The 2013 Antelope Valley benefit dinner was held on Friday, March 8, 2013 at the John P. Eliopulos Hellenic Center in Lancaster. The CASA Child Advocacy Award was presented to Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich by CASA Executive Director Dilys Tosteson Garcia. Supervisor Antonovich has represented the Fifth Supervisorial District since 1980.
One hundred twenty people attended to support CASA’s work in the Antelope Valley. Lancaster City Councilmember Sandra Johnson served as the emcee. The Joshua Elementary School Chorus performed.
