Take a step back into the Old West with Alzheimer’s Family Services Center’s 9th Annual “A Gathering of Friends…” at the Westin South Coast Plaza on May 14, 2009! This year the annual fund raiser pays tribute to Don Killian, a noted attorney and long-time resident of Orange County, who is currently a participant at AFSC. In addition, Orange County philanthropists, Tom and Pat McDaniel, are being honored as the Distinguished Friends of 2009 for their generous support of the Center and all it offers families dealing with the problems of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
This year, AFSC is proud to announce that Dave Stamey will be performing at A Gathering of Friends. Cowboys and Indians Magazine has called him “the Charley Russell of Western Music.” Dave Stamey has been a cowboy, a mule packer, a dude wrangler, and is now one of the most popular Western entertainers working today. He has been twice voted Entertainer of the Year, three times Male Performer of the Year and twice Songwriter of the Year by the Western Music Association, and received the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists. He has delighted audiences in fourteen states, and finds that he prefers this to being stomped by angry horses. “We are thrilled that Stamey will be performing at our event. He will make a special evening that much more memorable,” stated Cordula Dick-Muehlke, Ph.D., Executive Director of AFSC.
