Happy October

OCWLA Members!


I am excited to announce that our largest-ever 48th Annual Gala is already SOLD OUT!! The Gala will be held on Thursday, October 17th at the spectacular VEA Hotel in Newport Beach where we will honor our award recipients: the Honorable Desirae Hutchison for Judge of the Year, Mei Tsang for Attorney of the Year, and Cox, Castle & Nicholson for our Advancement of Women Award.

 

We will also hold our silent auction with over 40 items including wine baskets, jewelry, restaurant and shopping gift cards, Angels and Ducks tickets and much more. Please look out for an email where you can pre-register for the silent auction and bid on items prior to and during the event. For our live auction, we will be auctioning off a Luxury 4-Night All-Inclusive Cancun Getaway and a 2-Night Stay including dinner at the Ranch in Laguna Beach. New this year, we will be raffling off a luxury handbag, one-carat diamond earring studs, and an overnight stay in a suite, including breakfast, at the Renaissance Newport Beach. It’s going to be an unforgettable evening and I hope to see you there! 


Warmly,

Caroline Djang
