Highlights
of the 2006 Gala
Almost 500 Silicon Valley business and civic leaders
networked, dined, and even prayed together to celebrate the "41st
Annual SVCCJ Silicon Valley Exemplary Community Leadership Awards." 2006
Chairs Marilyn & David Pratt, John Toole, and Art Zafiropoulo installed
Honorees, Caretha & Ken Coleman, Dave House, and Stan Myers. It was
a real gathering of old friends as they came to honor people who built
Silicon Valley's economic miracle and the nonprofit organization that
represents their investment in the diverse community that anchors their
global markets. A joint 3-faith invocation and blessing was given by
SVCCJ Interfaith Dialogue participants: Bishop Patrick McGrath, Cantor
Devorah Felder-Levy, and Rev. Gerald Sakamoto. Rev. Isaiah Jones, another
SVCCJ Interfaith participant, treated the audience to a rousing rendition
of Camp Everytown's favorite songs with his Everytown Youth Chorus. You
don't have to ask if a good time was had by all; just look at the smiles!
