2019 Sustaining Friends Summer Mingle Registration

This year, instead of gathering at Orchard Hill for VMF's 2019 Sustaining Friends Summer Mingle, we'll be taking in views of Volcan Mountain from Pat & Darrell Straube's Eastwood Creek Ranch on Farmer Road, while enjoying a delightfully summer-y happy hour menu of cold beer, sangria, sliders, salad and baked beans -- YUM! Pat was sure to note that special diets can, of course, be accommodated.

A big thank you again to Pat & Darrell Straube for holding this fun summer get-together for the Sustaining Friends group!
