14th Annual Fall Organic Harvest Benefit Reception and Dinner Silent Auction Items:

Farm Soil Cyanotypes by Laura Parker
A set of unique and unusual art pieces, which incorporate soil from two
local organic farms, T & D Willey Farm and Phil Foster Ranch.
Cyanotypes are a type of "sunprint" ~ the final image appears only with
the aid of ultra-violet light or sunlight. The colors can range from pale
to deep blue tones and everything in between. Laura Parker, a nationally
and internationally exhibited studio and installation artist, is based in
San Francisco and works primarily with the metaphors of agriculture.

A Weekend at La Costa
When it opened its doors three decades ago, La Costa Resort & Spa
became a benchmark for luxury resorts, and it continues to set the
standard today. La Costa earned a rating of #1 Spa in the West by
Travel+Leisure in 2005 and was named the #2 Most Family Friendly
Resort in the U.S. by the Travel Channel in 2003. This Carlsbad,
California, resort's world-class accommodations are both lavish and
refined. The spa's acclaimed massage therapists and exotic array of
treatments indulge, invigorate and inspire guests, while the Chopra
Center's Ayurvedic therapies help align both body and spirit. With its
two tournament-caliber golf courses and its 17 courts featuring clay and
hard court surfaces, La Costa's international reputation as a golf and
tennis proving ground continues to grow with each new champion
crowned. The La Costa Resort and Spa is truly something you have to see
to believe.
