Happy October OCWLA Members!

Our 47th Annual Gala is only 2 weeks away! Please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible as it will likely sell out. The Gala will be held on Tuesday, October 17th at the VEA Hotel in Newport Beach where we will honor our award recipients including, the Honorable Claudia J. Silbar for Judge of the Year, Kate Corrigan for Attorney of the Year, and the Orange County Bar Association for our Advancement of Women Award. Please make sure to RSVP by October 10th.

We will also hold our silent auction with over 60 items including, wine baskets, jewelry, restaurant and shopping gift cards, spa packages, and much more. For our live auction, we will auction off an Electric Bike, a Balenciaga Purse, and a 2-Night Stay at the VEA Hotel. It’s going to be a fun night that you won’t want to miss. I hope to see you there! 

It is also not too late to sponsor our Gala. Sponsorship Opportunities are available here. Please email our Executive Director at info@ocwla.org by October 9 to reserve your Gala Sponsorship.
