Kabul school fundraiser at Stubbs in Marin
By Jessica Yadegaran
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 at 5:38 pm in Marin, Wine.
Stubbs Vineyard, makers of fine organic Marin County Pinot Noir, is hosting an event for a great cause. I doubt you’d want to miss it.
At 5:30 p.m. on June 14, the winery is hosting a fundraising dinner for Schools for Kabul, a student-run project aimed at building a school in Kabul, Afghanistan. Their goal is to build a girls’ school in the village of Istalif through the Turquoise Mountain Foundation. They’ve raised $5,000 and need $5,000 more.
Petaluma’s The Sofa Kings will be performing and food will be in the form of luscious spit-roasted pig.
Any reason not to go?
RSVP in advance to DJ Colbert at 707-293-6977. Tickets are $60 and they recommend warm clothes since the fog will most likely roll in (this is West Marin) and comfortable shoes.

Best wishes for success in your project! What you are doing is important! Just this week, three schools for girls were destroyed south of Kabul by insurgents just because they were girl’s schools. And last Friday, a high school was torched in Paktika Providence.
