Mike Bratton, 49er Rotarian, business owner and our guest speaker last week furthered our understanding of the California FAIR (“Fair Access to Insurance Requirements“) Plan made available for property owners who cannot find insurance in the market…i.e. an insurer of last resort. Many of us are in this boat, including Mike, and can expect to be so into the future. ALL these trees!
Thanks to Chris, Cathy, Kelly, Tom M, Robin, Walt, Sandy, and Judy for all you did to support the success of our Milkweeds for Monarch booth at Nevada City Earth Fest. We distributed almost 300 packages of milkweed seeds along with Chris’s seedlings. Congratulations to Lynn and the Nevada City Chamber for a wonderful afternoon!
Program update: Chris Newsom will bring us up-to-date on our “Amigos de Guatemala” project and adventure. (We wish Lynda Guthrie get well Love)
