Evening in the Heart of Alexandria
on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 6:30-9pm
A Dinner Gala Event at the Carlyle Club
Honoring
Nina Tisara of Living Legends
Brooke Curran of the Runningbrooke Fund
Evening in the Heart of Alexandria is a tribute to all who give from their hearts to volunteer in our city. Each year Volunteer Alexandria recognizes important members of our community who carry out extraordinary service, impacting the city as a whole. Join us this year as we honor two remarkable women who have served voluntarily in unique, original ways inspiring us all.
Awards Presented
2011 event chair is Vola Lawson, Alexandria's former City Manager, initiator of Alexandria’s Walk to Fight Breast Cancer, and namesake of Alexandria’s animal shelter, ably backed by a committee of volunteers dedicated to making this an evening to remember.
Nina Tisara, Director of Alexandria's Living Legends
will receive the Marian Van Landingham Lifetime Service Award.
Nina's love of photography and of the people of Alexandria led her to develop a photo history of people who became legends in their own time. The Living Legends project both chronicles and celebrates the personal contributions made by these leaders to improve lives in Alexandria.
Vola Lawson and Volunteer Alexandria are proud to bring Nina from behind the camera and into the spotlight to honor her as she so richly deserves!
Brooke Curran, Founder of the RunningBrooke Fund
will receive the Joan White Grassroots Volunteer Award.
Brooke's love of running provided her with her own unique way of giving back by donating her marathon proceeds to Alexandria nonprofits supporting a range of personally inspiring causes. For this one night lets get Runningbrooke to stop running and enjoy a dinner with friends, in her honor!
