The CLF's second annual Spirit of Giving Brunch was a great success, bringing together old friends and new supporters to hear a fascinating group of women talk about just that: What it means to give. Guest speakers Rickie Byars Beckwith of Agape International Spiritual Center, Kathy Eldon of Creative Visions, Sarah Kosasky of Partners Trust Malibu, best-selling author and spiritual advisor Heather McCloskey Beck, and parentung guru and author of the recent Parenting with Presence, Susan Stiffelman came together to bring the audience together in a way rarely felt at these gatherings, and our great friends at the Malibu Times were there to tell you about it! Go right here to read all about the amazing, incredible and inspiring day.

Special thanks to Alex Fields of the Fields Family Foundation, our amazing friends & volunteers who attended, John Cygan, our wonderful emcee, our great speakers (mentioned above!) our wonderful, astonishing young adults, who shared their hearts and souls with us-Enid, Randy & Giovanni De Leon, Cristian Lopez and Jasmin Romero, and to volunteers Suzanne Matteson, Nancy King, Lorie & Paul Campbell, Patrick Sullivan, Nick Krieder, Joe & Sissy Greco and Faith McCaffery- who made the day so truly special for us all...We love you all so very much.
