The roots of Sonoma Valley’s Boys & Girls Club were planted in the early spring of 1962 by a group of active Sonoma Valley citizens who recognized the need to establish a Club that provided recreational activities and sports for boys. After many tireless hours by these motivated individuals, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley found it’s first home at the Sonoma Community Center.

As Sonoma Valley grew in the 1970s and 1980s, so did the need for positive activities and resources for our town’s young population. Again a group of local supporters of Sonoma Valley youth helped move The Club to a larger location on 1st Street West which served more members each week during the

critical afterschool hours. Many supporters today fondly remember taking their children to that location.

In 2000, the community of Sonoma Valley united as Dream Builders to complete construction on a stand-alone facility in Maxwell Park where Maxwell Clubhouse can be found today, teeming with happy, active kids! Maxwell Clubhouse is one of six dynamic locations providing afterschool education and enrichment including school sites at Flowery, Dunbar, El Verano, and Sassarini Elementary Schools as well as Altimira Middle School.

2015 is sure to be a year to remember for The Club as expansion efforts are underway to support the growing number of teen Club members with enhanced programming and a new facility!

Thank you to the Sonoma Valley community for your continued support and dedication. You have given us a past to celebrate and a bright future to embrace!

ELAINE BELL loves to cook, entertain, eat and enjoy good wine. What better combination of passions for the Wine Country’s premiere caterer! Growing up in Sonoma Valley, she spent many years in the family kitchen cooking for her parents and five siblings.

In 1978, at the Culinary Institute of America, her passion for food and wine exploded into a desire to learn the art of pairing foods with wines. In 1981, Elaine opened one of the first catering companies in the wine country. Working with great chefs and wine makers of the California Wine Country, she became a pioneer in producing unique dishes using the abundance of local agricultural products produced in Sonoma County. She, along with others, worked to create the current style and grace of wine country events.

Today, 32 years later, her remarkable team of professionals continues the tradition of excellent quality and integrity which has made her company sought after by clients both locally and internationally.

For tonight’s meal to honor two friends and community leaders, she has designed a fun and delicious menu that incorporates classic elegance with a modern presentation. The first course is a splash of color- Red, Yellow, and Chiogga Beets featured on a salad plate finished with a painter’s palate wash of color, and a citrus vinaigrette.

The main course incorporates a very tender cut of beef alongside sautéed jumbo prawns and her favorite potato and fennel gratin. Light and crispy root vegetables adorn this dish from the land and sea.

For a final, sweet surprise, don’t forget to head to the dessert room where you will be delighted by a whimsical and magical scene of sweets Frozen In Time!

Enjoy!
