San Francisco, CA (BlackNews.com) -- On May 6th, 2018, at the iconic Julia Morgan Ballroom located at 465 California Street, San Francisco CA, Maitri Compassionate Care (Maitri) will host its 31st annual Bliss Signature Gala & Auction. Hosted by Auctioneer Dale Johannes, the star-studded gala will pay tribute to Maitri's years of service towards the underprivileged living with advanced AIDS and also honoring former Executive Director Bill Musick and Kirsten Havrehed for their 20 years of service to the Maitri. Additionally, and in grand fashion, Maitri will be welcoming new Executive Director Anne Gimbel, M.A., LMFT, to the Maitri family."

Anne Gimbel brings, to Maitri, seasoned leadership experience with aging populations, and a proven track record of development success in the non-profit sector. We feel fortunate to have been able to attract such a talented, facilitative leader to the role. In welcoming Anne, I would like to thank Bill Musick for his 5 months of interim service. Bill completed several initiatives related to Maitri's commercial space and fund development plan that are key to supporting Maitri’s mission well into the foreseeable future." -- Michael Niemeyer, Maitri Compassionate Care, Board President
