For Orlando: An Evening of Tribute
Written By Atiosis Blanco
Big thanks to R-House Wynwood for hosting SAVE's farewell event for our former Executive Director, Orlando Gonzales! There were laughter, tears, and great performances from Carla Bordonada, special guest The Juicy Love with support from DJ Eddie, and a great video of photo memories of Orlando's tenure as E.D. of SAVE! Wonderful moving speeches from new SAVE Executive Director Todd Demay, SAVE's Chair Joe Peña, SAVE member Jonathan Freidin, Liebe Gadinsky, SAVE's former deputy director Justin Klecha, County Commissioner Eileen Higgins, Former State Rep. David Richardson, Commissioner Tanya Bhatt, Commissioner Alex Fernandez, and AHF's Ebonni Chrispin! The night was a beautiful and fitting celebration of our beloved leader's contributions.
