Valley Churches United Missions’ Annual Gala Celebration was held on Thursday, December 3, at 5:30 p.m., at Scopazzi’s Restaurant in Boulder Creek.
This popular event brought together donors, volunteers, and community members who support Valley Churches’ mission of providing food, emergency assistance, and holiday programs for those in need in the San Lorenzo Valley, Scotts Valley, and Bonny Doon.
Attendees enjoyed a champagne and appetizer reception, prime rib, salmon or vegetarian dinners, including wine, and live and silent auctions.
The diners welcomed VCUM’s Interim Executive Director, Lynn Robinson, who, in addition to being the former Santa Cruz Mayor (2013-2014), served on the Santa Cruz City Council for seven years, and is a small business owner.
