2010 Annual Dinner

1,200 friends of Washington Policy Center packed the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue last week to hear renowned columnist Charles Krauthammer and honor State Auditor Brian Sonntag at WPC's Annual Dinner. 200 joined the event at the Lincoln Center in Spokane via live hi-def simulcast.

The crowd was hushed as keynote speaker Charles Krauthammer discussed the current political climate with his insightful analysis.

State Auditor Brian Sonntag, whom WPC honored with its 2010 Stanley O. McNaughton Champion of Freedom Award, spoke of his years in public service and praised WPC for its work promoting accountable, efficient, and transparent government.

Special thanks to Emcee Susan Hutchison for leading the event, and to all who made this WPC's best dinner yet!

Annual Dinner Spokane - Washington Policy Center’s premiere event was also broadcast live in Spokane!
