Last year, She Raised Her Hand was the proud recipient of the funds raised by the Santa Barbara Women Winemakers & Culinarians. This year they are raising funds for two other worthy organizations: Mo’s To-Go Catering and Deli and Nature Track. These events are filled with wine and bubbles produced by local women winemakers and food prepared by local women culinarians. Let’s not forget the FUN involved in attending these celebrations!
For more information and tickets, please visit their website SBwomenwinemakers.com.

Honor Flight Central Coast California
Applications are now being accepted for the 2025 Honor Flight
Our Mission is to honor all of America’s veterans by taking them to Washington D.C. on their “Tour of Honor” as our guests. Once there, they can visit and reflect at their memorials which have been built to honor their service.
We encourage all Central Coast veterans to submit an application. Applications are prioritized on when the veteran served and then when we receive the application. WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam Vets currently have priority. Ladies, do not miss out on this opportunity.
