FEATURED CLASSMATE

Every time you use a towel, soap/hygiene dispensers or go to a public or corporate breakroom/bathroom (and much, much more), you see the products of WAXIE Sanitary Supply.  You'll see him at a multitude of community service events or serving on their boards.  You'll see him involved with youth sports and promoting the development of youth.  If that is not enough....... he pitches baseball  (yes he did in August 2011) see picture below - scroll down 

Charles Wax is President of WAXIE Sanitary Supply and has been active in the family business since 1973.  The business has been in operation for 66 years, with 21 locations in 9 states, with over 800 employees.  WAXIE is the largest family owned business in the sanitary supply industry and one of the oldest and largest privately held firms in San Diego County.   

In addition to leading the business, WAXIE and Charles have been involved in many community projects.  In 2010 they were a Flagship Sponsor for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk (picture above) raising nearly $100,000. 

Charles is active in many community and civic organizations, and has served or is currently on the Board of Directors of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, was a founder of the George Barnes Tennis Center for youth in San Diego, which was the first tennis center specifically built for kids in the US, served as Vice President of the San Diego Hall of Champions for over 25 years, and the International Sanitary Supply Association Foundation (ISSA).  He was past Chairman of Network Services, a Chicago-based member owned organization and founding President of the San Diego Jewish Academy.  In November 2007 Charles was inducted as a member of the San Diego Business Hall of Fame.  

Charles has been married to Randi for 39 years.  Randi is the owner of TravelDesign, a local travel agency and also the new Drybar located in Del Mar.  They have two married daughters, Staci and Amy.  Staci owns Del Mar Kids and Staci’s husband, Andy is the VP/Corporate Accounts Director, and works at WAXIE.  Staci and Andy have three children: Blake, Julia and Morris.  Blake attends Chapman University and played for the football team for 2 years.  Julia last year appeared at the Old Globe Theatre in the Brighton Beach Memoires.  Amy recently married Sean Oversmith.

1968 Exhibit

The Minnesota History Center now has an exhibit called 1968. It's all about things that were happening that year. As we all remember, it was a momentous year in the U.S. It will be traveling. I don't think it will be in San Diego. People may be interested since it was clearly a big year for all of us.
See: http://www.the1968exhibit.org/about-exhibit

Now:  Minnesota History Center | Friday, October 14 - Monday, February 20

Next venue:  Oakland Saturday, March 31, 2012 - Sunday, August 19, 2012

8/13/2011  EXECUTIVE NAP!

At the executive committee meeting..... we waited and waited and.......FINALLY called to see where the missing member was.....

Irma:  Hi Jim, what are you doing?

Jim McElwee's response:  I am taking a nap..........

(oops!)

6/5/2011 What is WORSE than putting someone who has not passed away into the "In-Memory" category?

answer:  Having the CHAIR of the HOOVER 68 Reunion Committee bringing your attention to it!

5/31/2011  Irma Groot innocently reminded Dan Ash and Steve Ko to put in their 12/2010 donations into the   DONATION CHALLENGE  so it would be counted in the survey results.  Simple?  You'd think huh?  NOT!

Dan's response: What is a “donation challenge”?

Jim McElwee's response:  I think it has something to do with bowel movements
