Fantastic, It's February! |
Hello everyone,
Last month was certainly jam packed with the full spectrum of news, and events—locally and nationally. Our stay-at-home order has finally been lifted so we can begin to venture out a bit more -check the Town’s website on resources and links for all things COVID-related! And so here we are in February, a sweet time to remember those we love as Valentine’s Day rolls around. We hope you are feeling loved and nurtured; if you need anything a volunteer might be able to help with, don’t forget our Fairfax 1 to 1 Volunteer Match program. May your February be fabulous!
The Age Friendly Fairfax Task Force: Jody Timms, Barbara Coler, Susan A. Brandborg, Francie Bedinger, Anne Mannes, Jessica Price,
and Jackie Engstrom.

Socializing begins at 12:30, presentation at 1 pm. “Shipwrecks of Marin” For over four hundred years, Marin County’s steep rock-bound shores, treacherous currents and frequent fogs have been the doom of more than three hundred ships. Local historian Brian K. Crawford has produced a definitive book, Shipwrecks of Marin, available from Amazon.com, detailing these famous and little-known wrecks and more than a hundred not documented elsewhere. In this illustrated lecture, Crawford tells the stories of seven of the most significant wrecks on our coasts.
