DeSaulnier was one of 140 guests and speakers including Kathryn Lyddan, executive director of Brentwood Agricultural Land Trust; Kira Gould, co-author of "Women in Green;" Bea Johnson, author of "Zero Waste Home;" Ames Morrison, co-founder of eco-friendly ranch and vineyard Medlock Ames; and Charles Bohlig, water conservation supervisor for the East Bay Municipal Utility District. The fundraiser benefitted Sustainable Lafayette programs, including Lafayette's Earth Day Festival, Summer Environmental Film Series, Green Schools, Community Garden, and Recycle Lafayette. It also featured organic and sustainably-produced local appetizers, beer and spirits (wine pairings with Medlock Ames wines), an environmentally-friendly silent auction and live jazz.
