Beers and wine, as well as French press coffee and a variety of teas and soft drinks are available for purchase.
Tickets are $35, which includes the dinner and the concert. The dinner price has been discounted for this event, leaving $20 (the concert portion of the fee) and a percentage of beverage sales to go directly to Nepal earthquake relief via the International Rescue Committee.
There will also be a raffle drawing for a fine Nepalese pashmina (cashmere) shawl, and a beautiful scarf, donated by Tiffany Renee, proprietor of Pashm & Co of Petaluma. The proceeds will go to the relief fund.
Additional donations accepted with gratitude for this worthy cause. The Nepalese people are in need of continuous support to address the devastation of their entire infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, housing, and food sources. Monsoon rains have come now, and hundreds of thousands of people are without shelter.
