Our beloved Woodland Sponsors Annual Book Talk on November 14 at Book Passage. Room opens at 10:30, talk begins promptly at 11:00.)

Elaine Petrocelli and staff will tell us about new books they recommend for holiday gifts. 

Please bring/invite friends, whether they are potential members or not. The more, the merrier.

A portion of the proceeds from our purchases will benefit Woodland Sponsors.

Woodland Sponsors’ philanthropic efforts support charities serving Marin County children. We strive to shine a light where we can effect the most impact. This fall we’re partnering with Marin Foster Care for a collection drive with a “Back To School” emphasis. 

We will participate in a giving campaign with opportunities for every member to get involved. From chances to purely come socialize with fellow members, to bringing or sending a wagon load of donations. The level of participation is up to you & meant to emphasize commingling & fun while illustrating the power of community, intention & focus. 

We’ve been provided a list of priority items MFC has identified as their greatest needs. The items we supply will be donated to their Community Resource Center, which is designed to serve minors within the dependency system, children aging out of foster care into transitional living situations & the foster families that support them.

Gathering items will begin now & run through Tuesday, October 28th.

 On Tuesday, we will deliver & organize our offerings to the 

Marin Foster Care offices, 55 Mitchell Blvd., Suite 2, San Rafael, 

10:00 am ~ noon.

For those interested, an inspiring tour & details of partnerships & support MFC has cultivated will be available to us.

This campaign follows the footprint of last year’s holiday drive benefiting Adopt A Family.  

MFC’s requests are all available on Amazon, although if you’re passing through Target, & find something on sale, pick up a handful. 

 If you’d like to participate, details of our drive & links to Sign Up Genius are available on the attached sheet below. 

Thank you for your open heart, your energy & compassion.

I hope the hard work from the Woodland Sponsors leadership team is bringing you Joy.

Please reach out for any clarification, discussion or comments,

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
