March 13th, 2010: We will just call this "THE PARTY". It will be held at Little Switzerland.  Catered by our very own Karen Taylor of Primavera who is donating all of the food and services—her way of saying what a great organization to support. This is a “must” event! Many of you have already purchased your tickets (thanks), but if you haven’t, please email us today. We have plenty of room and at a $100.00 person, what a great way to start the new year -- supporting La Luz!

La Luz Center has most succesful "Noche de Luna" event in its history!

On Sunday evening October 4th, with clear skies the La Luz Center held its seventh annual Noche de Luna festival in the Historic Barracks on the Sonoma Plaza. Guests arrived wearing traditional Mexican costumes, making for a fun and festive occasion.

It was the biggest and best event yet with over 300 people attending. Drinking chilled Margarita's served by Sonoma Valley's own La Casa Restaurant and enjoying the fine Mexican fair provided by Chef Extraordinare Karen Taylor of Primavera, the evening began on a wonderful note as the crowd mingled and listened to mariachi music.
