From the Executive Director

Oct 2023

As I'm sure you know, AAP – Food Samaritans’ Evening Under the Stars is back. On October 14, 2023, we will welcome champions of our nutritional support program to join in celebration of our resilience and continued service to the community.
 
If you haven't yet purchased tickets and wish to attend, please don't delay. We are within days of being completely SOLD OUT.
 
We are honored to have Lily Tomlin joining us, and to present Lori and Aubrey Serfling and Nelda Linsk with our Community Impact Awards. We recognize their long-standing partnerships with us and all that they do in the community.
 
For the 30th anniversary of the event, we are bringing it back to its roots as the original Palm Springs garden party, held at the Old Las Palmas home of Brad Lampley & Rigo Lomeli. Tickets for the benefit are available at $200 per person and include hosted bar, plentiful hors d’oeuvres by Eight4Nine, entertainment, and valet parking. For tickets and more information, call 760-325-8481 or visit aapfoodsamaritans.org.
 
One more thing: When we first got word that Barry Manilow was planning to include AAP as a beneficiary of his famous 'Gift of Love' holiday concerts, it seemed so far into the future. Now, the holidays are right around the corner! Please consider tickets to one of these holiday concerts as a holiday gift for someone special.
 
Gratefully, 
 
Mark Anton
CEO
