This worthy cause, part NAMI Stanislaus fundraiser, but also awareness and community involvement toward Hope and Recovery, with many Recovery groups involved, come out and walk with us, go Walking in the Park, then way after dark, walk on down to our jam and after party at Minnie's.

Come out and walk with NAMI Stanislaus on Flag Day, and stay for the free Modesto Blues Festival.
