Read Associate
Justice Carol A. Corrigan's award presentation remarks
Read Priscilla Camp's
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 festivities continued with the drawing for some outstanding
raffle prizes, including a one-week vacation in Hawaii and a stay at
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.

On June 26, Legal Assistance for Seniors celebrated those without
whom our help and outreach to the senior community would be impossible
– our volunteers! Board members, staff, volunteers and their guests
were able to enjoy a lunch buffet and the beautiful bay view at the Hs
Lordships restaurant at the Berkeley Marina. After a welcome by
Executive Director Francel D’Andrea and a speech from our new Board
President Catherine Duggan, our volunteers were presented with awards
and certificates. Maureen Carden, Managing Attorney at LAS, presented
all legal volunteers with a Wiley Manuel certificate for their service.
Janet Van Deusen, HICAP Manager, awarded all HICAP volunteers with
orchids and special words of thanks. She honored several with pins and
certificates from the California Department of Aging for reaching the
important milestones of 5, 10, 15 and 20 years of service as HICAP
Counselors.
LAS would like to thank all of our other dedicated volunteers for
their time and effort. We are truly honored by your service!
