Thank You to Everyone Who Attended and Supported Lifehouse’s Annual Picnic!
On July 18, clients, staff, family and friends gathered on a gorgeous, sunny day at Corte Madera Town Park for Lifehouse’s Annual Picnic. This year’s picnic was luau themed with guests sporting leis, Hawaiian shirts and relaxed island attitudes. Picnic goers enjoyed an extra special treat this year with award-winning competitive barbeque master Chef Jim Modesitt and his team from Big Jim’s BBQ serving up smiles and scrumptious food, including pulled pork sandwiches and barbecue chicken. Energetic magician Heather Rogers returned once again this year to entertain guests with her amazing, up close magic. Guests also enjoyed volleyball, a water balloon toss and fun pictures with a surfboard. Thank you to our raffle donors: Applebee’s, Cinemark Rowland Movie Theater, Fifi’s Diner, High Tech Burrito, Round Table Pizza, Scandia Family Fun Center, Silbermann’s Ice Cream, Sonoma County Fair and Wipeout Bar & Grill. Special thanks to our volunteers and donors, Paula Rieck, Jim Corbet’s Ace Hardware, CostCo, Scotty’s Market, Trader Joe’s and United Market whose generous support helped to make the day fun for all. Mahalo!
