MEDAL OF DISTINCTION HONOREES John and Gail De Salvo The Palm Club, The 2009 Museum Ball is a special occasion to honor members of the museum and the community who have made a significant contribution to the success of the museum. Each year the “Medal of Distinction” is presented at the Ball. This year the museum will honor John and Gail De Salvo. The De Salvos have been deeply involved with the museum over the years. John is a past member of the museum’s Board of Trustees and Gail developed the Culinary Arts Council, serving as its first chair for five years. The Culinary Arts Council prepares the hors d’oeuvres for each of the museum’s preview receptions. As plans for the museum’s new addition became a reality, John and Gail came forward with a generous donation. Through their company, Pacifica Engineers, Inc., they donated all of the engineering costs for the expansion that now connects the classic Irving Gill building with the contemporary Frederick Fisher designed addition. The De Salvos continue to support cultural and civic programs in the community having lived in Oceanside for 17 years. A dedicated golfer, John can be found most often on the golf course when not at work. Gail still finds time to serve on several museum committees, having chaired the Honorary Committee Party for 3 of the last 4 years, and she currently serves on the Board of Directors with the Women’s Resource Center. If you ask John and Gail what really matters, you’ll get to hear about Jonathan and Olivia, their adorable and clever grandchildren. Lucky for the De Salvos these special young ones live nearby and provide endless hours of joy and wonder.
