In two weeks, CV Stonewall will be holding their 3rd annual Central Valley Stonewall Leadership Award Luncheon & Fundraiser. The theme of this year's fundraiser will be Celebrating Progress: Do Ask, Do Tell and will feature esteemed guest speaker, Commander Zoe Dunning, the first and only openly gay person allowed to remain on active duty in the military prior to the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
