As part of Wildfire Preparedness Month, FIRESafe MARIN hosted a screening of Golden Eagle Films “The Camp Fire Documentary” on May 14. Approximately 300 supporters and friends filled the Sequoia Theater in Mill Valley and raised $20,000 that will benefit the recovery of Camp Fire survivors and FIRESafe MARIN’s goat grazing program. Pictured (above, left to right) are Mill Valley Fire Chief Tom Welch, Mill Valley Mayor Jim Wickham and FIRESafe MARIN Executive Coordinator Todd Lando.
Mill Valley Rotary was the Presenting sponsor and helped organize the event along with the Mill Valley Fire Department and Community Heroes. Pictured (above, left to right) are sponsors Dave Lundgren, Bob and Pat Emrich, Colleen and Bill Jaeger, Linda Spence, John Belz and Linda and Rolly Wahl.
