California Native Garden Foundation's Teaching Garden Project "A Living Library"
Nov 06, 2024 6:30 PM
Alrie Middlebrook, from the Rotary Club of San Jose, is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of California Native Garden Foundation (CNGF https://cngf.org/). She is currently involved with the teaching garden project with "A Living Library" (https://alivinglibrary.org/).
She founded the Garden for Ghana Project and traveled nine times to work with schools and the local community to build teaching gardens in Yamoransa, Ghana. Currently, she is helping to fund an underserved school’s teaching garden filled with native Indian plants in Delhi, India.
She met Rod Diridon when he was a Santa Clara County Supervisor. She sought his advice and support for a San Jose maze chip garden, based on Bob Noyce’s early circuitry prototypes, that visitors would see in the Guadalupe River Park as they landed in San Jose. She is interested in the intersection of art, science, agriculture, and ecoliteracy as we collectively plan future land use in Santa Clara County. CNGF started this conversation as the Build 25 Initiative in 2017. Alrie, along with her partner of 33 years, Dr. Barry Slater, are proud of their wonderful, blended California family of 7 children and 15 grandchildren. |

Who doesn’t love the traditional Thanksgiving meal? Join the Rotary Clubs of San Francisco Chinatown and San Francisco Evening and first responders from the San Francisco Police and Fire Departments as we partner with Self-Help for the Elderly to celebrate this day of giving thanks for our abundance and enjoy a wonderful holiday meal. The Thanksgiving Luncheon is held every November to provide elders in our community with an afternoon of good food, friends, and fun! The luncheon attracts over 3,000 guests each year, and continues to grow. Families and friends of the seniors also join for this holiday filled event. Guests will be served a delicious Thanksgiving meal with all the traditional fixings. Seniors that are not able to physically attend the luncheon will have their meal delivered to them so that they can still enjoy the event and the Thanksgiving meal. There are also plenty of opportunities to volunteer for the event and serve the seniors and their guests. Inform our Service Chair Georgina Lai if you are interested! |
