Napa Academy Awards fundraiser, next Sun, Mar 7

I'm hoping you've already heard about this, because I haven't said much since my first post about volunteering (back in January)...Next Sunday is a huge fundraiser for our local HIV/AIDS support services (they help with other chronic illnesses such as cancer as well), the Queen of the Valley's CARE Network. The huge, fun party will be at Mondavi next weekend. There will also be more info at tonight's Napa Unity League monthly mixer:

22nd Annual Napa Valley Red Carpet Extravaganza - An Academy Awards Viewing Party!

The event takes place on Sunday, March 7, 2010 at the Robert Mondavi Winery (7801 St. Helena Hwy in Oakville, CA). Festivities run from 5 to 11 p.m.

The evening includes:

• viewing the 82nd Annual Academy Awards telecast live via big screens throughout the venue
