Bellosguardo Foundation Plans Fundraising Event at Clark Estate in Santa Barbara

Ticket prices range from $50,000 — for 20 guests in a private living room, with butler service — to $1,500 for 2 guests-Noozhawk Aug. 10, 2018

This is far from what Ms. Clark had in mind!  Instead of such a narrow elitist event for the wealthy,  it would be far closer to her intent to have the general public able to tour and enjoy the estate for a reasonable fee in order to raise funds.

Helene Schneider and her pals have done little to put this place on track for its intended use, including placing her boyfriend in charge. (Now her former boyfriend, I hear).

Filoli, a 55,000 square foot house and 70 acre estate in Woodside,  was given to the Historic Trust by the Roth family of Matson Navigation and is visited and enjoyed by thousands every year.  I suggest the the board governing the Clark Estate go up to Filoli and see how its done.
It will be of interest to see if any local elected officials or board members or friends of both will be attending this event and not pay their way.

I also want to see if there are any other people besides rich white folks at this $50,000 per 20 persons dinner or even at $750 a head for the poorer outcasts' dinner.

This is the wrong event to get the ball rolling and leaves the public behind-again!
