"Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?"

How can a lemonade stand help an injured owl to fly?  Well, in this case the majority of proceeds from this bustling lemonade & cookie stand were donated to the Wildlife Education & Rehabilitation Center (WERC) in Morgan Hill, CA.  The hosts of the stand (Sammie Frazer & Tessa Gilmour) set up shop in the meadow on Holiday Drive near Lake Anderson & the 100 degree heat resulted in a steady stream of customers stopping in for a glass of refreshing ice cold lemonade.  WERC is a local non-profit organization whose mission statement is to provide the community with rehabilitation services for orphaned, injured, and sick native wildlife.  Through their education programs, WERC encourages a peaceful coexistence between civilization and our native wildlife.  You can usually find them at the Taste of Morgan Hill or the Morgan Hill Mushroom Mardi Gras, with an array of beautiful animals on display.  Their website is at www.werc-ca.org and check them out for upcoming events, fundraisers, and of course the animal of the month!

Morgan Hill, San Martin, & Gilroy have a rich agricultural & ranching history that has led to the need for humans & wildlife to coexist peacefully.  And living amongst wildlife is one of the reasons why so many people love living in South Santa Clara County.  If you are looking to escape the Bay Area crowds, then come on down to any one of these communities for some much needed breathing room.  In terms of value & quality of life, it's sure hard to beat the combination that South County offers.

My name is Dave Frazer, and I'm a local Realtor that can help find your dream home in this paradise we call South County.  I look forward to chatting with you. Email or call me anytime at 408-930-2673.
