Vineyard Volunteer Event: Establish the Cordon, Sunday Aug. 10th at 9am
You helped us build the trellises and plant the vines, it’s time to see how far your work has come!
Join us:
Sunday, August 10th 9am-Noon
The vineyard has been flourishing since our planting in March. Come see what a vineyard looks like after only 5 months, while we establish the cordon. The cordon is the horizontal arm of the vine that will carry the fruit in coming years. We’ll also be sampling some of California’s best kosher wines! Join us for one hour of light volunteer work, followed by wine tasting, education, and an optional vineyard study prepared by Yasha Magarik of the Jewish Food Justice Fellowship.
REGISTER NOW!
A light lunch and beverages will be provided. Space is limited!
*This event is not appropriate for children, due to safety reasons. There will be no childcare or children’s programming. Teenagers 13-17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Black, Jewish and Queer. These three identities weave the fabric of who I am, but it took a long time to believe that they could exist together.
Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
