Stephen Pollak '50 Honored by Dartmouth Club of D.C.

Just in from the Dartmouth Club of the District of Columbia:

The 18th Annual Daniel Webster Distinquished Service Award Dinner is coming up this Saturday, April 16, 2005 at the Freedom Forum in Arlington, Virginia at 7:00pm. The Webster Dinner is the Club's premier event of the year. This year, the Club will honor Stephen J. Pollak '50 for his unmatched record of leadership and personal commitment to programs of social justice and anti-discrimination in Washington. He was Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the late 60's, President of the D.C. Bar, and is a founder of the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs. He has tirelessly promoted better access to legal representation by under-served members of our Washington community.

If you are not already on the list of alumni registered to attend, here's what one local alumnus had to say about last year's event:

"I'd like to share my experience at the Webster Dinner in 2004. After several years of living in the Washington area, I attended the dinner for the first time last year. The evening began as my wife and I mingled with alums on the terrace at the top of the Freedom Forum; as the sun descended over Washington, we were treated to the most magnificent view of our majestic city that I have ever seen. As we later ate a sumptuous meal and heard a rousing speech from the evening's honoree, Susan Dentzer '77, we were reminded once again of the remarkable company we keep as alumni of Dartmouth, and how powerful connections to the College on the Hill can be. Of course, my wife and I will not be hesitating to sign up again this year!"

Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday!

Best wishes,

Derek Symer '90, VP Dartmouth Club of Washington, D.C.
