From - NewYorkSocialDiary.com

Chair Robert Callan, Jr., Madeleine K. Albright with her daughter Katie Albright and Anne Symon Dr. Madeleine K. Albright, the former ambassador to the U.N. and Secretary of State, was the keynote speaker for a luncheon for the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center. She came on behalf of both the cause and her daughter, Katie Albright, the Center’s Executive Director. "Being a mother is actually excellent training for high level diplomacy,” Dr. Albright said. “Negotiating with children about playground rules and bedtimes isn’t so different from trying to broker peace in the Middle East – except that, with children, the tantrums are less frequent and do not last for two thousand years." Timed to coincide with Child Abuse Prevention Month, which aims to raise community awareness of child abuse and neglect, the luncheon, the 12th Annual Blue Ribbon benefit, was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The 35-year-old Center is located in an historic Haight-Ashbury firehouse. It had the first TalkLine crisis and counseling line in the country. Its volunteers are available 24/7 and field more than 13,500 calls yearly. Dr. Albright was named ambassador to the U.N. in l993 and appointed by President Clinton to be Secretary of State in 1997, the first female to hold the post. Emcee Cheryl Jennings, the Emmy-Award-winning co-anchor of ABC affiliate KGO-TV, introduced Dr. Albright and interviewed her on air. The author of three best-selling books, fluent in French, Czech and Russian, Dr. Albright currently serves as a distinguished professor at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Washington D.C. Although the pre-luncheon buzz was that President Obama might appoint Dr. Albright Ambassador to France, she dispelled the rumor in a TV appearance on “The Late Late Show” the evening before. Kudos to the luncheon co-chairs, Robert Callan, Jr. and Anne Symon, for setting records with this event. It was the Center’s best-attended and raised the most money ever — $300,000. Especially noteworthy in this economy. One of the organization's founder's, Linda Cannon, said most guests at her table were so inspired that they made on-the-spot additional donations and vowed to return next year to support this worthy cause.
