We Are Off To a Great Start! By Yobany Banks-McKay On Wednesday, January 6th, the NHBWA welcomed the New Year with a Rosca De Reyes themed luncheon in honor of sponsors and volunteer board members. Every year we have our appreciation luncheon in December, but this year not only do we start a new decade, it also marks the 10th anniversary of our annual fundraising gala, so to make it special, we decided to have the luncheon in January. As Pat Danel, representing NHBWA Board stated, this luncheon was simply to say "Thank you" to all of our sponsors who have been supporting our organization. Thanks to our sponsors, since 2001 we have been able to recognize 27 remarkable women through the Women of Year Award and, more importantly, we have been able to award 72 scholarships to deserving students. The luncheon was held in our beautifully decorated NHBWA offices. Some of the attendees were representatives of Bodas USA, Edison, Fisker Automotive, Principal Financial Group, State Farm, Union Bank, UPS and Wells Fargo. We enjoyed an assortment of tamales, champurrado and the Rosca de Reyes cake. The food was wonderful, but the camaraderie was much better. Everyone had a great time. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2010! Please save May 20th and join us to celebrate our 10th Anniversary Gala Event.
