Non-profit organization – AOJAH – launch first annual gala at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel on Saturday, November 5th at 6 p.m.

The central theme of the highly anticipated launch of AOJAH was “making a difference” through community services and giving.

Census outreach did not draw “the same kind of zeal or participation at any level” from Bay View’s predominantly African American population as it did from nonprofits based elsewhere in the city, according to Angelo King, chairman of the Bay View-Hunters Point Project Area Committee.
