Russian River Deep Paddle, October 7-8-9


LandPaths warmly invites you to join us this fall for an unparalleled outdoor adventure with TrekSonoma - three days spent walking or paddling across our local landscape with friends new and old, entirely apart from the automobile.  TrekSonoma offers a chance to experience the landscape as a connected whole - to see it as habitat for wildlife, plants and humans alike, and to grapple firsthand with a patchwork of barriers and access points that both humans and wildlife face when traversing the land and waterways of our county. In an attempt to expand the concept of connectivity, TrekSonoma is dedicated to weaving private landowners, local businesses, and agriculture into the trekking experience. 

Trekking allows us to sink into a different rhythm with the land and each other.  We'll enjoy communal meals, music and evenings around a campfire, pitching tents at scenic campsites along the way. Gear will be shuttled, allowing participants to spend the day with only a daypack, as we focus on local food and vistas, celebrating the great natural resources and agricultural landscapes of Sonoma County.


On this trek we'll paddle the Russian River from Forestville to the Ocean. Our journey will begin in the redwoods, meander through stunning riparian forests teaming with birds, and end with the harbor seals in the Jenner estuary. Each evening we will camp near the river, eat local foods, and join in merriment around a campfire. LandPaths will provide gear transport, a shuttle from Jenner back to Forestville, a naturalist's perspective on the river, and tasty meals beginning with dinner on Saturday. Guest speakers, live music, and good friends will enhance this already beautiful stretch of River.

-Dinner Volunteers Needed-

To Our Wonderful Volunteers of Catholic Charities,

Many of you provided amazing help serving meals to residents of our winter shelter program at Sam Jones Hall last year. We are excited to announce that those temporary winter beds have been converted to additional year-round beds for our clients with full supportive services for those who need our help getting back into homes of their own. 

Since the expansion of our adult shelter, we are looking for volunteers who are willing to prepare, deliver, and serve meals to the individuals of our Sam Jones Hall residence. Dinner is served promptly at 6:00pm to residents, so volunteers should arrive no later than 5:00pm to drop off food, or begin preparation of serving. 

We are currently looking for groups of 5-10 volunteers who are willing to provide, prepare, and serve meals to these individuals. Scheduling is flexible! If you feel that you d on't have time to make a meal at home but would like to volunteer to help serve dinner at the shelter, please contact Contact Noreen Mendoza to learn how to get involved. We are open to all and any volunteers interested in getting involved. 
 
*CLICK HERE* to sign-up to prepare and provide a meal! 
For more information about any of these opportunities OR general volunteering with dinner services you can reply to this e-mail, or contact Volunteer Coordinator Noreen Mendoza at  nmendoza@srcharities.org  or call (707)528-8712 x160.

Thank you for sharing this with anyone who may be able to help make the lives brighter for those most in need,

When a child has an advocate, she is more likely to get needed services - and a permanent, stable home. Are you eager to make a difference in a child's life? Become a volunteer.

CASA is experiencing one of the largest numbers of referrals in 20 years, of abused and neglected children who are entering the child welfare system afraid and alone. CASA is seeking volunteers today. CASA has over 50 youth awaiting your friendship and advocacy, which can bring a life changing relationship to them, and the list continues to grow. As little as 10 hours a month can make a child's life brighter. Our Summer training begins October 5th. Visit  www.sonomacasa.org or call them at 565-6375.
 
CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) are volunteers and ordinary citizens from our community, like you, doing extraordinary work. CASA advocates establish stable relationships with foster children, getting to know their unique history and making informed recommendations to the courts.

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and  Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon


As always, thank you so much, sharing information about our Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program. Your connection with the people of Sonoma County and your ability and cooperative efforts to raise awareness of our program is truly appreciated. The CASA Program recruits and trains citizen volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in the court system. Becoming a CASA volunteer is an investment of time, energy and most importantly...heart. Not everyone is in a position to become a CASA volunteer, but everyone could support our program through an additional volunteer opportunity we are recruiting volunteers for! We would love to have your help sharing the word about it.
 
CASA has become an official charity partner of Destination Races and the next race is the Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon on October 28th in Healdsburg. We are very excited with this opportunity and are looking for volunteers to help with this event on our behalf. To sign up, volunteers should follow this link and choose CASA as their charity. Proceeds from this event will benefit our program.
 
We appreciate any help you are able to give us in sharing information about this volunteer need.
Thanks for supporting Sonoma County's foster children!
