FALL / WINTER 2009

First Annual ‘ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WILD’ Fundraising Event held April 19, 2009

The sun was shining and Silos Club in downtown Napa was booming with spectacular auction items, gourmet food, and live music!

The first annual ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WILD fundraising event took place on Sunday, April 19, 2009. The event was held to raise funds for a permanent facility for the Wildlife Rescue Center of Napa County (WRCNC). Currently without a home, WRCNC is looking for a land site to build on, or a site with land and buildings that may be appropriate for use.

ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WILD was a rousing success attracting a captive audience of over 150 friends and over $28,000 to establish the WRCNC capital fund for a new home and center. Dalan Thomas tamed the crowd with his classic guitar while wine and sparkling refreshments flowed. A lively auction ensued with Marty and Barbara Nemko as the Master and Mistress of Ceremonies. A sumptuous faire was served with dancing to the Heartbeats and Kith and Kin that got the party on their feet and onto the dance floor.

The Honorary Committee was chaired by U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson with committee members: U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, California State Senator Patricia Wiggins, California Assemlywoman Noreen Evans, the Napa County Board of Supervisors – Brad Wagenknecht, Mark Luce, Diane Dillon, Bill Dodd and Keith Caldwell, Cynthia Saucermann – Mayor of Yountville, Jack Gingles – Mayor of Calistoga, AllenFish – Director Golden Gate Raptor Observatory and Jay Holcomb – Director International Bird Rescue and Research.

The list of sponsors included: Andrews and Thornley Construction Inc., Keith Caldwell – Napa County Supervisor and Peri Dean, California Wine Tours Inc., Capital Access Group – A Premier SA Lender, David and Christine Crawford, Julie D. Dickson, Richard and Carol Eyheralde, Peter A. & Vernice H. Gasser Foundation, Kathryn Oates, Martin Estate Winery, Napa Nuts Inc., Lisa Togni, Historic Napa Mill – Napa River Inn, Christina Nelson in memory of Marjorie Danver, Network for Good – Anonymous Donor, Pauli Systems – Integrated Surface Finishing Systems, Your Home Nursing Services and Westamerica Bank.

Over one hundred thirty donors gave generously of their products and services for the auction (please go our website at www.napawildliferescue.org for a full list of donors).

We are excited to announce the second annual All My Friends Are Wild, that promises to be more uproarious than ever!
