ABOUT THE EVENT
 

An Evening with Women is an annual event that raises much-needed funds for the women-specific services of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. This year's event, held for the second year in the posh International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, will be steeped in rock 'n' roll chic and include a hosted reception, dinner, star-studded show and auction of unique, exclusive and exotic items. (Special room rates have been arranged for this event.)

L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center programs and services supported by An Evening with Women include women's health and medical, legal assistance, domestic violence prevention & education, cultural programs, self-enrichment courses, social events and discussion groups.
