Annual Gala Luncheon
Over 90 members, guests, and visitors attended our annual meeting/celebration of the year’s accomplishments. Jane Pinsky, Director, of NC Coalition for Lobbying & Government Reform, spoke of the vital need for fair districting. Awards for community and student leadership were presented to Jan King, Asst Superintendent of HCPS, and Taylor Calloway, recent graduate of North High School. Almost $2,500 was raised in our silent auction/raffle fundraiser.

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who contributed to our wonderful Annual Gala Luncheon! Your contributions to the program and silent auction and raffle—specific donations as well as volunteering before and during the event—made it all possible. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we’re delighted to let you know that we raised close to $2,500 with which we can better work toward our mission: Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.
Nan and Rachel
