2020 Life Improvement Awards Breakfast
Celebrating 45 years of service to our community
Dear Friends...
With respect and concern for our community's safety, and given the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic,
we have canceled our Breakfast.
Alternatively, we will be recognizing and honoring our 2020 Life Improvement Ambassador, Paul J. Hoh Life Improvement Award recipients and client achievements in a different format.
While we will miss the opportunity to be together in person, we look forward to celebrating the achievements of these individuals and organizations with you virtually this fall...
