Cowabunga! It’s the one-year anniversary of the Orange County Breeze Magazine. It’s time
to beat the bongo drums and strum the ukuleles!
Come join SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel
in saluting the OC Breeze Magazine for
all it does to bring communities, families and friends, local businesses and
organizations together in Northwest Orange County.
With its unique voice and colorful, islands’ format, the
magazine is dedicated to covering the stories that make a difference in
people’s lives.
Whether its business and government, education, health,
home and garden, or entertainment and sports, the OC Breeze Magazine covers
it all.
Conceived and operated by Editor Shelley Henderson...
and Advertising Director Guy Cariglio (the Big Kahuna)...
the OC Breeze Magazine (print and
online) was launched in June 2012.
Now it reaches 35,000 homes and businesses in Cypress,
Los Alamitos, Rossmoor, Seal Beach, El Dorado Park Estates, College Park East
and West, and the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base.
“Our big thing is building community, weaving and
repairing the ties that bind us together,” says Henderson.
The recipient of an Orange County 2013 Woman of Distinction Award, Henderson is always on the
look-out for a good story. “One of my biggest joys is going out to local
businesses and then writing an article about them to share with our readers.”
Cariglio is a people-person and works closely with local
businesses and organizations. “When it comes to advertising,” he says, “its
purpose isn’t just to sell, but to build name recognition and branding.” He helps
each business design specialized ads suited to its individual needs.
Together, Henderson and Cariglio like to shine the
spotlight on the people, activities, and events that make Orange County such a
vibrant place to live and work. They strive for the “Wow!” factor – making the OC Breeze Magazine colorful and
inviting.
What other magazine would feature the exotic,
island-themed artwork of local tiki artist Doug Horne (profiled by SurfWriter
Girls) on the cover?
As contributors to the OC Breeze Magazine, SurfWriter Girls Patti and Sunny have enjoyed being part of its
first year.
Some beach-related stories SurfWriter Girls wrote include the:
International Surfing Museum’s 25th
Anniversary
Shorebreak Hotel – a bodacious surfers’ retreat
River’s End Café surfers and cyclists scene
Rad, new solar surfboards at Coral Reef Wetsuits
M&M Surfing School educating the community

Island Getaway at Don the Beachcomber
What OC Breeze
Magazine stories can you expect to see in the coming year? “We’re growing
every month and we want to keep growing,” says Cariglio, “providing more
information and more pleasure to our readers.”
Office Manager and Contributing Writer Katie Wiedel notes, “We try to have a
lot of fun around here. It’s been a wild ride!”
With Henderson and Cariglio at the helm of the OC Breeze Magazine, SurfWriter Girls are
sure that the ride will continue...
and the magazine’s second year will bring you
the latest news with attitude, pulsing with an energetic beat.
