San Francisco New Generations recently held its 8th Annual Benefit at the downtown club Vessel, drawing 160 people and raising over $30K.  The theme this year was "NIF:  An Oasis of Social Change" and our program highlighted NIF achievements over the past year and featured desert-themed displays.  The atmosphere was festive, culminating with the benefit raffle.  The evening left newcomers intrigued and veteran New Gen-ers feeling good about NIF and wanting to stay involved.
