Plowshares Advocate
“That no one in our community go hungry…”
September 2016 Vol. 33, No. 9
“Blues, Brews & BBQ” will once again be offering up gourmet BBQ, great Beer, and World Class Blues to benefit
Plowshares’ Meals on Wheels program.
Meals on Wheels is an important part of our mission to provide hot, nutritious meals for home bound Seniors in
need. With the aging of the Mendocino County population we are aware that the need for Senior meals will
increase and resources such as food, milk, equipment and containers, must be purchased. Since we need to raise
money, we believe that our benefactors should have the most fun possible.
A gourmet dinner prepared by Chef Austin, from UVMC, will include BBQ Tri Tip & Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce,
Vegetarian Entrée: Grilled Mushroom Polenta with Caramelized Onions, Red Potato Salad, Faro Roasted Corn &
Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette, Grilled Corn, Ranch Beans. Dessert and Coffee will follow.
Anderson Valley Brewing and Lagunitas Brewing Company have donated their special brews which will be poured at
no additional charge. Barra wines will be featured on a no host basis.
Kicking off the evening this year will be a special guest performance by the Mendocino Ballet under the direction of
Trudy McCreanor. They will be dancing to John Lee Hooker’s “Shake it Baby” along with one other number.
The Plowshares Blues Band will be bringing their World Class Blues from the Bay area. Featured are:

2016 Volunteer Recognition Celebration!
We look forward every year to the Volunteer Luncheon where we get to

Roasted Beet Salad. Our volunteers do so much to keep Plowshares going
