Mission Viejo Mayor to Chair Annual Vocational Visions Enchanted Evening Fundraiser

Mission Viejo Mayor Cathy Schlicht will chair Vocational Visions’ 13th annual Enchanted Evening fundraiser on Saturday, April 16, 2016 at the Irvine Marriot Hotel. The popular fundraiser supports the Mission Viejo-based nonprofit’s eight comprehensive programs that provide employment, adult day programs and community inclusion services to over 500 adults with Intellectual/Developmental and other disabilities.

This year’s theme, An Enchanted Evening with Las Vegas Legends, will feature an elaborate silent auction, dinner, live entertainment with a “Rat Pack” theme and the highlight of each year – an inspiring live performance by Vocational Visions participants.

Schlicht is a 32-year Mission Viejo resident and has served multiple terms as an elected official for the City of Mission Viejo; her term as mayor runs through the end of 2015. She has also served as a board member for the Saddleback Republican Assembly and was an ambassador for the Mission Viejo Chamber of Commerce. She began supporting Vocational

Visions over 10 years ago when she assisted with their contract renewal for cleaning services that provides important jobs via Vocational Visions Supported Employment program. “Vocational Visions is a mainstay in Mission Viejo and I’ve always felt a strong sense of family among its supporters, staff and most importantly, the individuals they serve. It is truly my honor to serve as event chair for their 2016 Enchanted Evening fundraiser and I am looking forward to sharing their gift of helping others through this role,” said Schlicht.
