CAMARILLO — Join Meadowlark Service League on Saturday, August 29, for a fun and inspiring virtual “Taste of Camarillo.” Meadowlarks members have been hard at work to create opportunities that will continue to raise funds to benefit the many charities that their events support. “Our local nonprofits need us now more than ever,” noted longtime Meadowlark and event chair, Gwen Speakes, “and we are excited to create an online event to help bridge that gap. We are also striving to promote the participating wine, brew, and food exhibitors of the Taste of Camarillo during these difficult times.”
The Meadowlarks usually host three major fundraisers each year. The “Homes for the Holidays” Home Tour and Boutique, “A Taste of Camarillo” Festival and Gala and the Charity Luncheon and Tennis/Pickleball Tournament. Due to the cancelation of the biggest of these three events, “The Taste of Camarillo,” the organization immediately began organizing an online event – and in true hardworking Meadowlark spirit, the women’s charity organization created not one, but two events!
From Wednesday, August 26, through midnight of Saturday, August 30, a silent auction will be available for bidding. An online “Taste of Camarillo” Virtual Live Auction fundraiser which will be streamed on Saturday, August 29, from 5:30 – 7:30pm.
Participants can also register for free to attend these two auctions at www.TasteofCamarillo.com. Registration is free. A code will be provided to all that register to participate in the auctions.
Be sure to register for these events, and check out the auction items, all while supporting your local nonprofits through the Meadowlark Service League.
