As summer winds down later this month and the new school year (starting Aug. 18 for NMUSD) approaches, there’s a renewed energy in the air. Whether you’re wrapping up beach days, grabbing school supplies, or easing back into routines, this season brings a sense of fresh starts and forward momentum.
In this issue, we’re thrilled to feature the Klebanoff family—creative entrepreneurs, devoted parents, and proud owners of . a beloved gelato shop in CdM. Known for its handcrafted, small-batch Italian gelato, they’re now getting ready to open a second location on Balboa Island!
We’re also spotlighting some incredible partners this month:
💫 Negar Lencioni of Assisted Living Locators Beach Cities & Irvine—guiding families through the senior living journey with compassion and clarity
💫 —a new bespoke-luxury facility in Costa Mesa delivering precision repairs for high-end vehicles with white glove service.
💫 offering advanced, non-surgical treatments to help patients heal and thrive. They are located right here in Newport Brach.
Plus, meet recent CDM grad and accomplished tennis player, who launched the Junior Sportsmanship Portal to help young athletes learn rules and etiquette—a true example of youth leadership in action.
Here’s to fresh beginnings and local inspiration! ✨
