West Hollywood’s Russian-language speaking community celebrated International Women’s Day on Saturday at an event organized by the city’s Russian Advisory Board.
The event at West Hollywood Park Auditorium included a performance by the Osh-Bank with Shawn and Alik Oshmiansky, the Beverly Hills International Ballroom Dance Studio and winners of the ‘Colibri Competition, and Flamenco Show.
City Councilmember Lauren Meister and Stephanie Harker, a community activist known for her advocacy for the city’s Eastside, each was honored with a Woman of the Year Award for Community Service.
The city’s Russian Advisory Board provides information on issues relating to the planning, development and coordination of services to the Russian-speaking community and makes recommendations to the City Council relative to the adoption of programs, policies or ordinances of benefit to the Russian-speaking community.
Congratulations to both Lauren Meister and Stephanie Harker for this well-deserved recognition. Both of them are wonderful role models and tireless advocates for our residents.
Why is there a “Russian Advisory Board” in West Hollywood?
Congratulations to both ladies! Both well deserved.
Congratulations Lauren and Stephanie! Well deserved honor.
Congrats for all you both do. Two honest brokers who love West Hollywood.
Simply echoing Larry! Those who might dismiss the power of women who care should follow these two ladies on their rounds.
