Nourishing Our Community Events, 2026

What is the Nourishing Our Community (NOC) FUNdraiser all about?

First of all, it isn’t just all about dinners, though there are glorious dinners! The CSLO community likes to eat AND PLAY – and why not? These are great ways to share time together. Food isn’t the only way we nourish ourselves, so there are other fun events. The hosted events will run to the end of this year and 100% of the proceeds go to the Center. Join in on the fun and connect with others!
