The Orange County Trial Lawyers Association (OCTLA) honored Mitch with the 2009 Top Gun Award for "Government Entity Litigation - Trial Lawyer of the Year." "We honor the trial lawyers who were willing to "get involved" in their clients' cause... Each honoree has demonstrated performance above and beyond in serving their clients, not only in the past year, but for many years in their practices. All are well known in the legal community and have distinguished themselves as outstanding trial lawyers," said Alan C. Brown, President of OCTLA during the award presentation. "These lawyers have shown, by their actions, a spirit and dedication that represent the guiding principles of this organization". Mitch was surrounded by his family and friends - including many fellow Rotarians - to celebrate receiving the special award.

"I am very honored and flattered by my fellow Rotarians' nomination for Business Rotarian of the Year" said Wickstrom, "I joined Rotary to be around like-minded people who live by the Service Above Self philosophy that Rotary was founded upon. The more you give, the more you receive in return and when you apply this with your family, friends, business and community service it makes you a whole person, brining smiles to those around you each day." Rotary District 5320 has 46 clubs with 2,140 members all located within 30 miles of each other, in Orange County and parts of LA County. Each of the 46 clubs are asked to nominate one member from each club and then a panel of independent judge's will select 3 who will be awarded 2009 Business Rotarian of the Year on Friday, September 25th at Rotary International District 5320's Awards Luncheon at the Knotts Resort Hotel in Buena Park. The criteria for nomination for Business Rotarian of the Year include: that the candidate exemplifies the Four-Way Test, has high ethical standards, is a leader in their vocational field, is active in the community, active in humanitarian service, is an active Rotary club member for more than 2 years, and is approved by the club president. Russell Kerr, MBSR President, commented about Wickstrom's 2009 Business Rotarian of the Year nomination, "Every year the Rotary Clubs of Southern California selects fellow Rotarians from each Club who exemplify the tenets of Rotary in the professional and personal lives. I am thrilled and proud our club has selected Alan Wickstrom for our nominee from among our 60 members." Last year Dana Point resident and psychotherapist, Terry Rifkin, was awarded the 2008 Business Rotarian of the Year and the members of the Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary Club are hopeful Wickstrom will be selected this year.

2009 YOUNG SINGER OF THE YEAR COMPETITION 
DANA POINT, CALIFORNIA, Feb 25, 2009 - This year's crop of 9 singers from Dana Hills High School's SOCSA Academy arts program was a very talented bunch. At the direction of SOCSA's Artistic Director, Ray Woods, they competed with each other to move on to the YOUNG SINGER OF THE YEAR COMPETITION Semi Finals for Rotary District 5320 that will be at Winifred Smith Hall at UCI in Irvive, CA on March 21 and 22, 2009, as rated by 3 judges. This year, the club selected 3 of the 9 singers to move on to the district level, and we can be sure that will make us proud as they display their immense vocal skills. The three students going to the semi finals are Rachel Rothman (senior), Julie Wickstrom (junior) and Taylor Wahl (senior). Scroll down the page and you can watch and listen to the first, second and third place winners. We were stirred, encouraged, comforted, amused, and inspired by these wonderful students; and certainly we were reassured that our local schools continue to produce substantial young people who are preparing to assume leadership roles in their and our world. What a privilege it is to have our small part in sponsoring them and encouraging them along their paths in life.
