Dear Friends,

This year the Women's Center will be hosting its 30th Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at the Stockton Arena. We are excited to be partnering with the Stockton Arena and the Stockton Thunder Hockey Team this year to bring you our signature event in a fantastic new venue. Sponsors will also have the unique opportunity to purchase a discounted ticket package for the regular season home finale of the Thunder Hockey season (see enclosed for details). Fifty percent of the proceeds from the ticket packages will be donated to the Women's Center.

Serving as keynote speaker for the luncheon will be Michael Pritchard, a nationally acclaimed speaker known for his ability to use humor to inspire and educate his audiences. Michael's background as a stand-up comic, juvenile counselor, actor, and probation officer gives him a unique perspective and range of abilities. Michael has performed with comedy greats such as Robin Williams and Jerry , and has been featured on CNN, NBC's "The Today Show", "The Tonight Show", and in "Time" magazine and "People" magazine.

The Women's Center's luncheon has become a premier event in our community; each year more than 600 guests attend this event and the funds raised from the luncheon help support critical services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I am inviting you to be a part of this event as a Sponsor. Please be assured that all proceeds from the luncheon will be used to improve the lives of women, children and men in our community.

For over 33 years, the Women's Center has been serving the communities of San Joaquin County. Last year alone more than 30,000 individuals benefited from our services. The luncheon helps sustain life-saving services and shelters at no charge to clients, and raises the level of awareness in our community surrounding sexual assault and domestic violence.

Enclosed you will find sponsorship information, including sponsorship benefits and a confirmation form. We hope that you are able to join us at the 30th Annual Luncheon! If you should have any questions regarding the enclosed information or the luncheon, please contact Kate Macek, Development Director, at (209) 467-2334. "
