GALA EVENT—FUND-RAISING DINNER
Time is at hand for our first fund-raising dinner on June 18, 2001, honoring our board member and one of the founders of MTV, Leslie Leventman at Windows on the World. We hope to have many regional directors in atten- dance. Directors and volunteers should speak to Aimee Holtzman about special arrangements we are making for them. We will charge volunteers and regional directors $150 instead of $500 to attend. Leslie Leventman will be honored the first Lena and Joseph Mandelbaum Humanitarian Award. It will be presented by MTV CEO Tom Freston We will be presenting the Former United States Secretary of Agriculture The Honorable Dan Glickman with the first Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Award. It will be presented by the Late Bill Emerson's daughter, Abby Emerson Gilhooley for his work in helping to start the Rock and Wrap It Up! School Program. He served 6 years as Secretary of Agriculture in President Bill Clinton's cabinet. Many dignitaries and stars have RSVPed and there will be a surprise musical guest. It is not too late to respond.
