Cazadero Communications by Natasha Pehrson - June 2018
It is a lovely spring day, with sunshine on the large redwoods outside of my airy cyber-hut. Memorial Day looms large and when this column comes out Summer will be in full swing in west county!
The Cazadero Community Club will be hosting an “Appreciation Dinner” for the Cazadero VFD, Ft. Ross VFD and Cal Fire, plus Caz Club members and special guests on Saturday, June 16th, 6 p.m. at Firehall #1. A wonderful catered dinner will be provided by The Rio Cafe in Monte Rio, with desserts and drinks from Club members. I hope that you will attend! Due to the Primary Election on June 5th, the regular monthly meeting of the Club will be on June 12th-7 p.m. at the Firehall. Please come to the meeting and help to plan events which benefit the entire community.
Many of you have probably received an interesting and very informative mailing from our local Fire Protection Districts, outlining plans for local response to possible emergencies and evacuations.You may access their website at www.russianriverfire.org It is extremely important that we all realize that we are personally responsible for preparedness. Something that we certainly hope never happens is always possible.
As the Primary Election nears on June 5th, I urge you to vote! I would never tell you who or what to vote for, but remind you that your vote may be the difference in local contests. If you don’t vote, don’t complain!
