On Sunday, March 25, from 4:00pm-7:00pm at the Boys and Girls Club of Napa Valley, you can do two simple things to help end hunger in Napa County:
Join other caring members of our community to share a simple meal of soup and bread and learn how you can help to end hunger in Napa County.
Enjoy three bowls of savory soups prepared by some of Napa Valley's finest chefs, and take home a keepsake bowl handcrafted by a Napa or Vintage High School ceramics student.
The event will also feature a raffle for locally crafted handmade ceramic art and gourmet food and wine products. All proceeds will benefit the Food Bank of Napa Valley and other agencies dedicated to providing hunger relief in Napa County.
This EMPTY BOWLS event is being coordinated by my LNV, Class 20 practicum group.
Your $25.00 ticket price will feed a hungry family for two days!!

As I am hoping that this will be a community blog, consider this an open invitation: in order for the information on this site to end up being vital, it will need more than one person working on it. This blog needs writers.
Are you tapped in to what kids are doing here in Napa? Do you have thoughts/ideas you want to share with the community?
If so, post a comment here. or send an email to me. I promise I will get back to you!

I moved back here in August from the East Bay. I had grown accustomed to Berkeley Parents' Network, PRAM, and so many other community resources that I could find within a couple of clicks, and I was seriously bummed that I couldn't find similar resources here.
I knew immediately that I would end up doing something, and my first bet was to start a Yahoo Group. Maybe that is not a bad idea, I started a couple in Richmond (Richmond Garden Club, Richmond Politics) with varying degrees of success. In the end, I don't feel that they had the reach that I wish they had. Syndicating with a blog is simpler, and there are sites such as Outside.in which link locales to content which will become more and more powerful as people engage.
I hope to talk about a few things on this blog, all related to kids and families.
There might be more that creep in, or some that are nixed over time, but you get the idea.
