Normally, EDC holds our largest fundraiser of the year outside in the beautiful gardens of Rancho La Patera & Stow House in Goleta, but in 2020 due to COVID-19, we mixed it up! And boy was it fun. We are looking forward to another exciting Green & Blue with you joining us from the comfort of your home. We will have a silent auction packed full of unique items, an exciting live auction, and a short program to celebrate all we have accomplished together. And let’s not forget the delicious food by Duo Catering along with local wine and beer available at certain sponsor levels. This year we are excited to honor Carmen Ramirez, Ventura County Supervisor, as our Environmental Hero, along with professor Leah Stokes and young poet Nicola Bailey as our special guests.
