After more than 15 years in New York City, Kim decided to join her twin sister on the west coast and has never looked back. Almost 7 years in Socal, she lives in South Laguna with her husband, Jon and 2 year old son, Dylan.
You can find them at the beach or exploring new restaurants. Laguna Beach is definitely their forever home.
Allison Wald moved to Laguna Beach from the Bay Area in 2017 and has loved calling this special place her home for the past four years. In addition to being a Mom, Allison works for Starbucks on their Ethics and Compliance team. She joined the club after moving to Laguna and wanted to get more involved with the culture and community and meet other local families. As a working mom, this club has allowed her and her family to meet so many wonderful friends that will last a lifetime.
Kayla Wiechert lives in Laguna with her husband, two young sons, and dog. They enjoy walking and playing at local parks together. She works with student clubs and organizations at Chapman University so is excited to contribute to, and gain from, one in her own community!
