San Anselmo Survey Ends Monday; Ross Valley Seniors Schedule

Your Input is Needed!

Thank you to the nearly 200 people who have completed our priorities survey.  The Town Council and staff are thrilled at the wonderful response. 

If you haven’t already done so, please help the Town Council set priorities for the next five years by completing our survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V62MWK7. 

Vote for your top ten priorities out of the 33 goals that were identified at a recent Strategic Planning meeting.  The survey will be available through Monday, March 26, 2012. 

Please Help Us Plant Vines 

On Saturday, March 31, 2012, at 9 a.m. volunteers will gather to plant vines at the top of the large concrete wall at 790 SF Drake.  As the vines grow, they will camouflage and soften the wall.  Many thanks to Lori Lopin for coordinating this effort, and to for donating soil and fertilizer and providing the flowering jasmine plants at cost, and to the property owner for his permission.  

If you can join our work party, please email Lori at ljlopin@aol.com.  Please bring post-hole diggers (if you have them), shovels, and gardening gloves.  If you’d like to donate toward the purchase of the vines, just let Lori know.

Thank You’s

Many thanks to the downtown merchants for the lovely spring banners that are adorning our light posts.  They look great!
