We are grateful that The RRazz Room’s first annual “Season of Giving” in December will benefit Bread & Roses.  Throughout the month, San Francisco’s Premier Nightclub is presenting many performers who support Bread & Roses including:  Maria Muldaur (Dec. 7) and Pete Escovedo & Family (Dec. 9-11).  Donations will be requested for Bread & Roses at each concert from Dec. 1-30, 2011.

Bread & Roses hosted a community gathering at a special happy hour at The Tavern at Lark Creek on Thursday, September 8.  On the side patio of this beautiful, historic restaurant in Larkspur, many people from diverse parts of our ever-expanding community gathered to share good cheer.  With festive sangria, margaritas, wine and beer for sale to benefit Bread & Roses, we visited with each other under the redwood trees and enjoyed the lively folk-rock music of the talented Rant Brothers.

 Susan Gilardi, Bread & Roses Board Chair Emeritus,  first had the inspiration for the second annual event along with restaurant manager TJ Jacobberger and Bread & Roses Executive Director Cassandra Flipper.  While Susan was helping to greet people, her husband Dennis Gilardi parked his 1922 Model T Ford in the driveway to draw attention to the event.
