And finally, Jennifer Principe, a fashion consultant and creator of the iStyle Book, gathered a huge collection of wonderful clothes for all of the girls living on campus. Once the girls had picked out items they wanted from the new and gently used articles of clothing, Jennifer organized their choices and created an iStyle Book visually outlining all the possible outfit combinations of their clothes. She also donated jewelry and new undergarments for each of the teen girls. The girls were very grateful to not only receive the beautiful clothing, but to have the expert advice of how to properly put the outfits together.

We are very grateful to each of these generous donors for their special efforts and gifts of time on behalf of our children. The children look great and feel happy about being put together in style! Thank you!

Members of Pepperdine University’s Churchill Society, made up of students from the Graduate School of Public Policy, spent a Saturday in September at Casa Pacifica hosting a very informative, clear, and concise workshop on normally difficult-to-understand public policies that affect the youth’s lives, as well as a second workshop on careers, including a guide outlining how to find one that interests them and the steps to take to get there. In addition to the workshops, the two groups also had a great time getting to know each other over a delicious barbeque luncheon and a rousing game of kickball. There were lots of smiles and positive connections being made throughout the day. Thank you to all the wonderful Pepperdine students for spending a day with our youth and giving them an opportunity to make new friends and look ahead with hope toward their futures!

Several groups this year made sure that Casa Pacifica’s children were well-clothed for the start of the school year. Michelle Sievers and Kirsten Selleck of the Girls on a Mission group spent a couple of days on campus sizing every child and asking what kind of outfit they would like. Once gathered, GOM members took the information and bought each child’s outfit - all the items from head to toe! Michelle and Kirsten then returned to campus and presented each complete ensemble to its very excited and grateful recipient.

The Los Angeles Children’s Charity Group organized a ‘Fun Day’ on Casa Pacifica’s campus that included face painting, balloon art, games, a D.J. with dancing, and an all-you-can-eat lunch from The Habit. The main focus of the day though was for the children to pick out new clothes from a dozen pop-up tents where items such as blankets, jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and jackets were piled high. The last stop was to pick up a new pair of Vans shoes in their chosen style that the LACCG purchased for Members of Pepperdine University's Churchill Society

New Archie Website Launched • www.archiethetherapydog.com

asa Pacifica is excited to announce the launch of the newly redesigned Archie the Casa Pacifica Therapy Dog website. Archie’s new website features photos and information about Archie and Casa Pacifica’s youth and includes an online store featuring many wonderful Archie related products – button-down and polo shirts, caps, mugs, t-shirts, etc. - that visitors to the site can purchase. Tess Cand Baker, Archie’s nephew and niece and Casa Pacifica’s newest therapy dogs, are introduced on the site, and there is also a link on the page that provides the opportunity to donate to the Archie Fund – a fund which supports extraordinary expenses that arise for youth in Casa Pacifica’s care which are beyond the scope of the basic budget. These needs include situations such as travel funds for a parent without means to visit a residential youth as part of his/her treatment plan, or a gym membership for an overweight diabetic youth who needs to get more regular exercise, or the costs of high school senior extras such as drivers training classes, senior portraits, prom costs, and class rings. The needs and situations are varied, significant, and to be able to fulfill the special needs makes a meaningful difference in the children/youth’s lives. To visit Archie’s new website go to www.archiethetherapydog.com, and while you’re at it, check out and ‘Like’ Archie’s Facebook page as well which can be viewed at www.facebook.com/ArchieTheCasaPacificaTherapyDog.
