We are proud to honor our Millennium Award recipients, Jerry Sanders and Rana Sampson. They are being honored for years of engaged civic and volunteer involvement with the Park and our community. We have five wonderful Inspiration Award recipients, all extraordinary volunteers, each with a story to inspire you. Nominated by their peers, they were selected for their years of service and dedication in Balboa Park. We congratulate this year's honorees:

Julie Blyth ♦ San Diego Natural History Museum

Marjorie Keim-Lopez ♦ San Diego Civic Dance Arts

Lola Thomas ♦ San Diego Civic Dance Arts

Sandy Wright ♦ City of San Diego Park & Recreation

Jim Zemcik ♦ San Diego Floral Association

The Annual Awards Luncheon is a great time to reconnect with old friends, buy a chance to win a fabulous raffle prize, and enjoy lunch catered by The Prado. This year's theme: "San Diego: On the Eve of Greatness" inspires us to to capture the spirit of the city on the verge of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. San Diego was about to be transformed from a port city to becoming one of THE destinations for visitors coming to California. Come to this event to honor and celebrate the people who have helped make Balboa Park so special.
