Ann McEntee and the Friends of Human Relations were joined by supporters on April 20, 2018 at our seventh annual Jim McEntee Scholarship Fundraiser and Celebration. Special guest speaker was Ken Yeager, Santa Clara County Supervisor, District 4. Supervisor Ken Yeager is a former San Jose Evergreen Community College Board member, former SJSU professor, and currently the leading public health advocate on the Board of Supervisors. He worked closely with Jim McEntee over a twenty year period and spoke on Jim’s legacy on civil rights and diversity in Santa Clara County.

Guests enjoyed appetizers and desserts provided by Casa Vicky restaurant, music by Lisa Sanchez, popular Bay Area jazz and pop guitarist and vocalist, and a preview of the very best of contemporary Latino art from MACLA’s 20th Annual Auction on display in the gallery.
