Food For Thought

Pauline Pellini (right) is a busy lady with busy fingers. An avid quilter, she has twice sewn and donated quilts to be raffled off to benefit Food For Thought’s Project Africa. Her most recent African-themed quilt raised nearly $1,000 to help feed children in Namibia who have been orphaned or left vulnerable because of AIDS.

To the left, Peaches Henning (chair of the Project Africa committee) and Gene Bonino pose in front of the quilt at our recent “Take A Walk on the Wild Side” benefit for Project Africa. The night, which featured a dinner-dance and silent auction, was held at Safari West wild animal preserve in Santa Rosa. It was a resounding success, raising nearly $20,000 to help support programs in Africa. You can read more about Project Africa here.
