A Word From the Host

Welcome, dear friends

Fifty years of grace (debatable), laughter (undeniable), brilliance (but of course, it's Anitha) and boundless heart (how can you not love that) — this weekend is our chance to celebrate the woman who makes every room brighter simply by entering it. We have gathered our closest people in one of San Diego's most spectacular settings for a weekend that is as extraordinary as Anitha herself. Come ready to celebrate, to connect, and to create memories that will last another fifty years.

— With so much love
