Fundraiser: NAMI-Yolo is having their annual fundraiser Thursday, February 20th at the Pat Williams Mental Health Dinner. This dinner is the annual fundraiser for NAMI-Yolo and is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of mental health options AND amplify the voices of people experiencing mental illness. James Glica-Hernandez, Outgoing Chair of the Local Mental Health Board, is our invited speaker. The annual event celebrates the achievements of our community, and achievements like those of Kathy Williams-Fossdahl, who will be this year’s recipient of the NAMI Yolo Outstanding Mental Health Community Service Award. Kathy Williams-Fossdahl – daughter of Pat & Bill Williams – is a dedicated supporter of Board & Care and recovery in Yolo County. 
It is through her continued support that NAMI Yolo County has been able to keep our only two Board & Care homes in Yolo County open – the homes that her parents established.
