UKIAH, Calif. – The Mendocino College Foundation’s annual “Gala on the Green” is a mix of dining, auctions, music, raffles and wine tasting.
Additionally, a private one-hour tour of the 13-acre garden at Campovida, 13601 Old River Road, Hopland, will be offered to Gala guests prior to the June 18 festivities.
Gala on the Green, an annual fundraiser to benefit Mendocino College students and programs, presented by the Mendocino College Foundation, will take place at the pavilion at Campovida.
The gala begins at 5:30 p.m. and will be preceded by the optional garden tour between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner, wine, live and silent auctions, mystery boxes, a wine pull raffle and musical entertainment by the George Husaruk Trio.
Tickets for the event are $100 per person. Tables, with seating for eight people each, may be reserved for $700. Tickets may be purchased by accessing the foundation’s Web site, http://foundation.mendocino.edu, or calling the foundation office, 707-467-1018.
Sponsors for this year’s Gala on the Green include Campovida, Mendo Lake Credit Union, TLCD Architecture, Savings Bank of Mendocino County, Midstate Construction, SHN Consulting Engineers, Paul Conrado, Richard Cooper, Katherine “Kit” Elliott and George Husaruk, Max and Joan Schlienger, and Wells Fargo advisors John Goldsmith and Rand Rodgers.
Campovida owners Anna Beuselinck and Gary Breen invite Gala attendees to arrive early and take in the garden tour with Ken Boek. Calling Boek the “soul of the garden,” Beuselinck said he is also known as “Campovida’s Voice of Nature.”
Guests may experience an “organic immersion” by walking through the garden “which caters to the five senses and is an educational experience of nature’s diversity,” said Beuselinck.
Individuals may also taste Mendocino Farms Wines, sourced from local vineyards, and, with guidance, pair them with edible flowers and herbs from the garden, she added.
Artist Eva Nicolait (http://www.evanicolait.com/) will be showcasing her work in the Campovida barns and wine tasting areas, according to Beuselinck. Nicolait has donated a piece of her artwork to be auctioned at the Gala.
“The Campovida garden tour is a wonderful way to kick off our Gala,” said Christy Scollin, co-chair for the Foundation’s Special Events Committee. “Strolling through the colorful garden while learning about the organic vegetables, flowers and herbs is a delightful way to start the evening. We are fortunate to be having our event at such a beautiful outdoor venue.”

With only two weeks left of the 2011 school year, students are embracing, for some, their last moments of high school.
With Carle spirit in the air, students were excited to have one last paintball trip this year, thanks to Michael and Starr Skidmore. Taking place last Friday, May 27, our paintball club was able to enjoy one last colorful “battle” before this school year concludes.
With not only the honor of each others company, the paintball club were also honored to walk in this weekend's Lower Lake Daze Memorial Day Parade. The parade starts at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
In addition to our paintball club marching in the parade 25 Carlé students have signed up for two days of community service during their Memorial Day weekend holiday.
This dedicated group, led by teacher Alan Siegel, will set up the parade and park post all the no parking flyers, pick up trash all day after we completely clean the street after the parade with a crew led by teacher Angie Siegel.
We will work hard on Sunday with our earliest arrivals showing at 7 a.m. We anticipate finishing our cleaning the park chores about 4 p.m.
We will exude the awesome Carlé attitude throughout trying to help everyone who needs it before they have to ask us. We will all wake up early on Monday to crank it all up again and honor those currently serving and veterans by helping fly the Avenue of the Flags at the Lower Lake Cemetery.
If you are interested in helping out and enjoying this show up at the building in the middle of the cemetery Monday by 7 a.m.
When the flag ceremony is over we will head back down to the park to finish any chores from the day before and make sure the building and grounds are in great shape for the community.
Carlé High School students are about to have a blast from the past! That's right! The annual Shakespeare expedition, lead by teacher Verna Rogers, is once again taking place this year. Making their way to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, seven students will be able to finally answer that lingering question, “To be or not to be.”
“Ashland is the coolest place on the planet! It's always fun seeing new things, and getting out for a few days,” said Verna Rogers.
Their adventure begins June 1 and will last until June 4 (further details to come in the next article).
Our Student of the Week this week is none other than the amazing Lindsay Yaquinto.
“Lindsay is so dedicated to her work. She works very well, and is very mature. She takes her education seriously,” said teacher Dan Maes.
With summer in the air, and 41 creative sparks soon to be spreading out into the world and graduating this year, these seniors are working hard to finish up the year strong.
With 41 Carlé High School champions and 41 young adults to finally be able to say, “I did it.”
Lewis School also will graduate 16 seniors, in which the very lovely student Stevie Cook had the privilege of creating their senior plaques.
Finally, the tastiest and most exciting opportunity of the week came from Chef Rosey Martin.
Chef Martin worked with Alan Siegel and a group of our students during a Soroptimist luncheon she catered about a month or so ago.
She was so impressed with Carlé's students work ethic that she called Alan and offered to host a very special Louisiana cooking class for the students of Carlé.
This amazing event happened on Thursday and Rosey gave the history of the area and how each food she cooked with the students came about. She then went on to cook a four-course meal with the students.
They cooked enough to share with the staff and many students who were not officially among the 20 taking the class.
It was a culinary and historical delight and we cannot thank Chef Martin enough for her kindness and generosity.
Chef Martin offers this class to people in their homes and what a treat it is.
Carlé will bring Chef Martin back to campus to present her with a card designed by Jorge Viera and signed by all the students who participated.
In addition Kayellia Lansdowne will present Chef Martin with a plaque that she designed from pictures taken during the event.
Karalena Cole is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.

The 10-week classroom program was taught by Lakeport Police School Resource Officer Stephanie Green.
The curriculum covered resisting peer pressure, drug abuse resistance, healthy relationships and confidence in making healthy choices.
Prior to completing the program all students were required to complete a report reflecting what they learned from the DARE program and how it affects their personal decision making.
Earlier in the year 140 eighth grade students participated in an eighth grade DARE curriculum and successfully graduated.
DARE is an international program that is used throughout the United States and approximately 43 other countries. It’s designed to educate children with resisting drugs and violence.

Law enforcement representatives from Lakeport Police Department will participate in the graduation ceremonies.
