Annual Banquet and Guest Speakers

Each June, the Earl Warren Inn has its end of the year dinner.  A guest speaker is invited to lecture or present a program on a topic of his or her choice. 

In 2013, we were immensely pleased and honored to have attorney Dale Minami as our guest banquet speaker.  Dale spoke of his experiences in the 1970s as one of the few asian and minority attorneys practicing in Alameda County, and key figures from the bench and bar of that era.  He then tied it into the 1982 lawsuit he was involved in seeking to overturn convictions from WWII of Japanese-Americans (U.S. Citizens) who were convicted for resisting the curfews and mass imprisonment of Japanese-American in relocation camps.  See feature immediately to the right. ->

For 2012, the guest speaker was California Associate Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, who shared his seemingly random path to the state's highest court, after rebelling against his parents wishes that he become a doctor.

For 2011, Earl Warren Inn member Catherine Ongiri shared her experience visiting England as one of two Pegasus Scholars from the USA.

The banquet evening includes a silent auction of donated items which have included unique jewelry, wine, box tickets to the San Francisco Giants, and a Louis Vuitton briefcase.  Proceeds go to scholarships and other good causes.

Finally, the high school recipients of our D. Lowell Jensen scholarships are announced, and awarded to the students.
