Finca La Maya to host benefit for outstanding local students
Come join the fun and help your community! All are invited to attend a benefit to be held at Finca La Maya on Saturday 18 July, 4-8 pm. Festivities will include an introduction to Finca La Maya’s students and facilities, refreshments, live music by the Blue Note Jazz Quartet and a silent auction which will include fabulous offerings, such as an aerial tour in a private plane, a day cruise aboard a luxurious yacht, surf lessons, beach getaway weekends and dinner packages at several excellent local restaurants.
Thanks to the generosity of local sponsors and private donations who have contributed auction items, the auction will not only add to the festivities, but will also help provide ongoing support in class assistance and materials.
