Held at the Washington State Convention Center, the 2010 OneAmerica Annual Dinner was attended by more than 700 people. The keynote speaker for the event was Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Center for Community Change.
Aaliyah Gupta from Chaya was the winner of the 2010 Stand for Justice Special Recognition Award for her community service and support of OneAmerica for many years.
The dinner raised $139,000, plus $24,300 in a matching grant, totaling $163,300. ♦
Any story about her is a good story. Aaliyah was stunning. A person I both admire and miss. It’s such a shame what happened to her. The original painting I own of her is well good and will be cherished forever!
