2008 Inaugural Luncheon
Our first MPYD Luncheon was succussful by any measure, as we celebrated half a decade of our cause and mission in building young men. We thank last year's honorees County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, Greg Galletly of Dorn Platz Properties, Jaylene Moseley of the Flintridge Operating Foundation and Lawrence Felix for their continuing contributions to MPYD. We thank the Honorable Anthony Portantino (CA-AD 44) for serving as honorary chair of last year's event. Thanks again also to Anthony Samad, Ph.D. for your keynote address and Roland Bynum in serving as the master of ceremonies. Finally, we salute last year's sponsors, donors award recipients, event committee persons, participants and attendees and hope to count on you in supporting our 2009 event.
