The local group “100 Men Who Give a Damn About Yolo County” will be hosting its third networking and fundraising event at Uvaggio Wine and Beer this coming Wednesday. Uvaggio is located at 703 Main St. The event is scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m. In advance of their quick-and-easy quarterly gatherings, members nominate and select three local nonprofits to make brief presentations to the group, followed by secret voting and the selection of the highest vote-getter as recipient of every member’s $100 contribution.
At the Wednesday meeting, the three nonprofit projects will be Yolo Farm-to-Fork’s new Maxwell School garden, MOSAIC Children’s Museum’s new facility on Main Street, and Yolo Conflict Resolution Center’s new restorative justice program in Woodland.
Yolo Farm-to-Fork’s new garden proposed for Maxwell Elementary School supports edible gardens in every Woodland elementary school interested in sustaining a garden learning environment.
The Yolo Conflict Resolution Center’s restorative justice program proposed for Woodland is to meant to lessen the burden of government by reducing stress on the formal justice system by offering affordable mediation, facilitation, and restorative justice services; combating community deterioration and potentially reducing the incidence of crime through constructive conflict resolution; and educating the public in general about alternative dispute resolution.
And the MOSAIC Children’s Museum being developed at 539 Main St., will be dedicated to inspiring and empowering children through science, art, imagination and creativity.
