Calling all Rotary Clubs of District 5240
Mental illness touches all of us to some degree within our close friend and family circles. The Alma Rosa Winery in Buellton has announced its sixth annual fundraiser to support mental wellness: Peace of Mind: 10,000 Steps in the Right Direction on Saturday, May 17. The funds raised from this 4.5 mile walk through the rolling hills of the exclusive Alma Rosa Vineyards will be shared by Mental Wellness Center (MWC) and One Mind.
One Mind (www.onemind.org) advances cutting-edge neuropsychiatric research, bettering diagnostic tools and treatments for brain health conditions. The MWC (www.mentalwessnesscenter.org) serves individuals and families impacted by mental illness through 1) interactive fellowship for adults living with mental challenges, 2) housing, and 3) extensive mental health education.
At the walk’s conclusion, participants will enjoy wine tasting of five Santa Ynez Valley wineries, blues/rag music by Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan, and food for purchase.
The “Rotary Challenge”: a chance to win a wine-tasting party for 25 at the Vineyard’s Ranch House! Register your Rotary Club members (friends/family too!) as a Rotary Team, and each team member will be represented in a raffle drawing for Rotary-Teams-only. The more members, the better your chances!
Cost is $50 if registered by 4/14, $60 thereafter. Can’t make the entire route? No worries, take it at your own pace and distance.
Contact Yvonne Pedersen (805-705-4887) with questions on registering your team. For general information, visit the MWC website and select “Learn More” on the top carousel screen when presented with the Walk.
