Movie and Dinner in the Park

The problem that Elsie Allen's Lobo Unity Club is trying to solve is stereotypes. Elsie Allen High School is rumored to be a problem in Southwest Santa Rosa due to gang violence, but this is not the case. Elsie Allen High School is neighboring the Roseland community, which is known to be a rough area. Since Elsie Allen is neighboring Roseland it has been determined that the school must be a bad school, but this is just not true. Many students at Elsie Allen High School have made a difference in their communities due to the Lobo Unity club at their high school. Lobo Unity members have volunteered at many Community events around Santa Rosa such as: The Sonoma County Book Fair, Dia de Indepencia, Cinco de Mayo, the Youth Summit, etc. Lobo Unity has also hosted events such as the annual Lobo CommUnity fair held on campus each year. This year the Lobo Unity club is looking to start a new project known as Dinner and Movie in the Park. The goal is to bring families from the community together to mingle and to gain information with the booths displayed around the park. Lobo Unity would put on a barbecue and set up a movie as often as possible to bring the community together and hopefully inspire more events in Southwest Santa Rosa. To do this though we need funding. We are hoping that if we got the grant that we would be able to at least cover the cost of some of the food. Lobo Unity is hoping to make this event a possibility within the next few months and we can use all the help we can get. We are looking to strengthen our community and show the rest of Santa Rosa what Elsie Allen High School is really about. Thank you for your time and if you do invest your time and money in us you won’t be disappointed.
