DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 3rd Annual Tribute Gala and Auction Benefiting the 
 International Rescue Committee in San Francisco on May 19th from 6 - 9 pm 
 at Museum of African Diaspora. The Gala features private museum access, a 
 champagne and hors d'oeuvres reception, Liberian dance and drums, and a 
 silent art auction of conflict zone photography by photojournalists Eros 
 Hoagland and James Lee.\n \nThe Tarlesson Family was resettled by the IRC 
 in San Francisco following unrest in Liberia. They now reside in the Capay 
 Valley, northwest of Sacramento.  In addition to being dancers, 
 percussionists and performers, they own and operate a family farm and are 
 known as the number one African vegetable and meat producers in Northern 
 California. \n \nEros Hoagland began working as a photojournalist in 1993, 
 covering the aftermath of El Salvador's civil war. He has since worked in 
 countries overwhelmed by violence and unrest across the globe including 
 Iraq, Haiti, Eritrea and Colombia. His work has appeared in TIME, Newsweek, 
 The New York Times, Men's Journal, Fader, FORTUNE, Forbes, and others.\n 
 \nJames Lee, a San Francisco based photographer and writer has worked 
 extensively throughout the Middle East and South Asia. He is also a U.S. 
 Marine Corps Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and traveled alongside 
 Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) near the border of Pakistan. His 
 resulting photo essay, Counter-Narratives, sensitively depicts the human 
 costs of protracted conflict and a ground-level perspective of ANSF 
 operations far from any US military presence.  James' work has been 
 featured on Salon.com and at The Museum of Ventura County. \n\nThanks to 
 the support of The IRC in San Francisco Advisory Committee and our generous 
 sponsors: The Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), Barefoot Wine and 
 Bubbly, Urban Picnic, Jude Sullivan Catering, Left Coast Catering and the 
 Junior League of San Francisco.\n
