On May 31, WAGV held its 15th Anniversary Courageous Leadership Awards Brunch. We would like to thank some of the individuals who made it such an emotionally rewarding experience.

Thank you to honorees Mindy Finklestein and Joshua Stepakoff, survivors of the North Valley Jewish Community Center shooting rampage; former LAPD officer Kristina Ripatti, wounded on duty; Southern California Edison and Edison's Frank J. Quevedo (recently retired) and Edward Robinson. And a big thank-you for doing such a great job to: California Assemblymember Kevin de León, Honorary Event Chair, Brunch Chair and WAGV Board Secretary Katherine Hennigan and emcee Nancy Morgan Ritter, actor and a former WAGV honoree.

Please mark your calendars for next year's Courageous Leadership Awards Brunch on May 23, 2010, from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM, at the Skirball Cultural Center.
