Wallis Annenberg Center Rededication Ceremony
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
Rededication of the Newly Renovated Wallis Annenberg Center!
The Wallis Annenberg Center Rededication Ceremony was an exciting and successful event. On September 9, 2009, over 75 friends, supporters and guests joined Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky in celebrating the reopening of Aviva’s residential center for abused and neglected teenage girls. Many thanks to Barbara Lazaroff, renovation chair, who gathered the numerous in-kind donors who contributed to making this house a home. We also thank the corporations and foundations who have supported us through significant endeavor.
