Worthy of any White House dinner, you’ll dine on a delicious 4-course gourmet meal prepared by chef Arturo Montes. Engage in an informal, wide-ranging conversation with Senator Boxer about the major political stories of the moment. A U. S. senator since 1993, Barbara Boxer is a forceful advocate for families, children, consumers, the environment and the State of California. She’s a leader in the fight for funding for HIV/AIDS research and care and is a member of Desert AIDS Project’s 100 Women program.
