Rotary Club of Santa Rosa West held its annual Crab Feast and part of the event benefited The Living Room! This phenomenal organization had a paddle raise at the event that resulted in $24,000 for us. THANK YOU to The Rotary Club and everyone who raised their paddle. It’s a great start toward the commercial kitchen project being planned for our newly purchased property that will become our new HOME BASE later this year!
Healdsburg held a beautiful event at their store to benefit The Living Room. Music, food, wine, and raffle were enjoyed by their lady customers and members of TLR. THANK YOU to owner Jennifer Merletti Penrose for graciously organizing this fun benefit that brought us $2,360 for the homeless women and children we serve!
Our Annual Christmas luncheon for the women and children at The Living Room was a beautiful sight to see. Volunteers prepared and served a delicious meal, and lots of gifts were given to the children and teens. The visit from Santa included photos of the children sitting on his lap. It was wonderful to see smiles on so many faces.
THANK YOU to all our great volunteers and donors who braved the weather to help us with donations and yummy cookies. Many gift items and cash donations were collected in our parking lot by our volunteer elves and our freinds from Marmot. Everyone had a great time! A special thank you to Santa Tim for dropping by to greet everyone! Be sure to put this “national giving day” on your calendar for next year!
THANK YOU to First Presbyterian Church of Santa Rosa, for hosting a free concert performed by Trio Céleste. The exciting program featured works of Ludwig van Beethoven. Trio Céleste is one of the best young chamber groups around today. Violinist Iryna Krechkovsky, cellist Ross Gasworth, and pianist Kevin Kwan Loucks combined to form an exciting, dynamic and intelligent ensemble. It was a wonderful evening. Thank you to everyone who attended and made a donation to The Living Room.
THE 2ND ANNUAL PASTA PARTY FOR THE LIVING ROOM WAS held, and it was very successful! A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers and guests who made it so much fun! We’re grateful to our generous supporters for helping The Living Room raise funds to continue its mission assisting homeless women and children overcome adversity.
