Save the Date for the 2009 DRLC Annual Gala
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at the Omni Hotel, Los Angeles,
with jazz and blues great, Barbara Morrison!
Wonderful supporters, volunteers, present and past board members enjoyed brisk weather and good company to celebrate at the DRLC's Annual Summer Open House. We were able to recognize our fabulous associate co-counsel with certificates and our professional panel volunteers for their partnership with the DRLC working to create a more just society as we strive to eliminate the attitudinal and legal barriers that prevent the full enjoyment of society for people with disabilities. We don’t just want to put a band aid on the wrongs; we want to eliminate them either through litigation, advocacy, education or legislation. And we remain hopeful and optimistic that change continues to be possible because of our persistence and our track record. Join us at our annual gala on Thursday, November 19, 2009 where we will recognize other partners in change.
