Board Member Spotlight

Board Member Spotlight

Alexandra Kwoka, a current member of the Coastal Community Foundation Board, joined the Board in 2014, after retiring from the practice of Family Law.  Alex, who received her JD degree from the University of Chicago in 1974,  and her certification from the California Bar as a Family Law Specialist (and subsequently her LLM in Tax from the University of San Diego) maintained her law office in the Carmel Valley area upon moving with her husband Robert Semmer  to  Del Mar from Chicago in 1980.

Before joining the CCF Board, Alex was a member of the Board of the non-profit: Kids Turn San Diego, an organization whose mission is assisting  children and their parents as families experience separation because of divorce, deployment and other causes.  A mother of 5 children, two of whom graduated from Torrey Pines High School and three of whom who graduated from the Bishops School, Alex became and now is active in the Rotary Club and volunteers as a Co-Leader for a Girl Scouts Outreach Troop who meets at the City Heights Library.  Her interest and energy and focus is philanthropy  related to children and environmental issues.

Weidner Family Fund

My wise husband Bob had great advice for me. “Evelyn, you do what you do best, let someone else do the rest.”  I’m Best at Weidner’s Gardens sharing my knowledge of plants and gardening.  Part time now that I’m finally      retirement age.

I do my Best for the Heritage Ranch Museum as we work to preserve the stories and lives of many flower growers of the area.  I give my Best to my church, Solana Beach Presbyterian ,by co-leading a small group Bible study.

When it comes to handling the money I have earmarked for my charitable giving there was no doubt in my mind that Coastal Community Foundation would be the Best organization to take care of my funds.  When my family and I decided to put our charitable funds into a Donor  Advised Fund we went for the Best place-our own Coastal Community Foundation.  I let them do what they do Best.
