This Sunday from 5-7 pm there is a fundraising event for Efren Carrillo at 5626 Vine Hill Road, Sebastopol.
Hey, I thought, that's my neck of the woods! So I googled the address...whoa! Fancy place!
Most of us never get to see the inside of such a place, let alone live there. So if you have the requested 50 buck$ to attend, or if you don't mind seeming to be too poor but you want to go anyway, you can make your way there and maybe rub shoulders, eat, drink, pretend..... or maybe they won't even let you in.
You can view this 61 acre $14 million property at this high-end real estate website, listed as "Vine Hill Ranch" about half way down the page. I recommend taking the virtual tour!

I see these images and I think about the immigrant farm workers and other laborers who create such wealth. I think about what their life is like and choke on the contrast.
What is Efren telling us by saddling up to such wealth? Should we go and ask him Sunday? Maybe pocket some yummy goodies and distribute them to their rightful owners in the poor Latino neighborhoods of Santa Rosa? Hmmm....
