Animal Love
Not everyone is ready or able to get out to the great events featured weekly in the Bohemian and Pacific Sun. Here is an inclusive way to enjoy something that’s happening right now from the comfort of home. Clark-Claudon Vineyards’ Cab for Care program benefits Napa wildlife care with an offer of 50% discounts on their fine wines. Participants are asked to donate the unspent 50% to Napa Wildlife Rescue. Toast a cabernet to each raccoon, opossum and fox helped to get back on their (four) feet. For the Cab for Care program, visit the Clark-Claudon web store at clarkclaudon.com/the-wine#shop-section.

Come get hip to the latest in old school. CD Release Party. 8:30pm, Saturday, Sept. 30. Arlene Francis Center, 99 6th St., Santa Rosa. $15. Free CDs to the first 50 attendees.

Bingo!
Remember wide bottom pants, big hair and funky dance moves, when the idea of grandma at her Bingo group was laughable?
