On October 29th La Luz and Vineyard Workers Services held their annual Migrant Farmworker Camp silent auction at the Benziger Family’s Imagery Estate Winery.
Even with a challenge from the World Series and a late harvest, the event was a great success. Mike was still tending to harvest but sister Kathey Benziger welcomed us all. The Red Grape provided pizzas. Peter Haywood, one of the founders of the Migrant Farm Worker Camps, gave the audience some history followed by a touching video never before shown about the camps.
Heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Mike and Mary Benziger for their continued support of the Farm Worker Camps. The Benziger Winery, one of the few wineries in Sonoma Country that is 100% biodynamic, has a love and passion for the land that supports their family, and a compassion for the Farm Workers without whom they know they would not be able to produce their fine wines.
Special thanks to the Sangiacomo and Robledo Families, Gloria Ferrer and to our VWS Angels—The Vadasz Family Foundation!
November 1 & 2: Sunday from 12:00 noon until 4:00 p.m. La Luz will be hosting Dia De Los Muertos, a showing of altars and sugar skulls made by local residents and other organizations including Nuestra Voz, Boys & Girls Club, Teen Center, Banco de Sonoma. This is a very touching and important day in the lives of our Mexican Community.
Continue on to the Sonoma Valley Museum for an altar showing and music from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Finish at the Sonoma Valley Community Center for viewing an outdoor community Altar, with music and food and wine from 5:00 p.m. till 7:00 p.m. I hope you can join us for this special occasion. There is no cost for this event.
