After a presentation and discussion with conservation scientists, enjoy refreshments, meet friends, and discover what you can do to help our vital river through community service, action, and careers.

This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Santa Clara River, the Oxnard Monday Club, and the Ventura Group of the Sierra Club.

Silvia Ponce "A Mother's Journey of Love"
For Sylvia, waiting for the arrival of her first-born child was an exciting and joyous occasion. She couldn't wait to see the world through her son's eyes, but she soon learned that life had unforeseen plans in store. While Silvia dreamed of teaching her son about the world, it turned out she would also need to teach the world about her son. Silvia will share her journey of being the champion and advocate of her Deaf son, and the pride she feels in being his mom.

Esteban Rosas: "Veteran Me"
Esteban will share his story of fighting to live The American Dream and ultimately finding his way to success through the military. From growing up in a trailer park to proudly serving his country, Esteban's story is an inspiring example of how the choices we make can create our destinies.

Kat Sanden: "Path To My Personal Legend"
Kat will share the personal story of her 30-year battle with Fibromyalgia and how she learned to adapt and overcome the darkness within. Faced with this debilitating illness and other obstacles that disrupted the vision she had for her life, Kat's unique journey and outlook have led her to discover her inner strength and become the best version of herself.
