The benefit will include a cocktail reception, sit-down din- ner, and live auction before the performance by Mr. Hall, who is, himself, battling the effects of Lyme disease. Tickets for indi- vidual seats are $1,000. “Our mission at Bay Area Lyme Foundation is to accelerate medi- cal breakthroughs that will make Lyme disease easy to diagnose and simple to cure, “ says Ana Thompson, executive director at Bay Area Lyme Foundation. Although Lyme disease is one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the United States, the search for solutions is under- funded, receiving only $1 per patient for every $910 spent on West Nile disease, according to Ms. Thompson. While Lyme disease can usually be treated with antibiotics if caught early, it is often misdiagnosed, leading to a much more debilitating illness, she said.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARINGOF THE TOWN COUNCIL REGARDING

AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT X7D-30 FOR THE WOODSIDE PRIORY SCHOOL

AND ADOPTION OF THE INITIAL STUDY/ MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

By Renee BattiAlmanac News Editor

Lisa Pamphilon of Menlo Park is a mental health advocate, human rights

activist, and mother. It is her goal today, she says, to help create a better understand-ing of conditions that affect the mental health of our families, friends, and community at large so that those in need of support and services can get the help they need. To that end, in 2012 she founded Turning Point, a men-tal health advocacy group, and the Mental Health Awareness Project. And on Saturday, May 11, that project’s inaugural event will take place in Menlo Park, with Chip Huggins, CEO of Caminar for Mental Health, delivering the keynote speech and participating in a panel discussion. Sponsored by Turning Point, with co-sponsorship by the Menlo Park Library, the event is set from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Menlo Park City Council Cham-bers at 701 Laurel St. in the Civic Center. The theme is “Being

an Advocate and an Ally,” and the dis-cussion and i n for m at ion on offer “will provide people with tools and i n for m at ion they need to assist and advocate for friends and family members suffering with mental health conditions,” Ms. Pamphilon said in a press release. The event is free. There will be more than 20 resource tables staffed by representatives from area mental health and mental health-related organizations, said Ms. Pamphilon, who is chairing the event. Co-chair is Roberta Roth, outreach librar-ian of the Menlo Park Library. Mr. Huggins is well-known on the Peninsula for his work in leadership roles with orga-nizations including the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula, the Peninsula Community Founda-tion, and the Easter Seals Soci-ety. The head of Caminar for Mental Health, a nonprofit that provides support services for people with mental health and other disabilities, Mr. Huggins will address the stigmatization and societal shift in perspective of mental health conditions.

Others scheduled to partici-

pate in a panel discussion after the keynote speech are: Dr. Gary Tsai, resident psychia-trist for the San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recov-ery Services; and Mary Cortani, an Army veteran who founded the nonprofit Operation Free-dom Paws to match dogs with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorders and other disabilities. There will be a question-and-answer session after the panel discussion. Live music and a poetry read-ing are part of the agenda, and there will be a display of 1,000 origami paper cranes. The dis-play, called “Origami Skye,” is a project launched by Turning Point and the Mental Health Awareness Project with Lisa Otsuka and her psychology stu-dents at Menlo-Atherton High School, Ms. Pamphilon said. “Origami Skye symbolizes a long and healthy life,” Ms. Pam-philon said in the press release. “Rather than stigmatize those with mental health conditions we can prolong their life and well-being in a positive way. The cranes are a symbol of hope.” Go to lisapamphilon.com for more information about the event, Turning Point, and the Mental Health Awareness Proj-ect. A

May and June are turning out to be big months for Riley’s Place, a non-

profit that provides children in need with opportunities to inter-act with animals at its Woodside location, local hospitals, home-less shelters and events. On May 11 the organization will celebrate its fourth anni-versary with a benefit dinner and concert, and will launch a capital campaign to help cover expansion plans. That same month the Wood-side Town Council is scheduled to meet and present a proclama-tion naming June 1 as Riley’s Place Day in Woodside. That day the Woodside Fire Protec-tion District will be staging a “Fill the Helmet” fundraiser for Riley’s Place at the intersec-tion of Woodside and Canada roads. “We are currently serv-ing about 1,300 children per year, and our programs have flourished beyond our wildest dreams,” said Riley’s Place co-founder and executive director Wendy Mattes. “We are now running two program visits per

day, with many more requests, and will need more room to add more animals in order to serve more children.” For now, three miniature horses, two Nigerian goats, four chickens, three rabbits, two guinea pigs and two cats reside at Riley’s Place, which is located in the back of the National Center for Equine Facilitated Therapy at 880 Runnymede Road in Woodside.

NCEFT offers therapy on horseback for many of the dis-abled children who visit Riley’s each week. Trained therapy dogs visit from time to time, and some 4-H sheep make guest appearances when the animals make regular road trips to Ronald McDonald House, for example, to connect with chil-

dren who are too fragile to travel to Woodside. Riley’s Place is named after Riley Church, a teenager who took riding lessons from Ms. Mattes until succumbing to a brain tumor. Toward the end, when friends brought a horse right into Riley’s home for a visit, the experience brought such comfort it inspired the program. A new addition to the pro-gram is adult participation. The Alzheimer’s Social Club came out to Riley’s Place recently, and is planning to return on a monthly basis. “They loved the animals, and the animals loved them,” Ms. Mattes said. Another new addition is Riley’s partnership with Webb Ranch in Portola Valley. Together they are offering free therapeutic horseback riding lessons at the ranch “with the goal of improv-ing confidence, self-esteem, bal-ance, coordination, communi-cation skills, and having fun,” Ms. Mattes said. One of the boys she met at Ronald McDonald House rides at Webb when he can. Stephen
