Kicking Off A Campaign
Photographs by Sarah Ruby
When InnVision celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Georgia Travis Center on Feb. 3, supporters remembered and looked ahead as they gathered at the Commercial Street site of the proposed expanded facility. Among the speakers, as InnVision kicked off its capital campaign for the new center, were members of the Los Gatos­Saratoga branch of the American Association of University Women, which helped establish the center, and Junior League of San Jose, which initiated and headed up the original drive for the shelter. Junior League recently pledged $25,000 to the capital campaign.
