acceptance speech
On Friday, October 23, a sold-out crowd of 270 friends, colleagues
and fans of veteran Oakland Elder Law attorney, Priscilla Camp,
gathered at the Silver Dragon restaurant in Oakland to pay tribute to
Priscilla as Legal Assistance for Seniors honored her with a Lifetime
Achievement Award. The luncheon, entitled "Serving Seniors Never Gets
Old," was LAS' annual fundraising event.
The fundraising event, a project of the LAS
Board of Directors, was the most successful ever.
Belva Davis, host of KQED's "This Week in Northern California,"
graciously agreed to act as Mistress of Ceremonies. Following a welcome
by LAS Board President, Catherine Duggan, Executive Director Francel
D'Andrea introduced Elizabeth Harris, a former LAS client, who
expressed gratitude for the work LAS did on her behalf.
Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court Carol A. Corrigan
then spoke about Ms. Camp and presented her with the award, a beautiful
engraved crystal vase.

the Claremont Resort & Spa.
The fundraising event, a project of the LAS Board of Directors
and chaired this year by the president, Catherine Duggan, was the most
successful ever. Proceeds will be used to support free legal services
and community education for Alameda County residents over the age of
60.
