Toni Iseman to be honored

Councilwoman Toni Iseman will be honored Feb. 6 at the annual Laguna

Beach Woman’s Club luncheon for the outgoing mayor.

The public is invited.

Iseman, who served as mayor in 2003, is serving her second term on

the council.

During her tenure, Iseman has focused on issues she believes

affect the quality of life in Laguna, such as reducing traffic and

circulation problems downtown and throughout the city; keeping Laguna

Canyon undeveloped, including opposition to moving the city

maintenance yard to the ACT V parking lot; and noise in residential

neighborhoods from low-flying airplanes and illegal motorcycles.

“Toni has been an effective role model to encourage women in

Laguna Beach to enter public service,� club member Anne Johnson said.

“What impresses me most is the way she keeps in touch and listens

to the concerns of the residents and business people in town,� she

said. “She returns phone calls promptly and attends many community

events.

“Her mission in office has been to preserve and protect Laguna

Beach, and she has remained true to that,� Johnson said.

Iseman is a member of the Woman’s Club.

The luncheon will also include the Dessert Contest with two

categories: chocolate and other. Prizes will be awarded.

Jan Barbieri is the luncheon chair.

Admission is $18 if a prepaid reservation is made by Feb. 1, $20

if paid at the door. For more information or reservations, call (949)

497-1200.
