Vista Del Mar, one of southern California’s oldest and most highly-regarded children’s community service organizations, was the recipient of a major donation, given by Nora Lighting on behalf of the company’s owners, customers, independent reps and staff.

The donation was presented to Linda Karchem, director of Vista Del Mar Volunteer Programs, at a holiday dinner hosted by Fred and Jilla Farzan, owners/partners at Nora Lighting.  “The Nora team was extremely pleased to be able to assist Vista Del Mar with this holiday gift,” said Jilla Farzan. “The organization’s activities span a wide spectrum of services for families with children who have significant emotional, social, learning and developmental disabilities.”

“We are truly blessed to be in a position to assist Vista Del Mar,” added Fred Farzan, president, Nora Lighting.  “Our hard-working staff, reps and customers have made this gift possible because of their care and support.”
