The Santa Monica Jaycees has announced that tickets are now on sale for its annual gala, to be held on Saturday, Aug. 23 at Shutters On The Beach.

For the ninth consecutive year, the 2003 Santa Monica Jaycees Gala will honor three distinguished professionals from Santa Monica in the fields of education, fire-fighting and law enforcement. The award recipients, who must be nominated by their peers and colleagues, are evaluated on the basis of individual excellence in and personal commitment to community service.

“The gala is the premier showcase in Santa Monica for young professionals committed to the ongoing development of our community’s youth and well-being through an array of impactful and results-driven service programs,” said Bob Cornish, president of the Santa Monica Jaycees. “This affair is designed to honor these local leaders who not only excel in their respective professions, but also work tirelessly to create a better future for the children and city of Santa Monica.”

This year’s theme, “Making Waves In Santa Monica,” reflects the formal affair’s scenic beachfront venue at Shutters On The Beach, as well as the Jaycees’ ongoing dedication to “making waves” through positive contributions to the community.

In addition to the awards program, attendees will enjoy a no-host bar, hors d’oeu-vres, a sumptuous sit-down dinner, an evening of music and dancing, and a silent auction of items provided by area businesses and vendors. The event begins at 6 p.m. with a cocktail reception on the hotel’s patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Shutters On The Beach is located on the beach at 1 Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica.

The Santa Monica Jaycees is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of individual leadership skills through community service.
