2008 Blackhawk Celebrity Extravaganza Join us for a “Night with the Stars” to pay tribute to the work of Community Violence Solutions. Meet and interact with engaging, entertaining celebrity impersonators of the silver screen as we enjoy star sightings in Blackhawk Museum, where casual car buffs and serious collectors view American and European classic automobiles. All attendees will enjoy dinner, music by Duo Gadjo, silent and live auctions, opportunities to view vintage autos, mingle with impersonators, and play our “Celeb Reveal” trivia game. “Icon” and “Legend” level sponsors will have photo opportunities in a VIP private reception, podium time with celebrities…and more. So join in on the fun and celebrate the star sightings as the papparazi are in hot pursuit of these entertaining guests. We are honored to have Ann Notarangelo, CBS 5’s Eye witness News Weekend Edition anchor, serve as Mistress of Ceremonies. For sponsorship information or to donate towards silent/live auction,contact Sheryl Sturges (event@cvsolutions.org ) or (925) 372-9431. View the most recent edition of Voices, the CVS newsletter.

The unpopular verdict became an international symbol of myth-based injustice for sexual assault victims.
