The NLG-LA Winter Awards Party, on December 1, 2018, honored some of our longtime Guild members who have been with the Guild for four to five decades and have built it into what it is today. More than one hundred friends of the Guild came together to celebrate the rich history of the chapter. This was the first in a series of events honoring our many longtime members.
