stating, "It's a rare opportunity for the community to get together
for fun and to do something wonderful for a terrific local charity.
"Not only will the food and drink be great, but the sunset views of
the bay and the mountains from the Peninsula Yacht Club are really
nice. "This location is one of the best kept secrets of the
Peninsula," he added.

Humanimal Connection, beneficiary of the proceeds of the event, is an
animal rescue organization that specializes in finding good homes for
all kinds of cats...and sometimes other animals. They are a 501c3
non-for-profit California corporation that has been working since
1998 to facilitate healthy, helpful relationships between people,
animals, and the environment.

In 1998, sisters Susan Brown and Judy Baker were called upon to help
rescue the feral cats at Bay Meadows race track when they were in
danger of injury, death, or simply homelessness due to the major
construction going on there. Successful in those efforts, they felt
they could serve a valuable niche in the community by helping in ways
that other shelters can't or don't.
