San Luis Obispo High Band Event

Subject: First Annual SLO Kitchen Tour

The SLO High School Band Boosters is putting on the "Be Our Guest" SLO Kitchen Tour,
Saturday - May 9 - 10:00 am to 3pm
Imagine a home tour with the focus on kitchens: design, materials, layout, and style. We found generous people who loved the idea of showing off their kitchens! Most of the kitchens open up to a patio or garden space where snacks will be served. This is what you will see:

· We have John and Debbie Spatafore’s downtown house (Garden and Pacific) with fabulous are and color in the kitchen. (You may have wondered what the inside of the house looks like if you have seen it from across the street at Dr. DeVincenzo’s office)!

· Pierre Rademaker’s meticulously restored 1920’s Craftsman home, with a very authentic vintage kitchen.

· A wonderful Warren Leopol d home, owned by the Irving family in Ferrini Heights, with a natural wood kitchen filled with light, outside access, and views. Feels like Big Sur.

· 1997 SLO High Grad Ben Kulick’s newly remodeled Monterey Heights home where everything is controlled by a computer. (It is a very minimalist, high tech kitchen. Men love this one!) His architect and his cabinet maker are his buddies from SLO High!

· A kitchen on Poinsettia in a cozy home where the owners have created a great atmosphere in a narrow space without views. Lots to learn here!

· And, a large, authentic country French-inspired kitchen in an impressive Varian Ranch home, where the dogs run in and out.

The tour is a Mother’s Day treat. $20 per ticket (che cks made out to SLOIMBA). The fund raiser will help the band with expenses relating to travel for competitions, and upkeep of uniforms and instruments, etc. (SLOIMBA is the San Luis Obispo Instrumental Music Booster’s Association).

Only 300 tickets will be sold.

Call Natalie at 235-6360.

Camp Ocean Pines

If you are interested in donating money to help local families send their kids to an overnight camp at Camp Ocean Pines (www.campoceanpines.org) in Cambria, they need you. Janette Stoll works there p/t as their marketing coordinator and gets a lot of calls from local families asking for partial to full scholarships for camp. Camp Ocean Pines is already a nonprofit, so they don't have a bounty of funds. The director offers a significant discount to help certain families, but still, kids who have never experienced camp are turned away! The camp serves children in the age ranges of 8-15; perhaps you know someone who would like to attend?

The ORIGINAL Womenade

This is the website of the original Womenade on which we are based. I have written them for advice on the need to be an incorporated nonprofit.

Hearst Cancer Resource Center

I attended a presentation last night about the Hearst Cancer Resource
Center. The center has been open for one year and provides a multitude
of free services (nurse navigator, support programs, nutritional
coaching, alternative practices, social activities, resource library)
for cancer patients, survivors and their families.
I was so moved and impressed by the presentation that I want to let
everyone know about the center. I thought you could pass the
information along through your Womenade network. (The director would
also be a good speaker for Womenade or other groups.)
