Edward James Olmos, a community activist and actor currently playing the role of Admiral Adama in television’s Battlestar Galactica, will be the keynote speaker at Hopelink’s 13th annual fundraising luncheon on Monday, Oct. 20.

Olmos will share his perspectives and personal experience with building community and addressing community needs in a presentation entitled “We’re All in the Same Gang.”

Hopelink’s 2007 luncheon raised more than $1 million to fund its more than 40 services for families, children and senior citizens living in poverty.

The luncheon will be from noon to 1:15 p.m. at the Meydenbauer Center. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. Hopelink does not charge a fee to attend the luncheon, but during the luncheon program, guests will be asked to make a donation to support Hopelink’s services.
