KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The May 2018 Spring Fling Luncheon at Boutique Winery in Kelseyville once again successfully raised monies for the Soroptimist International of Clear Lake, a volunteer organization dedicated to helping our community.

There was a delicious lunch catered by Fresh N Bangin’, desserts provided by the Advanced Culinary Arts Class at Woodland Community College, fabulous music by Scott Serena and an inspiring guest speaker Chris Stewart, known as the world's No. 1​ ​Door to Door HOPE salesman.

Chris Stewart is a recovering heroin addict who travels the world teaching preventative education, tools for sustainable sobriety, and proven methods to achieve your dreams and overcome your fears one day at a time.

Soroptimist International of Clear Lake will use the monies raised to support its many projects like Dream It * Be It providing career support to girls in secondary school who face obstacles to their future success; Tule House Residential program to support mothers struggling with addiction to drugs, providing treatment and a safe place for their children to flourish; Stop Human Trafficking awareness and training programs; The Nest, a local maternity group home that improves the lives of at risk parents, ages 18 to 21, and their children.
