In what has become a real local tradition, the publishers of The Malibu Times and founders of the Dolphin Foundation, Arnold and Karen York, hosted the 26th annual Dolphin Awards and brunch on Sunday, Feb. 21 at Malibu West Beach Club. This year, 11 awards were given out.
Coordinator Mary Higgins organized the event, which offered a selection of food from Jennifer Naylor Catering as well as wine from Malibu Family Wines. Decorations were provided from Malibaloons and Cosentino’s.
The award winners are selected through a nomination process; people are encouraged to write letters to The Malibu Times, nominating someone and explaining why they deserve to win.
Among the hundreds in attendance at the awards were all five city council members, State Assemblyman Richard Bloom, Asst. Fire Chief Anthony Williams, State Senate candidate Henry Stern, Scott Houston of the West Basin Municipal Water District, and representatives from the offices of Ted Lieu, Sheila Kuehl and Fran Pavley.
A previous Dolphin Award winner presents each Dolphin Award.
