable to the construction of a 70,000 square foot shopping center at Lost Hills Road and Agoura
Road; The Civic Center project is on schedule, and the planned move for City hall to the Civic Center
is this July; and by April, the City’s General Plan Advisory Committee will have a draft revision to
the General Plan ready for circulation.
The Committee also discussed the impact on Calabasas of implementing Senate Bill 1818
(requiring that developers of affordable housing receive density bonuses irrespective of the original
density zoning created by the City) and of complying with the “regional housing needs assessment”
requirements being imposed by the State. Under the latter regulation, Calabasas must plan for 521
new housing units by 2014, 223 of which must be “affordable” housing units (20 units/acre).
Finally, Dr. Jeremy Eisenstein discussed with the Committee several pieces of legislation of
concern to chiropractors in this State.
The next meeting of the EGAC Committee is on April 7th at noon, Fins Creekside restaurant in
Old Town Calabasas. Please join us!

Member Spotlight
Judith Fine-Sarchielli, Sarchielli & Associates
Judith Fine-Sarchielli, owner of
Sarchielli & Associates, Creative
Career Moves, is a job development
specialist who uses her background in
creative thinking to address the problems of the mature worker in today’s
work place. The job market today
labels anyone over age forty as a
senior, so many Baby Boomers, due to
downsizing and early retirement, will
transition from a position they might
have held for more than 20 years, to a
passion they may have only considered briefly as a twenty-yearold. As a job development specialist, Judith gives her clients a
kick-start to get them focused on a totally new career path, or a
different aspect of the same career. She motivates and inspires
people from all fields of life, and has had careers in the worlds of
international business, food, health, fashion, education, publishing, and nonprofits. After her clients have found their career
goalposts, Judith coaches them on the latest approaches to
resume writing techniques, interviewing skills, how to utilize the
most effective job search engines and web sites, and where to find
the hidden job market.
Judith lived in Europe for over twenty years, is a writer and
editor, and garnered her own transitional skills over 30 years as
an entrepreneur and teacher. She also speaks on communication
issues and the generation gap, and ageism in today’s work place.
Judith is Speaker Chair for the Greater Los Angeles Professionals,
and Experience Unlimited, a job association of senior professionals in transition, which offers its services to employers and
employees at no cost.
