The Pleasanton Community of Character Collaborative invites you to the 15th annual Community of Character luncheon honoring the Juanita Haugen Community of Character award winners. The luncheon takes place on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at the Veterans Memorial Building, 301 Main Street, Pleasanton at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $45 per person.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided including:
Salads from Around the World provided by Village High School Culinary Class
Desserts provided by Amador Valley High School Culinary
Come celebrate our award winners!
Recipients to be honored at the luncheon: TBD
These awards were established in 2008 to recognize Pleasanton citizens who model high ethical and moral standards of behavior and are dedicated volunteers contributing their time to our community. Candidates for this award should exhibit traits chosen by the Citizens of Pleasanton and Advocated by the Collaborative: Compassion, Honesty, Respect, Integrity, Self-Discipline, and Responsibility.
This award is named in honor of a longtime community volunteer and Pleasanton Unified School District Board Member, Juanita Haugen. Haugen, a co-founder of the Pleasanton Community of Character program, believed that part of Pleasanton's success is due to its compassionate citizens, folks who exhibit good character traits and those people who volunteer throughout our community. Her vision was to remind people to model ethical standards of behavior within their communities, businesses, homes and to extend these traits outside our community as they travel and meet other people throughout the world.
There will be drawings at the luncheon to raise funds for the Juanita Haugen Community of Character Scholarships.
