Melissa and Ron Brooks hosted the Explore Ecology fundraiser at their Hope Ranch home.
Several members joined other supporters at Growing Abundance, Explore Ecology’s annual fundraiser, hosted by Melissa and Ron Brooks.
The evening celebrated local food, community, and environmental education, with farm-to-bar cocktails, live music, a locally sourced paella dinner, and an engaging conversation about the importance of connecting people with the environment.
Explore Ecology is an established partner of our club, and we are proud to support its work throughout the community. Recent projects have included Coastal Cleanup Day, an educational field trip aboard the Condor Express for 80 students, and the organization’s School Gardens program.
Our members were delighted to come together for an evening supporting Explore Ecology’s continued efforts to inspire environmental stewardship and provide meaningful educational experiences for our community.
