Ann
& Bruce Mortland
Valya Roenko Simpson & Irv Simpson
Oceanside Museum
of Art presents the Medal of Distinction each year at the Museum Ball
in honor of members of the museum and the community who have made
a significant contribution to the success of the museum. This year’s
honorees are Irv and Valya Simpson and Ann Mortland.
OMA has been like a home for Irv and Valya over the years. Being both
artists and art aficionados, Irv and Valya naturally came to be supporters
of OMA. They have continued to give generously of their time and resources
and have procured sizable gifts for both the Capital and Endowment
funds. Irv is a small businessman and artist and has served on the
board for eight years, holding positions as Secretary and Treasurer.
He is also a longstanding member of the Exhibitions committee, curator
of two OMA Regional juried exhibits, and member of the Collections
and Finance committees. As a fiber artist, Valya was exhibited at
OMA in a well-received one-person show, Cell Memory: Baba.
She consistently enhances museum events with her vibrant personality
and beautiful, handmade, one-of-a-kind clothing. Together they are
founding members of the Millennium Club.
Ann has been interested in the Museum from its beginning, and became
active after her retirement in 1997. When the new Getty Center opened
in 1998, Ann arranged seven bus trips that were among the first available
through local organizations. Ann has been a dedicated member of the
Special Events committee for several years, serving as secretary from
2001 to this year, and chaired or co-chaired the Museum Ball four
times. She also has organized numerous Mardi Gras Brunches and other
events, and continues to handle reservations and table arrangements.
Now completing her fourth three-year term on the Board of Trustees,
she is serving as Board Secretary. In 1998, she coordinated the Grand
Opening celebrations for the new building. Ann and her husband Bruce
are Millenium Club members and Platinum Founders.

PROFILE
OMA is delighted
to inaugurate a new feature in our quarterly newsletter profiling
some of the supporters that make many of the museum’s exhibitions
and programs possible. We are especially pleased to begin with the
Leichtag Family Foundation, which has generously supported several
OMA programs in the past year, including the exhibition Fabric of
Survival: The Art of Esther Nisentha Krinitzl and its related programs,
as well as the hugely popular presentation of the film Shanghai Ghetto
this past May.
The Leichtag Family Foundation, established in 1991, has awarded grants
totaling more than $40 million to improve lives and benefit the community.
Founded by Max “Lee” Leichtag , a successful entrepreneur,
his wife Andre “Toni” Leichtag, and their daughter Joli
Ann Leichtag, the Leichtag Family Foundation exercises visionary philanthropy
through its mission that “strives to alleviate human hardship,
advance self-sufficiency, and promote tolerance and understanding,
reflecting the Leichtag’s pride in their Jewish heritage.”
The Leichtag Family Foundation has a particular interest in advancing
the growth and enrichment of North County San Diego since this was
the community in which the family lived and worked for many years.
Since the passing of Mr. and Mrs. Leichtag and Joli, the Leichtag
Family Foundation continues to carry out its mission under the leadership
of its Board, each of whom had personal connections to the family.
Of the Foundation’s relationship with OMA, Leichtag Family Foundation
President and CEO said, “Through its many and varied efforts,
the Oceanside Museum of Art is having an extremely positive impact
on the lives of many San Diego County community members. The Leichtag
Family Foundation is particularly pleased to partner with OMA in building
opportunities for Jewish culture and life in San Diego’s North
County.”
OMA deeply appreciates the support of the Leichtag Family Foundation,
and we know that our members join us in saying “Thank you!”

Charitable Foundation, annual gifts from friends like you will be

CREATE
A LEGACY AND BENEFIT OMA
Contribute to Oceanside
Museum of Art’s future by planning for a special kind of gift.
Although cash contributions are always appreciated, there is
another way to help ensure OMA’s future -- by including the
Museum in your will. Donors who remember OMA in their wills can
provide indispensable
support for exhibitions, education programs, capital needs or other
purposes. You decide how the Museum will use your gift. You can
even set up a named fund for a purpose that you designate. You may
arrange for the Museum to receive a specific dollar amount, assets
such as real estate or art, or a percentage of your estate. Your
legacy gift is tax deductible and is easy to establish even if you
already have a will. For more information, contact OMA’s Director
of Community Relations, Natasha Martinez at (760) 435-3726
