Honors 26th Anniversary at Annual Celebration
Annual Fundraiser on May 22, 2007 at Grand Ballroom of Hilton San Francisco Will Feature Designer Dollhouse Auction and Presentation of Second Annual Community Service Award
SAN FRANCISCO — The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) will throw itself a 26th Annual Birthday Dinner on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. at the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton San Francisco. Hosted by co-chairs, mother and daughter Jean and Cameron Phleger, the annual TNDC celebration will raise funds for its efforts to preserve and provide permanent, affordable housing and supportive services to low-income individuals and families.
At this year’s Annual Birthday Dinner, the Reverend Glenda Hope will receive the second Brother Kelly Cullen Community Service Award, named for TNDC’s former executive director. The Reverend Hope is a well-known figure in the Tenderloin who tirelessly ministers to the poor, sick and dying through her organization, Network Ministries. With compassion for all Tenderloin residents, and a strong calling to remember the forgotten, the Reverend Hope has been holding memorial services for Tenderloin residents for more than 30 years – ensuring that all pass on with dignity and grace.“
The Annual Birthday Dinner will kick off with a reception and a silent auction of spectacular designer dollhouses specially designed by San Francisco’s most talented architects.
