We were fortunate enough to attend a weekend full of events sponsoring the Cure Autism Now organization. We attended a lovely cocktail party Saturday night at actress Patricia Heaton's home in Los Angeles (and dinner afterwards at The Belvedere inside The Peninsula Hotel - fantastic!). Sunday night, we went to the 10th anniversary gala for the organization held at our hotel (The Regent Beverly Wilshire) during which Anthony Edwards, Dr. Ricki Robinson, Frank Del Olmo (posthumously) and Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek were honored.
It was fun "rubbing elbows" with the celebrities - Mary McCormack, Ed Asner, Debra Messing, Treat Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Annette Bening, Vern Yip, Dana Delany, Catherine O'Hara, John Spencer, Ed Asner, Kristin Chenoweth, Bo Welch, Michael Chiklis, Catherine O'Hara, Steven Weber and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa... The highlight for me, though, was hearing the personal stories shared by other parents of Autistic children and not just the hope - but the confidence - that the Cure Autism Now people have that a cure will be found within the next 10 years.
General Motors has signed on to be a corporate sponsor of the organization and, for that, I'm thrilled.

How cool that must have been...I've never even seen a real live celebrity, lol. :)
A cure in the next 10 years? Wouldn't that be wonderful?
