I Am Seeking. I Am Striving. I Am in it With All My Heart -
Vincent Van Gogh
While I do not share Vincent Van Gogh's artistic talents, I
do embrace his philosophical perspective and approach to all
things in life. The daughter of a US Naval Officer, my Father,
and a God fearing Pentecostal Mother, I learned at a very young
age the worth and importance of respect, structure, obedience,
and obligation. These life lessons are anchored in certain truths:
trust, compassion, integrity, loyalty, courage, humility, and
self-respect. The timeless ideologies trademarked in my childhood
have become the voice through, which I have the joy of advocating
today for our kids, and the guiding principles through which
I have the pleasure of leading our organization.
On a personal note, I derive pleasure and enjoyment from my
patio garden ~ it's my safe haven ~ a quite place ideal for
a quick physical and spiritual respite. Here I also take delight
in re-visiting the pages of Medieval Literature and the famed
plays and sonnets of the Bard: Shakespeare. Although a recent
graduate with my Master's Degree from the University of La Verne's
College of Business, I remain an impassioned British Lit major
at heart!
I have been blessed with two precious children. My daughter,
Heather, is a Peace Officer with the Inland Valley Humane Society,
and my son Trevor, former Paratrooper with the 101st Airborne,
is now a member of the TN National Guard and now resides with
his adorable wife Mara, in Nashville. My children are two of
life's most treasured gifts and they will remain my most noble
lifetime accomplishment: the art of motherhood, as they both
continue to amuse and amaze me…fill my heart with joy!
Heather Lint, Communications &
Events Coordinator
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this
not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so
that no one can boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
Blessings, my name is Heather and I have been with Children's
Fund since July 2004. I am a second generation San Bernardino
native, and a third generation So Cal native. I received my
BA from CSUSB in Education, but after student teaching I realized
that education was not the path for me. Instead I entered the
wacky world of professional baseball, working in the front offices
of the then Anaheim Angels and the Colorado Rockies organizations.
My passions in life are God and family (especially my two adorable
nephews). In my free time I enjoy reading non-fiction books
on astronomy and Christian apologetics. I also enjoy studying
new things, traveling, laughing, spending quality time with
my family and doing nice things spontaneously to cheer people
up and make them feel special and cared for. I am a bit of a
science geek; I love physics, astronomy & chemistry, but
am also very creative & artistic. I love baseball (Angels
& Giants) and enjoy football (Go Packers!)
Jane
Nottingham, Senior Events Assistant
We must adjust to ever-changing world, while holding on to our
never-changing principles.
Greetings! My name is Jane. I recently joined the staff at Children's
Fund in April as the Sr. Events Assistant. I'm very excited
to be a part of such an incredible team. My professional career
consists of 10 years in the Banking Industry and another 9 years
as an Account Manager for a Professional Fiduciary. Prior to
joining the Children's Fund team my passion for golf brought
me to the P.G.A. of Southern California Golf Club as the Merchandise
Coordinator. In 2000 I had the unique opportunity to become
the Treasurer for Mike Ramos's Campaign for San Bernardino County
District Attorney. I also enjoyed my experience as the Secretary
and Special Events Coordinator for Redlands A.Y.S.O.
I enjoy weekend getaways and golfing with my wonderful husband
Cecil, a Police Officer with the City of Colton and going to
the beach and eating sushi with my fabulous daughter Michelle,
a June 2007 CSUSB graduate. Quality family time is an essential
part of my life.
De Thomas, Program
Assistant
I will look unto the hills from which cometh my help, my help
cometh from the Lord. -Psalms 121:1-3
Hello! My name is DeDee. I moved from Pasadena to San Bernardino
in 1988, and now reside in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I've had the
privilege and joy of being a member of the Children's Fund staff
as an Administrative Assistant since January 2006. I have found
being a part of the Children's Fund team to be challenging,
exciting and very rewarding. I love spending time with my family,
which brings me great joy. I enjoy working within the ministry
at my church as the church clerk, Sunday school teacher and
choir director. I love outdoors, traveling, music, museums,
the arts and relaxing at the beach at sunset. And I enjoy every
one of my 20 grandchildren, and the time I am able to spend
with them.
Laura
Vogt, Fiscal Assistant
"The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured
by how they regard animals" - Anonymous
My name is Laura. I have been working for Children's Fund since
April 2003. I am a Financial Assistant. I work part-time now
but had worked the first several years full-time. My husband
and I also own our own Construction Project Management business,
which is what I do when I am not at Children's Fund.
I have been married for 11 years to my wonderful husband David.
I have a beautiful eight year-old Great Dane named Harle. My
husband's and my life completely revolve around her.
I have been living in California for over 5 years now. I am
from Upstate NY and miss it very much (except for the winters).
Most of my family still lives there and someday I hope to live
there again permanently.
