Fundraiser Serves Women in Need
Flamenco guitarist Clif Miller will entertain visitors at the 1 p.m. Spring Into Healing party Sunday, March 22, a fundraiser for Patty’s House, serving low-income women with medical needs.
Admission is $15 at the door of the private ocean-view home.
The party also serves as an opportunity to thank supporters and those who share a passion for bringing hope to dark places, says organizer Jaime F. Nappi, who founded the nonprofit in the aftermath of her mother’s death from ovarian cancer at 44. “When we received the diagnoses we had no insurance or money. If it wasn’t for the generosity of our loved ones who donated money, held fundraising garage sales and the amazing doctors who donated their services, she would have gone without treatment and passed away within months.”
The event will feature champagne and hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, jewelry and fashion accessories and essential oils.

Rescue Mission Seeks Support for Homeless Children
The Orange County Rescue Mission is seeking support to assist children, having seen a 61 percent increase in the demand for transitional housing services in 2014, says a statement.
Since its groundbreaking in 2008, the Village of Hope has seen a rise in the number of families with children who are seeking assistance in recent years, says President Jim Palmer. A total of 84 children live at the Village of Hope, said Palmer, who need “food, clothing and other basic items that will help them to continue their fresh start to a new life.”
