Mother’s Day Tea On Thursday, May 11th Toberman hosted a Mother’s Day Tea for mothers and

their children to join us for cookies, tea, and bonding time together. Pastor Lisa

of the United Methodist Church in San Pedro provided the refreshments for our

guests. Children were able to decorate a teapot picture frame and take a polaroid

picture with their mom to give as a gift. Musical Miracles donated the craft

supplies. Mothers also received a purse donated by Adia as a token of

appreciation. Thank you to all those that attended and helped to make this night

a success.

Toberman Academy

ITEP Summer Interns

Congratulations to the Toberman Academy After School program for being the recipients of

the 8th Annual Above and Beyond Award for their proven excellence in community

leadership and service. Sandra Rascon will be accepting the award at the Avenue of the Arts

in Costa Mesa on Saturday June 24, 2017

Toberman has collaborated with ITEP a second year for the Summer of 2017! ITEP provides

high school interns for six weeks of the summer. During the six weeks, they learn how to

function in the real world, while learning new skills and enhancing their interests in different

fields. Last year, we were honored to host three interns and we hope to have even more this

summer. Pictured here at the ITEP Employer

Orientation, on a Harbor Boat tour, are

representatives from all the hosting employer

organizations. You may notice some of our

Leadership Team – Michele Fallon, top row,

Sandra Rascon and Jenee’ Martin, seated in

the middle aisle. We are looking forward to

another great summer of fun, interns, men-

torship, and most of all, sharing the mission

of Toberman! Thank you ITEP for another

opportunity to be a part of this wonderful

experience!

PV Junior Women’s Club

We would like to thank the Palos Verdes Junior Women's Club

for their generous donation to our Summer Academy and our

Toberman After School Program. Your funds help our youth

receive the resources they need to help them be successful in

expanding their knowledge in and out of the classroom.

Summer Night Lights

Literacy Night On Thursday, May 25th Toberman hosted a Family Literacy Night at Toberman

Neighborhood Center. Parents and children engaged in activities such as; sight word bingo,

compound word matching games, roll story and make bookmark crafts that promoted

literacy and reading. This gave parents and children the opportunity to learn together. Our

volunteer , Gloria, taught a lesson on water cycle. The San Pedro library joined in with their

resources and families were able to sign up for a library card. Parents also got to take home

resources to help their children who received books to start their own literacy at home.

June 28th – August 5th Wednesdays thru Saturdays

August 11th – August 25th Fridays and Saturdays

7pm - 11:30pm

The Summer Night Lights program is a public and private partnership undertaken by the

City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Office of Gang Reduction & Youth Development (“GRYD”)

and The GRYD Foundation. SNL is part of the GRYD Comprehensive strategy, which is

directed at increasing community resiliency to the influence of gangs and gang violence.

Trustees Corner

The end of our fiscal year is June 30, 2017, and along with

the closing of our financial books, we will also have a transition in our Board of

Trustees Leadership. Our current Board Chairman, David McKenna will step

down and Patty Koester, long time trustee will take David’s position as new

Chair of the Board. David’s leadership of the Board of trustees spans from the

past five years and in the coming fiscal year he will transition to the Past

Chairman’s position. Under David’s leadership the board’s involvement has

increased in fundraising activities, and the implementation of new initiatives.

We thank all of our trustees for their dedication and support.

The average child will eat 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before he/she

graduates from high school. Let’s keep the youth eating healthy, nutritious, and

tasty peanut butter.

Join us to support the Food Pantry during the summer by donating a jar of

peanut butter to help build our sand castle for the youth here at Toberman.
