ART SHOW FUNDRAISER
April 26, 2008
 The
event began with Starbucks coffee and homemade food, including
samosas, Edith’s apricot bread and Alma’s famous
lumpia! Homemade lemonade was also served, lovingly made
by our participants using locally grown Meyer lemons from
Cristina’s tree. Very refreshing on such a sunny,
warm day…so refreshing that our volunteers brought
pitchers out to the soccer field to sell. Our guests enjoyed
soothing sounds of Ivan’s guitar on the deck while
enjoying the array of potted plants for sale from our Master
Gardeners, Karen Halvorsen and Patricia Compton.
At 1:00pm, Music Medicine Love, a talented duo, offered
their heartfelt songs while guests viewed our art collection.
If you would like to check out their sounds, their website
is musicmedicinelove.com. The music continued with Jazz
Roots, another talented duo, who brought their sophisticated
and warm sounds, transforming our Center into a Jazz club!
For those who loved their music and would like to purchase
their CD, contact us and we will hook you up. And, Shay
surprised us by singing a beautiful Brazilian tune.
The day concluded with a raffle drawing, mc’d by Midge,
with Patricia presenting the prizes to the winners. Participants
were honored to draw the winning tickets and everyone was
pleasantly surprised when Sage, Midge’s dog won a
gift certificate at the bakery. We know Sage will enjoy
this prize!
Special thank yous are extended to all who attended and
the volunteers listed below, who contribute their time,
energy and enthusiasm to support us. Without our volunteers,
our programs would not be as successful or as fun! We look
forward to seeing everyone next year at our second annual
