2002 Gala: There's No Place Like Home

 

On October 7, 2002 The Dorothy Chandler sparkled with generosity during DWC’s Annual Gala Event.

 

Honored for their impact on women's lives were remarkable individuals from among DWC's circle of supporters --  Leticia Aguilar, an executive with Bank of America, and Carolyn Williams, manager of community relations at Sempra Energy.

The power of individuals to create positive change on a daily baisis is exemplified both by the generosity of our honorees and by our Angel Award recipient, Mitchell Netburn, Executive Director of Los Angeles Housing Services Authority and long-time volunteer groups from the parishes of American Martyrs, St. Cyril of Jerusalem and St. John Fisher.

 

Among the evening's highlights -- an exciting live auction was presided over by Lisa Hubbard of Sotheby’s, who graciously donated her professional services for a fourth year.   Special Thanks also to Gala co-chairs Susan Diamond and Julie Withers, and to Christina Haadley for design of the event invitation, and to volunteers from Sidley Austin Brown & Wood for their hard work toward making this event special.

 

A special round of applause to our Sponsors! Special appreciation, as well, to Jim Simmons for video production and to all who attended the event and helped to make this night a success!
