'Champions for Youth' Annual Breakfast
The 'Champions for Youth' Annual Breakfast for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Conejo & Las Virgenes was an exciting 'friendraiser' event where invited guests heard powerful messages from dynamic speakers and learned how the Boys & Girls Clubs makes a powerful impact with the youth of our community...all while enjoying a complimentary breakfast.
This year, we were proud to have Master of Ceremonies, Sheriff Geoff Dean guide us through the morning's event and share about the important partnership between the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Sheriff's Department. In addition, Best Selling Author and TV Personality, Heide Banks shared valuable wisdom on key relationship building concepts to keep in mind with children, family members, colleagues and business partners.
Check out the photos below to see some of the highlights of the morning...
