Economist to Speak at Luncheon
From a Times Staff Writer
About 1,600 real estate professionals are expected to attend the fifth annual George Smith Partners Real Estate Luncheon to benefit the A-T Medical Research Foundation.
The nonprofit foundation helps finance genetic research to find a cure for ataxia-telangiectasia, a degenerative and disabling neurological disorder. Smith’s daughter, Rebecca, has been diagnosed with the disease.
The luncheon will be held Nov. 3 at the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City. Anthony Downs, chief economist at the Brookings Institution, will speak on the California and the national real estate markets.
Those interested in attending should call (310) 557-8336.
