Our story begins with the Page 4 Reunion Committee, a beloved group founded by Deon Delor, who had the vision to bring together Los Angeles’ nightlife family — bartenders, servers, owners, and patrons who shaped the city’s social soul. What started as a reunion of industry friends quickly grew into something powerful — a movement to preserve our shared history and honor those who made it legendary.
Years later, under the leadership of Deborah Curry, that same spirit evolved into what is now the Legendary Bartenders Association of Los Angeles. Keeping Deon’s original heartbeat alive, we expanded the mission — turning fellowship into formal recognition, and good times into community impact.
From backyard gatherings to ballroom galas, from heartfelt tributes to professional empowerment, our legacy continues to grow. What began as a reunion is now a registered nonprofit dedicated to honoring excellence, uplifting the industry, and keeping our stories alive.
