Circle of Support Breakfast 2008  
   
 

Thank you to all of our volunteers, underwriters, guests,
and supporters for a successful Fifth Annual Circle of Support Breakfast!

A record crowd came to the Crowne Plaza Cabaña on May 8, 2008 to honor Susan Ford Dorsey, hear keynote speaker Firoozeh Dumas, and support Family & Children Services.

Firoozeh Dumas, author of the bestselling memoir Funny in Farsi and newly released Laughing Without An Accent, shared her insights on "Laughing Without An Accent: Building Bridges Through Humor."

The Circle of Support Committee and Family & Children Servcies were honored to present the 2008 Circle of Support Award to Susan Ford Dorsey, President of the Sand Hill Foundation.

Thank you to our generous underwriters:
