2020 Holiday Happy Hour & Charity Raffle
RAFFLE MANIA—DECEMBER 17th 2020 at 5:30 p.m. register & buy tickets by December 11!
Central Coast Chapter Gang,
We’re hosting a raffle to benefit local charities, just before the holidays. All donations will go to three local food banks—Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes, Second Harvest Food Bank, & San Lorenzo Valley Churches United—in memory of long-time chapter member Phil Reiker. It’s been a tough year for so many in our community—we think we can help makes things a little better.
So many of our suppliers are donating great prizes to raffle off. $5 for every ticket, you’ll be able to place them on your favorite items. $20 is the registration fee and includes your first four tickets. After that purchase more tickets at $5 each and up your chances to get your favorite item as well as helping local charities. It’s a win-win for sure. All payments will happen online, and be handled by credit card or paypal. You must buy your tickets ahead of time by December 11th! Follow the links below to purchase.
The Zoom URL will be given to you at the time you register. Easy and fun, a chance to see each other one more time in 2020!

Happy Hour starts at 5:30 pm, December 17th 2020. SAVE THE DATE.

Phil Reiker – Thoughts
Longtime Central Coast Chapter member passed on September 3, 2020 with his loving family at his side. He died of cancer at 64 years old. Phil worked in the turf, irrigation, and landscape industry for nearly forty years. He put all his experiences together and formed Jet Mulch in 1996. His company was a major success, based on Phil’s friendly, endearing style. The company will continue on with the “family” of employees he trained over all those years.
For those who knew Phil, he was always willing to help. He was around in those early chapter days supporting us from the different companies where he worked. As a contractor, he was able to keep in close contact with all the people he became friends with in those earlier years. Over the years he offered his time, his employees and his products for many volunteer projects.
Phil came to California from Colorado, but the ‘country’ remained a big part of his life. He and his wife Sherry had horses and animals on their large ‘ranch’ in La Selva. Phil was an outdoorsman, often planning excursions, hikes, and travel. When the annual Banff Film Festival came up, Phil bought lots of tickets to invite others, introducing them to his scenic, fun outdoor world.
Phil was a cheerful soul, being known for that grand, radiant smile. His wife, daughter Sally and son Eric will miss him most, but we all will miss him and his upbeat persona.
We will all look back with fondness, feeling lucky to have known such a stand-up gentleman.
Donations can be made in his name to Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes and Doctors Without Borders.
Thank you John David for doing a great job of capturing the spirit of our dear friend Phil.
especially for CLCA Members
