Location: Landmark Theater, West Los Angeles, CA
Description: The Mono Lake Committee is one of our favorite non-profits. For over 20 years, we have been supporting their efforts to save Mono Lake, reduce water consumption, and change the way the courts look at private property rights vs. the public trust. Their story is now an informative and inspirational video, which will be showcased at this first ever SYRCL Wild & Scenic Film Festival in Los Angeles on March 8, 2012 starting at 7:00pm.
For one night only, they’ll be showing 7 films, including the Mono Lake Committee’s new film, The Mono Lake Story. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival features environmental and adventure films that inspire activism. The lineup includes kayaking, climbing, surfing, dramatic dam tear-downs, artistic animation, dramatic photography, suspense, humor, passion, beat poetry, international adventure, and of course, stories of hope and inspiration.
Bring a friend, get there early, and enjoy the fun goodies from the festival sponsors!

Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey co-authored the New York Times bestselling business book, The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle, and Heart Built America’s #1 Wine Brand. The book has been selected as recommended reading in the CEO Library for CEO Forum, the C-Suite Book Club, and numerous university classes on business and entrepreneurship. It chronicles their humble beginnings from the laundry room of a rented Sonoma County farmhouse to the board room of E&J Gallo, who ultimately acquired their brand and engaged them as brand consultants. Barefoot is now the world’s largest wine brand.
Beginning with virtually no money and no wine industry experience, they employed innovative ideas to overcome obstacles, create new markets and forge strategic alliances. They pioneered Worthy Cause Marketing and performance-based compensation. They built an internationally bestselling brand and received their industry’s “Hot Brand” award for several consecutive years.
They offer their Guiding Principles for Success (GPS) to help entrepreneurs become successful. Their book, The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways To Engage and Empower Your People, helps corporations maximize the value of their human resources.
Currently they travel the world leading workshops, trainings, & keynoting at business schools, corporations, conferences.
