We’re so excited – first, Food & Home agrees to present this event to benefit us, and then we learn that Scott Leibfried of Food Network fame has agreed to judge the chowder competition. Dozens of local restaurants, certainly all my favorites will be there serving their version of their most impressive chowder; clam, veg, corn, fish or otherwise.

We couldn’t have a better venue than Montecito Country Club who have been so accomodating and gracious for their support.

Our goal is to brand ‘Santa Barbara Clam Chowder’ – our chefs are amongst the best in the nation – move over New England and Manhattan Clam Chowders, here comes Santa Barbara’s very own version!

Thank you…

to all the wonderful sponsors and supporters who made the 3rd Annual Richard Goldman Heroes for Justice Awards Dinner a success!

Cappello & Noel Check Presentation to Legal Aid

Since 1959 Legal Aid Foundation has provided free legal assistance in critical civil matters. Our mission is to ensure equal and meaningful access to the civil justice system to Santa Barbara county residents living at or below the poverty level, those facing language or disability barriers, seniors and others living on fixed incomes such as Social Security, and victims of domestic violence and elder abuse. Our services range from the provision of legal information and advice to assistance with the preparation of legal documents and representation in court proceedings. Because of resource limitations, our practice is primarily directed at assisting persons in crisis. We have offices in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc.
