The honorees are Catherine Tambini - the Director of "Farmingville", Vic and Charlotte - Founders and Directors of the Cinema Arts Centre and David Kilmnick - the Founder and Director of Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth.
Our honorees have all made a major difference in the rights that underlies individuality, expression, openness, association, speech and protest.
