MILLENNIUM MOMENT

Alice Fox, 81, is known as “Foxie” to countless people who

participated in youth programs at the Orange Coast YMCA in Newport Beach.

Fox started working there on a part-time basis in 1952 and went on to

develop a diverse range of programs for youth in grades seventh through

12. Fox was influential in the development of day activities, mountain

camping expeditions and the YMCA Model Legislature Program.

In addition to her work with the YMCA, Fox has been involved with many

community groups, including the Newport Harbor Zonta Club, the Newport

Harbor Business and Professional Women’s Club and the Costa Mesa High

School chapter of American Field Service.

* MILLENNIUM MOMENT celebrates the people who have made a major

contribution to the Newport-Mesa community during this century.
