Cheryl and Detlef Matthies hosted a La Honda party to benefit Puente. More than 20 La Honda neighbors gathered to hear about Puente’s work and the news that Puente will open a La Honda office in July. Thanks to Cheryl and Detlef, and board member Carol Young-Holt, for a lovely gathering.

Puente’s executive director, Kerry Lobel, was among the honored guests at the Coastside Women’s Club luncheon on May 19. Puente was one of six Coastside nonprofits to benefit from the Club’s fundraising efforts.
