The Golden Gate Salmon Association (GGSA) will host its 4th Annual Sonoma Dinner on Thursday, November 9 at Cornerstone Event Center.  The dinner will honor the Sonoma Valley dairy and wine farmers the Mulas Family who have been using recycled water for decades on their dairy farm and fields. According to Ray Mulas, who is also the fire chief of the Schellvista Fire District, “We are not strangers to water re-use and recycling as we have been using water from the Sonoma treatment facility since I was 12.”

John McManus, executive director of GGSA noted, “We are pleased to honor this great family who have pioneered the use of recycled water for their dairy operations.  They’ve demonstrated a future where water use is balanced to leave enough for salmon and the environment.”

The special event will be held at Cornerstone, 23570 Arnold Drive in Sonoma.  Doors open at 5:30pm and tickets are $125. Per seat or tables of ten are available.  Tickets are limited and are available by calling 855-251-GGSA (4472) or by visiting www.goldengatesalmonassociation.com.
