On our club president's tail is the Alameda County District Attorney, Nancy O'Malley.
District Attorney O’Malley is a leader in victims’ rights and has led the charge for increased protections for victims through her legislative work. She is known nationally for her many innovative programs, including elder and child abuse, prescription drug fraud, and environmental violations.
DA O’Malley also created, pioneered, and developed a number of programs in Alameda County, including HEAT Watch - an anti-human-trafficking initiative that has become a national model. Over the last decade, her office has obtained restitution orders of over $125 million for victims of crime in Alameda County.
She's been a very busy woman!
116 - Community Service Award Recipient, Livermore Homeless Refuge
Our Community Service Award recipients this year, Donna and Bob McKenzie, founders of the Livermore Homeless Refuge, accepted the award on behalf of the volunteers who have worked to make the service a success for the past seven years.
Their goal is to provide a clean, dry, safe, and warm place for people who need a place to stay. Three local churches act as host on a rotating schedule, with weekends at the First Presbyterian Church.
Bob and Donna remind us that being homeless does not define a person; it only defines a condition.
Congratulations to you, Bob and Donna. You deserve this award – and our thanks for making our community a better place.
