The annual ECCO dinner is coming up soon, on Sep. 23. This year’s dinner should be especially poignant given the recent reversal of Prop. 8, which elated us all until it was stayed pending an appeal.
Here are the event details:
ECCOPAC, one of California’s oldest LGBT Political Action Committees, invites you to join us for our 27th Annual Community HERO Awards Dinner at the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa.
This event, attended by 300+ of Southern California’s most active LGBT community members, suporters and activists, is an opportunity for us to honor our community HEROs from politics, community advocates, arts & entertainment, education, and businesses.
This year ECCOPAC honors:
- ECCOPAC Arts & Entertainment HERO Award: Crystal Chappell, star of NBC-TV’s “Days of Our Lives” and star, co-creator and co-writer of the web series, “Venice”, and Kim Turrisi, co-creator and co-writer of the web series “Venice”
