Visionary Women Annual Awards Celebration
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Turnip Rose, Costa Mesa
Mark your calendar to attend our 2nd annual Visionary Women Circle Annual Awards Luncheon at the Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa. We'll be celebrating families and the women in our community who enhance the lives of others. Nominations for honorees are invited. Call Lynn at 949.757.3702 for details.
View photos from our Visionary Women Lunch in January.
During our inaugural Luncheon last October, the witty, timeless and delightfully irrepressible Debbie Reynolds charmed more than 300 guests. We took that opportunity to honor three specially selected women for serving as models of commitment to compassionate care, Donna Crean, Jacqueline Dupont and Linda Mangers. Their sensitivity, empathy and ability to instill a sense of hope distinguishes them and inspires others.
Join our Visionary Women Circle: the compassion to care, the leadership to conquer. Our Visionary Women Circle is a membership group whose purpose is to cultivate a closer relationship between the Alzheimer’s Association and the community. Visionary Women Circle volunteers raise awareness and funds for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease, garnering support for families throughout Orange County. Although supported by Chapter staff, the volunteer-driven Visionary Women Circle offers a meaningful and empowering opportunity for those willing to devote their time and talents.
