For prospective homebuyers looking to grab a piece of San Juan Capistrano history, an early 20th century home, formerly occupied by one of Orange Countys most prominent families, is now on the market.

After 11 years, Christopher Zell and his partner Matthew Jacob are selling their home, the historic Durnford-Forster House, located at 31319 Andres Pico Road, in the Mission Hill neighborhood.

The 2,214-square-foot home, which is listed at $1.25 million, was built in 1928 by Fred Stroschein for Marco Forster and his young family. Marco, a former city councilman and member of the former San Juan School Board of Trustees, was the great grandson of John Don Juan Forster, one of the largest landowners in California during the 1800s and whose family owned and lived in the Mission before President Abraham Lincoln deeded it back to the Catholic Church in 1864.

I love telling that story, Zell said, that we have that connection not only to the Forster family but loosely to Abraham Lincoln.

Zell and Jacob were drawn to San Juan Capistrano by the Mission and would make the short drive down from their home in Coto de Caza on the weekends to walk through its courtyard and gardens.

It was more spiritual than religious, Zell said. Its such a special place, and it just pulled us in.

The couple first opened a salon business across from the Mission, Christopher Perry at the Mission, which was sold five years ago and is now Brush Salon.

HISTORY OF LEADERSHIP SAN JUAN Class is one of more than 2,000 programs

Leadership San Juan is a class offered through San Juan College. To enroll in a class, participants must first to fill out an application. Applications are currently being accepted. The deadline to apply for this year's class is 5 p.m. May 1. Applications are available online at sanjuancollege.edu.

Beginnings: Leadership San Juan began through the efforts of James Henderson, Marjorie Black and Nancy Shepherd at San Juan College.

Nearly 25 years ago: The first class of Leadership San Juan began in September 1989. The class graduated in May 1990.

Albuquerque: The program consulted Leadership Albuquerque for advice when it formed. Leadership Albuquerque started a few years before Leadership San Juan.

Goal: Each leadership program in the country focuses on the unique needs of the community it serves. Leadership San Juan focuses on increasing awareness and knowledge of local issues.

FARMINGTON When members of Leadership San Juan toured McCormick Elementary School last fall, they noticed a small room at the school with a 15-year-old washing machine and dryer.

The members learned Griselda Jaramillo, a nurse at the school, uses the machines to wash dirty uniforms some students wear to school. Because McCormick Elementary serves a number of low-income students, sometimes children arrive at the school in uniforms that need to be washed, school staff said.

And that inspired this year's Leadership San Juan class, which adopted the theme of helping children, to make one of its projects remodeling the little laundry room.

Doug Hatfield, a Leadership San Juan member, shows off a pair of shoes donated by K-Mart as Brent Jensen, the manager of Sam's Club, looks on at the school in Farmington.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) March 28, 2014

Tim Leeper Roofing of Middle Tennessee announces first annual golf tournament in support of the Music City Guitar Tour, a yearly event that supports local non-profits with cash prizes and guitars signed by famous musicians and celebrities.

The golf tournament will be held on August 4, 2014 at the Five Oaks Country Club in Lebanon, TN. There will be a morning and afternoon tournament happening on the same day. Although the upcoming 4th Annual Music City Guitar Tour will benefit from some of money raised, the main goal is to find additional charities in the Middle Tennessee who are making life changing strides in the community. Tennessee Baptist Childrens Home, Against the Grain and Ordinary Hero are among some of the charities that will benefit from the golf tournament. Tim Leeper and his team are still in the process of talking with local businesses to partner in putting on this wonderful event.

Our hope is that people will see this as not just another golf tournament, but for the good that it will do for the nonprofits and charities that receive the funding, says Tim Leeper.

Locally owned and operated, Tim Leeper Roofing has served the Nashville areas roofing needs for nearly 10 years. Not only is Tim dedicated to providing quality roofing services, but he is also an active supporter of his community with the Music City Guitar Tour, his local Roof Giveaway and more!
