The YLF Luncheon will be held at the Sacramento Convention Center, 3rd Floor. Located at 1400 J Street. Please arrive by 12pm.

The luncheon also provides valuable information and resources for their future.
The Youth Alumni Speaker will be Eddie Rea. Eddie is a winner of the National Council on Independent Living Centers 2009 Diana Vietz Memorial Award honoring young leaders who are promoting disability pride, spreading the independent living philosophy and fostering the active participation of youth with disabilities in the disabilities rights movement.
