Coming Up In Healdsburg: Fundraiser for West Africa Clean Water Project

Submitted by Richard Kagel:

The community is invited to a West African themed fundraiser at the Villa Chanticleer on March 28 at 5:30 pm to raise funds for the Clean Water Project in Guinea Bissau.

The Clean Water Project in Guinea Bissau is a collaborative effort that includes the Healdsburg High School Interact Club, Sunrise Rotary, Noontime Rotary, and Kiwanis.

The Healdsburg Community Church is spearheading the effort to raise money to build a small factory in Guinea-Bissau to make water filters for use in individual homes, schools and orphanages. Construction on the factory has begun and proceeds from the benefit will help in its completion.

The event will include dinner, wine, and live music. Guinean Chef Alfredo will prepare a dinner of traditional West African food.

Healdsburg native Steve Pile, an expert in West African music, will perform on the guitar and the kora, a West African harp.

Tickets are $65 per person and can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com or by contacting Rena Harold, 707-975-7011.
