The Women of Dedication is one of San Diego’s longest running charity events. Each spring, The Salvation ArmyWomen’s Auxiliary hosts a lavish luncheon where twelve of the community’s most dedicated volunteers are honored and thanked for their gifts of time, talent and spirit. This year’s Chairs Sandra Maas, Judy Burer and Vicki Eddy spearheaded the luncheon where all proceeds benefited the homeless of San Diego.
The event was attended by many notable community members, including Joan Embery, Andrea Naversen, Sherry Ahern, Tamara Lafarga Joseph, Marilyn Fletcher, Joyce Glazer, Sara Napoli, Ellen Moxham, Dee Ammon, Laura Applegate, Marjan Mortazavi, Mary Alice Brady, and Joyce Dostart, who gathered to celebrate the honorees and support The Salvation Army’s mission.
