Please join us
on May 4!
People with Purpose is just three weeks away! We're looking forward to celebrating with you.
After all the rain we've had this year, the rolling hills surrounding the Castlewood Country Club are sure to be in all their glory as we gather at 6 pm to enjoy the view from the patio, cocktail hour, games, a fun photo booth, delicious dinner and wine - and the amazing gathering of friends who are truly the heart of our community.

We're happy to share a preview of our guest speaker and this year's honorees. They inspire us and we're sure you'll be "wowed," too!
Meet Lisa Felder, our People with Purpose Speaker
 Lisa Felder
was a busy running coach and certified sports nutritionist
when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010.
With the help of her
Kaiser Permanente healthcare team, Lisa underwent surgery and follow up treatment, and was then referred
HERS,
a place
she describe
s
as
"magic."
and her
devoted trainees call her
"
Coach
Mama Lisa,"
a reference to the warmth, strength, and encouragement that have
won
their hearts.
Join us at our May 4th gala to hear Lisa's inspiring story and in the meantime, learn more via
her web site.
